Hi everyone, Great forum, happy to be here. I am the new owner of a 2000 stage3/3+ S4.Previous owner was Mantis on here I believe.

On to the question.

I finally have my cable connecting to the ECU and am able to get ECU info and do all the VCDS lite and DTC things. I cannot however do a full read on the flash. I get Requestupload is not supported. I have attempted to contact Mantis and hopefully he will respond, in the meantime maybe some experienced tuners in here could give me some insight. Heres a log chunk to hopefully help.

Tuner probably disabled reading the flash.

Thanks for responding. It was Mantis who was the last one tuning the ECU. Are regular folks able to lock an ECU like that? Hopefully he responds soon to let me know. I opened the ECU and it looks stock, no aftermarket chip. thanks

Read it in boot mode if you must.

Starting over is better, he isnt a tuner.

Yes. Thanks for the ointer. Daz pointed me in that direction also. I'm currently trying to get into boot mode. The sticky says I can do it in car but it's better on the bench. I don't have a bench harness, so trying in cat with charger connected. Still getting no interface error. Any further noob suggestions? Thanks to all

I want to start from scratch but I would like to backup the current tune just in case.

Very very hard to get bootmode working in car unless you have an extra pair of hands..

Thanks for all the input. I managed to bodge together a bench setup and read the flash with galletto. The resulting file has no extension. do I need to do something to it now to load it in to tunerpro? Shouldnt it be a .bin?

thanks again to all.

Ok it seems to be loaded into tunerpro. but im totally green at this. Anyone willing to take a look at the file to see if its actually a good tune? the plan is to get this properly tuned when funds allow, but dont want to destroy the engine before that happens.

open any map. Look at it in 3d

Does it look like a map or nonsense?

Run the file through me7sum. Post the output!

when I open maps in Tunerpro they seem to look legit. I also did a compare bin to stock 551m bin and it shows ~4000 bytes difference. I dont know how much change there should be for a stage 3 tune though. Some of the variables changed seem as though they would be towards performance changes for sure.

Since it isn't a commercial file and you did buy it, feel free to post it and we can look it over. If the car works I doubt its anything bad but I bet there is room for improvement, always is.

Yes it isnt a commercial file as far as I have been told. Mantis told me he downtuned it before he sold it to the owner i got it from. He said even without the meth injection it was extremely safe on 91 octane. I am hoping to get it back to its full potential in a safe tune. I am guessing the main way of dropping hp would of been pulling timing and boost?

Car specs for reference.
-stage 3 F21 turbos
-Siemens 60lb injectors
-JAW 90mm Maf/Intake, Hitachi conversion
-AWE intercoolers
-Devils Own methanol injection

Let me know what you guys see in the tune.

thanks
