I will submit to the tech library when I finish the tuning process to give it a proper big picture and some time to give a better explanation behind how I arrived at some of my settings. When I am just trying to knock some pics in from my picasa web album I forget what I was going to say about the pic, lol. I do agree though, setting up megasquirt on this car was likely more of a challenge being a rarer breed of the VW and it not being as sophisticated as an EEC-IV to start with. In all reality doing up something that has OBDII capability should in theory be a little easier on the front end as all the parts/sensors are there, you just need to figure out where they go on the EEC-IV header and how they behave. This VW went through a fire that pretty well chewed through the harness and sourcing a harness until recently for a fair price relative to what I paid for the heap was non-existent. I will say that wiring was the biggest time consumer especially if worked late one night with a few thirsties along the way. Sometimes in the morning the wiring I did in the late stages the night before didn't quite add up. The more I butt-dyno the car in the coming month or so the better I will understand some of the setting/hardware choices I've made. On a side note, I have drawn my own 36-1 wheel to replace the DIY autotune one i bought. There is nothing wrong with the DIY autotune ones however the size I had to buy and low stance of the car caused me to case one pulling in the driveway. If you need a wheel drawn in autocad I can generate one pretty quick with a .dxf that can be used by a fab shop with a capable burn table. My wheel works and I should believe I can at least draft one up to work for you if need be.
