CalID is ZA1JA01I. But you're right that would make sense. I noticed the EGR system was enabled, and we obviously don't have that. It was based off a 'stock' rom from ecutek.

I think stuff like this is helpful. thank you for posting it! I had to create a whole excel macro in VB to be able to reliably re-scale the MAF sensor after I boosted my car.
