Good stuff,

'It's easy to be the best when you actively discourage those below you'

A lot of questions.

Turbo:  Compressor map helps, but season'd members might help.
WinOLS change the figures and watch the curve change in 3d mode.   You can also drag in 3D

Setting the bin file size, from the edit XDF header pop up, to 512 did the trick. Thanks DD.
So now I have edited out the SAI codes I believe. Now I can run checksum corrector on the bin and in theory I am good to go. No more CEL..

Parallel to this work I was able, with help, to get an unlocked version of winols going. So I am hoping I can take my original bin, and apply the map packs developed by members here to it. Then resave and export it back to tunerpro to work with on the car.
The map packs in question seem to have all the map values already developed, which cuts my own leg work significantly.
In winols, when you 'import map packs' it seems to put all the maps and definitions in your left window under your hex dump. Does it overwrite your own bin automatically at the correct addresses, or is that an additional step?
Then I presume you save the project as a BIN once more? That can then be used by tunerpro with the XDF I am developing currently?
Thanks guys.

But where? Very few people create xdfs from scratch. Most edit the pre-existing ones from what I've seen.

Thanks for the replies all.
TunerPro was what I used last year when I was able to take an existing enhanced bin for the AWW engine, and with minimum invested programing and learning time, was able to complete an engine/ecu upgrade on my Corrado. The improved air and all the tuning hit it off right out of the gate so I had to do nothing else to that program.
So this year with the Audi with older ecu and all, and no xdf's out there, but a few kp files I started looking into winols for the first time. Simultaneously DDillenger helped me to create my own xdf from almost scratch. Since all I really need, or want is the CEL light out, I think I am there now with the attached finished bin. Ran checksum correction on it already and everything!
But, if I can get more bang out of my stock 1.8T ATW with some more learning about copying maps and such within winOLS from already tested runs recorded from guys who already did it. I figure that's the way to go.
This being an older car now, I figure everything I am trying to do should have already been done and tested by someone, fine tuning to my specific car not withstanding. So now I'm learning to use OLS.
Anyway, that's the long winded reason I am between tunerpro and winols.
And great analogy and description of the maps being the contents page Adam, Thanks for that clear visual in my head.
 
Cheers.

Another noob question, how do I determine my mem layout for this ecu?
Opened up the flashing tool and the xml field was empty.
Choices are ME7 29f200, 200BB
29f400, 400BB, and 29f800,800BB, and 800BT.
Thanks.
I did try 29F400BB as indicated in another thread. Just didn't work, so i'm double checking.

Mike

Was the invalid error that threw me thanks.
So, flash done, car still runs, yeah..
Will see if the P0411 code is gone for good but it was the bin I revamped in ols so gives me some hope I can go to the next step.
The tweaks I want to do to my car, boost etc as far as I can go on a stock maf/injector set up, can I use the data from my wideband AWW bin as starting points or no? Too different?

If anyone has any old reference tables and such, I would be most appreciative. Rereading the S4 wiki as it seems to cover what I want to do, but seemingly in the next model ecu as well.
Cheers.
