Pretty cool that you did your own tuning. Does your ECU log? If so, can you access it with your VAGCom thing? What does the tuning software look like?

Thanks! although i'm far from a "tuner", more of a hack who makes a few tweaks. if i were to look at the overall scope and copmleteness of the tune i'd say i've only scratched the surface. its fun to do though and a great education on how the car runs and why it does what it does.

yes and yes. there are 2 programs. ECUFlash is the software that interfaces with the car itself to log, flash, and pull data. Romraider is the software in which you can access the car's tune and make adjustments.

as far as looks, here is an example of 2 fuel map tables, the first stock and the second with changes i made:



its pretty intuitive and the resolution on how minute the changes in values can be is very good. there are plenty of screencaps you can check out with a little google image search if you want.

both subaru and mitsubishi cars can work with this software and both programs are free and opensource.

the only real trick with this particular homemade VAG cable project (besides the little jumper cable i soldered) was that it requires certain versions of both programs to work, which was just a trial and error situation.
