With all your questions, i dont think it'd be best for you to be screwin with the ecu.
Theres a lot PRO racers people here who race dont even tune their own car.
You might wanna do some research first.. try "Accessport" in the search button.

www.openecu.org , you'll need ECUFlash & ECUExplorer
www.enginuity.org , you'll need Enginuity
www.tactrix.com , you'll need a Tactrix cable
www.osecuroms.org , handy for offline maps.

before you touch your ecu, read, read, read, & read.

/\ very helpful bunch of sites. also search a bit on nazziak....im doing a CRAPLOAD of research/reading about it and am extremely interested in it as well. most common program as of my knowledge is enginuity. used with a tactrix cable. many people out there have maps already made and are willing to share, not to mention some of the pre-made pretty nice maps by xpt. i suggest lets keep this thread open for a while and try to get as many people with openport tuning knowledge in here to clear things up and answer questions..
