Hey All, been lurking around here trying to absorb information for a while now, finally starting to dive in. I'm pretty new to ECU tuning, but I've worked on cars mechanically forever, and I'm an electrical engineer and proficient in multiple programming languages. I've worked with various hardware that is fundamentally quite similar to an ECU in programming structure and flashing procedures, so hopefully thaty gives me a leg up. Still pretty lost in actually tuning technique for now, first goal is get a freaking cable that works (ebay cable just came, has a ch340, which from what I can tell won't work). I plan on trying to modify this cable, since I can't seem to find a working one with reasonable shipping time right now, and I have multiple devices with working ft232s in them...

As for vehicles, I have a 2000 Audi A4 1.8TQM (ATW engine). Support seems low here, and it appears map hunting is in my future. Good thing I have nothing better to do right now.
