Thanks for your posts grifowl.

I've been lurking here off and on for a while and saw the activity. I'm starting to swap an AUX 4.2L from an '03 A8 into a Porsche Boxster. I bought a few cheap ECUs on eBay and have bricked two with incompatible .bins. What ECUs can I flash with 420blazeg0d.bin? I'm guessing 4D0907560CE. I have a 4D0907560AF (2001 A8) that i did immo off on and haven't bricked yet... any idea if I can flash that? Thx.

Awesome. I just successfully flashed it to the 4D0907560AF ECU. Verified it didn't brick and the contents match. Hopefully in a week or so, I'll have the engine in and rest of the harness sorted out enough to give it an initial run. Lots of ancillary stuff to work out to get it road/track ready, but this should be a big help. Thanks.

A friend (grifrowl) pointed out that me7.1.1 intake flap mapping (that I stole from a stock bin) seems to be pretty lacking in the first file. Copying maps from me7.1 ver pushes a little more torque in the midrange. Just take a look yall.

It looks like 39 is correct for clutch trigger. Scotch lock the other end to pin 3 on the brake switch.

Pinouts of 40v 4.2 harnesses for progeny:


So I'm finally getting back around to playing with this.  Re-verified I have 12V/0V at pin 39 when pressing clutch.  Not seeing signal in VCDS group 066.  Just happened to look at my soft-coding (07752).  Googled that sequence and looks like that's a TIP sequence.  Seems this has been my mistake.  VCDS doesn't have a pop up balloon showing the different coding options.  (Definition file) So looks like I've been driving around with the ECM thinking the car is an auto.   No Christmas tree dash but lots of funky things happening.  Anyway, Can you (or someone) tell me the proper softcoding to enter?  The car is a 2004 Allroad.  But I've found that usually in the soft coding A6/Allroad are synonymous.  I don't know which bit is to switch from auto to manual. 
Thanks!

I have put a V8 into my A4 and had to recode to 10712 to work with the ME7.1.1 file posted

Yes that's it thank you.  Another person responded about simultaneously in another forum with the same code.  The car is completely different now!!  Clutch switch is now registering in VCDS, idle control is better, drive-by-wire is more responsive.  I'm one happy man!  Driving this car for the last month or two has been a nightmare.....

For progeny again. I often find it easier to just reflash 95040 than to walk through the vcds shit.

Wouldn't each individual cars SKC/VIN/CLUSTER ID etc be different?  I assume the attached EEPROM files are IMMO off and setup as a manual, but the VIN/SKC would be wrong (?)

On another topic, can you tell me the measuring blocks for both of the intake flap solenoids?  I'd like to use VCDS to activate both solenoids and make sure both the solenoid and vacuum source are working properly

Sorry for the late reply, lots of distractions and little progress... I don't have a build thread, but lots of posts on the 986forum. Here's a thread that seems to have most of my progress:
http://986forum.com/forums/performance-technical-chat/66668-any-progress-v8-engine-swap-options.html
Once I get a solid/proven build together, I'm going to post it with details. Looking to have it on the track/street this spring (2018).
