Title: copy from another car
Post by: 111111111111111 on January 31, 2012, 03:13:03 PM
Hi there!
I own a 2000 Audi S4 Biturbo with a 8D0907551D ECU
A friend also owns an S4 Biturbo. I haven't scanned his ECU yet so I don't know the exact model.
If it was the same, is there a possibility to copy his tuning to my car?
His car has a Sportec Tuning on it (Sportec is a professional Swiss tuner)
As soon as I will have scanned his car I will post all galletto files here, just for your reference.
Thanks for your inputs!

Don't do it.

Tune the car yourself or pay for a real tune.

Hi, I would pay for the tune if the car had less mileage. But would you pay ca. 1300$ for tuning a car with over 200'000km ?
What are the technical things I have to deal with?

Download tunerpro from the web, buy the plugin.

Read every last thread on here and go slow..... good luck!

Fwiw, my A4 had 17x,xxx miles on it. I paid to chip it before I found Nefmoto. It still makes me smile, and it now reads 215,xxx. No problems, and I drive the piss out of it.

I've got 170,000 miles on my S4 and it's still going strong, with my own tune.  

edit:  It also runs BETTER than the tune I paid for.

When I look back at what my GIAC tune was doing in my logs, I cringe that I ran the car on that tune for so long.  It really is inexcusable.  But as long as the car is faster, 99% of their customers won't know any better.  I wouldn't go back to a professional tune ever again unless it was specifically tuned for my car alone.

What kind of stuff did you see?

Terrible fuel trims.  Super aggressive timing regardless of conditions... to name a few.

terribly underscaled MAF, notch in req boost causing PID disruption, bad fueling, erratic req boost depending on ambient conditions, the list goes on and on.
