I'm assuming you think there's some benefit to an MBC, otherwise why ask about it?

If I post up "what's the down side to 20" rims", doesn't it imply I think there's an up side to them?

As far as other cars with ECU running MBCs... I would assume one of two things: either there's no good way to reprogram the ECU like there is on Subaru's, or there are people that are looking for cheap ways of tricking the car into making a little more power at the cost of longevity just like there are with the Subaru owners that put MBCs on their cars w/o proper engine management.

Like I said, this topic is pretty well sorted out by the community: MBCs are bad in almost every case, the exception being when you're using one in conjunction with custom programed engine management, and even then the benefits are debatable.
