Oh it's a straightforward process. While running up and down stairs, you need to set up an FTP server on your PC, create a share containing the files, log into that share over the network with the FTP client and then FTP the map down! Make sure you use binary too else she'll be corrupt!

Oh this assumes you have a working network adaptor!

And then hope you haven't zipped it because I don't believe that the Libretto has got a zip client installed!

See, a trivial process, I tell you.

In all seriousness, it should fit on a floppy disk. Does your Libretto have a built-in FDD or do you need to use the PCMCIA one?

Oh my god you nerds, what on earth are you on about?

I could have saved heaps on tuning if I knew what you guys were talking about.......I think. :oops:

I have a proper wideband sensor if you want to travel to tune it :lol:

UPDATE.

After an hour or 2 of Sabretooth's time last night, the tuning computer had updated software.

Did it fix the problem? No.

So anyway, I was driving home tonight on a 2 lane road with no one around me. I wanted to know just how bad the stock computer would be at fuelling the increased air flow. I dropped into 2nd in an 80 zone and slowly excellerated (without any boost) to over 4000RPM (out of closed loop). The a/f ratio immediately dropped to 14.5:1 (from 14.7:1 in closed loop). This is correct, cause of the bigger injectors and no extra air. I slowly opened up the throttle to increase the boost pressure to ~0. The air fuel ratio stayed at around 14-14.5:1. I slowly gave it a little more = ~1-2PSI, and the a/f ration didn't start to lean out, it started to get richer... :shock:

I gave it a little more (still travelling well under the limit with noone around me). At around 3-4PSI the a/f ration dropped to 11:1... :shock:

So I gave it a little more... r. That is what my gauge says when it is off the scale rich. :shock:

I thought it must be because I eased it on and the computer had time to keep up with it. I went back to vac, and then eased the throttle all the way to the floor. The redline comes at you very quickly with just 6PSI...

A/f ratio went almost instantly to r.

I got off it again, slowed right down and just stomped on the loud pedal. :shock:

I was a giggling mess. The a/f ratio was rich as all hell all the way to redline. I have been pussy footing it all week thinking that I was going to be running lean.

When I got home I pulled the AFM off and leaned it out a click. Put it back in and went for a spin.

In boost, the a/f ration stays between 11.5 and 13 unless I'm at WOT, where it still just says \"r\".

Perfect.

Now I just need to fix the bloody eManage so I can up the timing when not in boost! :roll:

Very happy camper.
