I'm still working on it Tony. But I just haven't had much to report lately.

The current state of play is that for diagnostics we have the VWRX software working but it is not ideal. The JDash software is not far from working. The JDash guy kindly wrote some code for the SVX but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. From looking at it, I think it needs a few small tweaks.

As far as tuning goes, we know where the fuel, base timing, and advance maps are and maf scaling, and rev and speed limiters. So anyone with a suitable eprom programmer could probably start tuning their engine.

However once the ECU has taken the base values from it's maps, it tweaks them based on sensor inputs and learned values. I am currently trying to figure out this process so that we know what exactly what the ECU is doing and why. Otherwise there is no easy way to diagnose the problem if a modified map isn't working as expected.
