If you want to tune it yourself, get help from the community, and also a little help from reputable tuners a solution like this probably would be the way to go:

That is worthless to me personally. Remember OFT is just a "cable". Not a tuning platform or software suite. OFT is actually locked down extensively. I may however start contributing more to the open source guys and start working on a flex fuel setup for that. If you look in the ecuflash thread I have posted in there with trying to contribute with data logging ability. (i have built my own hardware data logger for this car that accepts ECUTek extended parameters). If you are not fully familiar with OFT please go find the OFT thread that was bashing on ecutek (whom im not a fan of either by any means, so dont think im on anyones side). Find my posts in there talking about what OFT really is. At least I think it was in that thread... As there is a number of people confused thinking OFT is a full blown suite for tuning. The developers of OFT use another companies software and literally just make hardware for reading / writing to the ecu. The owners were just kind enough to make some "optimized" base maps as well as an incentive to purchase their hardware. So i can't really "Contribute" to OFT as it is their project and their hardware and it is closed source. OFT is a device similar to the tactrix cable but slightly more advanced, and afaik doesn't follow the J2534 protocol which makes it a "closed" and propriety cable. Although this is of little use to know the difference to most end users since they are just using the OTS tunes provided anyway and aren't actually going to be tuning their cars them selves. However if I do testing on MBT thresholds on different setups that could be used on any platform may it be OFT + TunerPRO, the opensource guys, ecutek, whatever.
