very informal guys! i understand there is sort of a war per say between bosch and the tuner world. its sort of like the war between apple and the jailbreakers lol. i do know that bosch very heavily guards their ECU documentation and data as well because i've tried to purchase documents from them before and they get extremely unhappy when it comes to being bothered with selling that stuff. really a bosch employee must have to be pretty high up on the food chain there to get access to that stuff because i have a family member who works at the automotive research facility in pittsburgh and lets just say he cant even get a peek at any of this stuff. i wish he could just empty the servers and filing cabinets lol.

i was thinking about the whole VW TDI scandal here in the USA and it seems that tuner protection came into play around the same time their modified software started. what i thought would be funny is if the US government somehow forced bosch to make ECU documentation public somehow so that any future attempts at anything like this could be monitored. i know its a pipe dream and it will never happen but the screwy government would do something like this just so they could control more and more of what goes on in this country. by the way im all for what bosch/VW did to them cars, i think its great and they should be left alone as their not hurting anything. assholes with douched out cummins/duramax/powerjokes and their 6in stacks blowing soot everywhere should be the primary targets.
