While we're on the topic, since you can read any ECU, isn't tuning these cars basically copying another's program, changing some moinor parameters and putting your stamp on it?

Ari hit it on the head... The only way to recoup from development time for a much less widespread program is like that. I wish it was as simple as "changing some minor parameters" but it isn't

The Bosch/Porsche Motronic with with PSM et al. is one complex SOB that only a few people in the world can truly dissect and understand...

Uncle Larry,

I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure you didn't get my car confused with Jay's? Now everyone on this board knows that Jay is a maniac, only second to Miki and Eric of course!!

Hey we should do another late night Boba run. That's probably the only time that we can try out the GIAC!!

OWEYEA!!!
