Tuning guide for dummies

Postby VAG'd » Wed Jun 29, 2016 9:23 pm

Hi Ladies and Gents

I'm very new to the tuning industry but i have always been a fan of tuning and slowly but steadily been teaching myself how to tune.

I actually want to keep it short and sweet so that i dont bore you guys. I would appreciate some inputs and the tricks and the trades you use to make your tuning life better and easier.

My experience and skills so far:
-Can download the files from the car (easiest)
-Can identify maps and make map packs with Winols in EDC15 and EDC16 VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat TDIs (Probably the easiest cars)
-Have been able to translate German Damos to English.
-Been able to do the calculations to tune correctly (TDIs only)

Now what i would like to know:
-If I'm correct Damos is like a super mappack? How would i go from Damos into creating the necessary map packs which i then can use for tuning? even though i can translate everything (which takes forever) i still do not understand the descriptions clearly and then i dont know whether i should create a map pack.
-I would like start tuning turbo petrol cars as well, but must first learn the basics.
-need to find a quicker way to create map packs.

It will be very cool if you guys can share some tricks and trades.
Lets keep it basic for now so that me :wave: the dummy would understand. :thumbup:

where in sa are you from mate? the best answer i can give you is to learn how to recognize maps, most of the factors is on the forums. the way that i started is i downloaded all the maps i could find of a specific ecu tipe, and i would spend alot of time trying to identify maps
