Hi to all members.

I would appreciate some help, advice and guidance regarding the following:

(Please remember that programming would be mainly for my brothers 2005 Fiat Multipla 1900 JTD and my 2007 Touareg v10 TDI)

Which tools would you recommend for dumping and writing and why.
Which software for modifying the maps would you recommend and why.
Data logging tools recommendation (I think it might help when testing the effects of the modified file).

I want to do this not for racing but for my own satisfaction knowing that my car is operating at its best not necessarily at its max.

I would like to mention that I’m familiar with modding (software wise) my PS3, Xbox 360 and I regularly flash a new rom to my android phone, so the concept of flashing and the possibility of bricking is not strange to me.

Thanks in advance.

Side note:
I have a lot of questions but that would be for later.
Stuff like......
I know each map and vehicle will differ but I would like to know what is considered the save limit regarding things like Boost map, Torque map, Start of Injection ext.
Which maps must not be modified on there own.
Where in the map is the DPF disable......ext....ext.

Do Not go by the shortest route. No one will give you the tray, the years of work, study, and search.
To rip and upload maps Galletto be good.
For processing Winols.
To test the operation of braking or road test.

You need a lot of time, to study the different types of ecu's. You will have to use damos.
Like Krischm said above, winols is the best option for editing files.
To read galletto, kess, mpps.
Search on youtube vagecumap, it will help you a bit :P

Thanks krischm and vagchip for the feedback.

I have downloaded all the movies on youtube of vagecumap. Very educational. Thanks vagchip.

I wonder if any one would be kind enough to point me in the direction to find the damos files of the next two vehicles:
2005 Fiat Multipla 1900 JTD
2007 Touareg v10 TDI

Thanks in advance.
