Tuning software

Just make sure that you INSIST that you will get a copy of your ECU's the external flash and eeprom memories i.e your stock files. It could save you a world of hurt in future and it shouldn't cost you a cent.
I'm looking at some big turbo files atm here not from either of these two places though and they aren't the best, little things that you can drive around but what looks like a careless error in some tables (and yet nice stuff in others) . You just don't want to get stuck with a bad tune that you or any other place can never remove.

I talked with my tuner today, and he may be willing to stump up some cash to get the software that the overseas reflashers use to custom tune.
Probably look at an outright cost and a royalty for each tune or something.

Does anyone have any contacts with a company that may be able to provide such software to my tuner to purchase?
WA is lacking a workshop to do any sort of real-time tuning on VAG cars

He might be in a for a bit of a rude shock when he finds out what the whole package will cost. As yours is an ME7 ECU I'd seriously look at
Welcome to EURODYNE - Maestro 7 Tuning Suite
I know they might not have the AU ones sorted at the moment but if theres enough interest........
You can only do real time tuning on cars up to say 2004/2005 where the mapping info is stored on an external flash chip & not internally in the processor. The ME7 which does have an external flash chip can't be done in real time for some reason, I think just lots of stored quick flashes before you do a full write. You need additional hardware for this too, we didn't bother with it.
The other thing is the tuning methods are completely different to what he would be used to and to be honest its very hard to work out initially so he will need a lot of time up his sleeves.

Maestro still doesnt support the VR6, and I'm not entirely sure it will have everything that I may want control over, nor that its suitable if I want to go turbo down the track.

Just putting out the feelers to see what its going to cost, it may well be too expensive but wont know until we get some idea.
As I said, may be keen to get a bunch of people to help subsidise the cost, and a royalty or something for the company. Ideally it would be great to share info with an existing tuner for the reasons above.
Kind of like an "affiliate" or something.

Tuner is very experienced, but yeah mostly with Japanese stuff (vipec, autronic, motec, nistune, ecutek/verso etc), but he's especially keen as there is a market here, and his girlfriends car is an Audi 1.8T, haha.

So did anyone here end up buying the Maestro?

I'd suggest you take a look at www.nefmoto.com; lots of information there.
