I've recently sold my mk5 gti that i tuned myself via mpps and winols, i've now got a family wagon 2007 320d with the m47 engine and would like to tune it, with a mate with the same car and engine already having a stage 1 tune on his, would it be possible to read his file and then flash to mine?? Or is this a very bad idea?

The smart thing would be to read the file and line it up with yours and port all the stage 1 changes over. Cross flashing is never really a good idea. Worse case could brick the ecu, small variants between sub models (auto / manual 5p£ed 6 speed etc) just going to add that if you actually tuned a mk5 you should have the ability make your own file and not be lazy and rip someone elses work...

If you are broke or expecting free handouts DO NOT message me. I'll probably put you on blast if you do.

I know I should make the file myself but with a newborn and a demanding job time is very limited hence the stupid idea to steal his generic stage 1 map
