Hi all, fairly new to the forums here, but have lurked for a couple years now. I have a big turbo 1.8t gti and have been tuning it with Maestro for almost 5 years now. Recently my ECU shit the bed and I'm finally biting the bullet on switching over to TunerPro/WinOLS demo. I've been working through a couple speed bumps to get flashed for the first time but I figured I would organize my thoughts here, and hopefully learn from any of the gurus around here.

I should have my ft232r blue flash cable next week, but in the mean time, I really want to slap a tune together, and have a plan of attack for when it arrives so I can drive my car again. Its been sitting for 6 months and I'm driving a Turdcel, I really miss the power haha. Anywho, just hoping somebody can confirm my thinking is correct.

So before anything, I will need to immo defeat or clone my old eeprom and using bootmode, flash it to my new ECU. I know Eurodyne files can't be flashed over with NefMoto, but i will still be able to rip my old 95040 from my Maestro ecu to get the immobilizer working on my new ECU, right? Second, my new ecu is a 032NL, old is a 032PL. Im hoping crossflashing with an 032HS file will not cause problems? I found huge .xdf/.kp file somewhere on here and none of the other ECUs I have found are as well defined as the HS.

So far, I have worked out how to add params to my xdf in TunerPro in order to edit the map axes, and have essentially put together what looks like a Stage 3 base tune from Eurodyne plus or minus a few things. I think I coded out my emissions stuff properly in the hex editor. I plan to flash and very carefully work my way up to a stable tune, but in the meantime, I also want to try to get a 5120 hack working for the HS.

Im choosing the HS because it is the best defined ECU I could find, and as I'm new to this software, I dont want to throw myself at too steep of a learning curve by reading and defining my own .bin. I have sifted through the s4wiki, Bische's thread, and a few other threads here, and have made edits to all the scalars, tables, and axes listed here:
http://s4wiki.com/wiki/Manifold_air_pressure:Rescale_project

There are quite a few that either don't exist on a 1.8t ecu, or aren't defined in my .kp or .xdf files. If anybody could steer me in the right direction that would be awesome! Here are the IDs in question:

FHOKH
KFDPVL
KMLTESG
DPDSVLU
DSUGRAD
DSUOFS
PUE
PUMN   (I do have UADPUMN. Is that the proper map?)
PUMX   (I do have UADPUMX. Is that the proper map?)
PVDKMN
ZDSU
PBKVVSTG
PUEBKV
NLDIAPU
FRLFSDP    (Might be improperly defined. My axis values are 2776.25|3166.88|3557.50|3948.13|4338.75|4729.38|0.00|390.63|781.25|1171.88|1562.50 and I would bet money that those values are not correct)


I dont need anybody to spoon feed me addresses or anything, but if anyone has done this before for a 1.8t, let me know if those tables exist on our ECUs, and if so, give me some direction on how to locate them. I will attach my 5120 file and my xdf, and for anyone who feels like helping, thanks in advance!



edit: wont let me upload the xdf file. Heres a link to the definitions I am using, however, the params for axes are not added in

Interesting. Okay, I'll look into that.

I have updated the wiki page you referenced, which isn't really complete, it was a work in progress.

NONE of the 5120 changes will work unless you do ALL of the required ASM changes.


Forget about ESKONF until you fix the MAF problems.

So it's been a fun month and a half. Had to spend the majority of my free time replacing pads and rotors, doing a timing belt/water pump job, fabbing new intercooler pipes to fix my boost leak, and doing body work on my other project car, but I'm finally in a position where I can focus on tuning the VW again.

I am running into trouble getting datalogs to work. I have me7logger and the GUI set up properly AFAIK, but I'm getting a timeout error when trying to start logging. I've read that I might need to wire in a secondary/solitary K line wire, but I'm not sure how to go about it. For anybody who has had to do that before, do I just strip and splice the proper wires on the ECU/OBD plugs, or is it a temporary wire that is only connected while I'm taking logs? And could the K line really be my issue comsidering Maestro allowed me to take datalogs just fine?

Can you not just code the ECU in properly rather than immo-ing off?

Temporarily make a direct connection (with no T's) direct from the OBD port to the ecu. Some people makes relays, or use a toggle switch so they can go back and forth easily.

You just made my headache go away. I'm terrible at designing electrical circuits so your explanation made everything much more clear. I was thinking I could get it done with a SPDT but apparently not. Thanks for sharing
