Hi all,
So i have a big name 1.8t file that came on an ECU i bought.  I wanted to learn more about what the aftermarket does, so started defining an XDF for the file.  I think it would be useful as a learning tool for people to post this file and definition, but that obviously basically hands out a big name tune.  Would there be anything wrong with posting portions of the file?  Maybe screen shots of some of the maps?  I definitely don't want to break any rules, but i did learn a bit from some of the changes they made and i'm sure others would also.  (i was particularly happy to learn that they also used LAMFA for fueling and mostly stock KFMIOP or KFMIRL)

i think you can tune stock file the same way (+-) and post it like a your own tune

The more you learn, the more you realize that very few tuners do it right anyway. I don't even bother looking anymore.

Fair enough. I won't post anything from it.

Yep. Quality varies a lot, unfortunately more to the downside.

Best to learn from scratch and try to do it right.
