I looked at a Galant today that supposedly had a K's ROM in it. Apparently it boosts to 1.2 bar.
I didn't believe it as it was using the OEM boost solenoid but after doing some research (thanks wayback machine), I can see the Japanese were indeed tuning these things as early as 2004 on the factory ECU.
Just thought it was interesting and worth sharing. If you google KSROM without any Japanese terms there is stuff all results. This can act as a bit of a reference!

Additionally, below are some minkara reviews, you will need to translate but feedback is generally very positive and it seems even back in the 2000s they had after sales support and retuning options.
I can't confirm if below is a KSROM but I believe it is, apparently stock turbos with fairly standard mods, OG Kansai Service dyno.
