I bought a ELM327 OBD2-USB interface cable months ago. Today I was hit upon a sudden idea to start playing with it. I managed to find the OBD2 port of my Scirocco and insert the cable into the port. I chose PCMSCAN to connect with the car, because it’s the first one I managed to get working. I was very excited when I saw so many data are successfully retrieved from the car. PCMSCAN has very rich features, including the exciting Drag Strip and Dyno.
STEP 1 DATALOGGING/SCANNING
You cannot successfully program a better chip for your car unless you know exactly the engine is doing, and when you change a setting how the engine reacts. To do that you need a Scan Tool, or Data logging capability a lot of company’s that can program a chip or ECM say that don’t need to data log.
Well 2 exact cars with the same parts are still going to run differently due to differences in small things you would normally think of, even if they do have Self Learn Capabilities.
The Volkswagen Golf has always been one of the most tuned cars ever. Fans and owners are often quite keen to extract more power from their Golfs than is available to them off the factory floor. In recognising this Swiss-based Sportec has created the Sportec SC 200 which is based on the Golf 1.4 TSI.
