  • I think this is also a problem of old timers not being able to articulate their concerns well. There is probably a reason they do or don’t do something a certain way, but if they can’t explain why, then no one is going to listen. Blindly following someone for percieved wisdom doesn’t teach you anything.

    I actually like it when someone can show me why I’m wrong, because it saves me time. But if you can’t tell me WHY my idea won’t work, I’m probably just gunna do it anyway to figure it out myself.

    I think this is as much a case of bad teachers as it is bad students.

    There’s probably a microsoft engineer out there somewhere sitting in a cubical who has the solution already written and tested and they just can’t figure out how to send it to their boss. They’ve tried outlook, teams, github, skype, and even one drive but they’re all so broken that it may just be faster to print the code out and mail it.





  • I don’t think a Haltech ECU would pass inspection in most US states. I’ve had trouble getting my golf inspected with just a cat and a flash tune. There are emissions readiness monitors in most stock ECUs that need to show up for it to pass. The exhaust and tune i have aren’t even sold anymore because of the increasing number of legal restrictions. I get why it has to be that way but it does suck for people who want to work on their car.

    In short, this is one of those questions where if you have to ask the answer is no. It may be possible but unless you have a spare TV laying around that you don’t mind breaking it’s not a good idea to try. The best advice I have for any modder is to have multiples of whatever you’re modifying on hand.
