V500: need help

I just got my new V500 hooked up on my project car. It is an S4 turbo based FC3 with a massive intercooler and 3" turbo back exhaust and FD ignitors. Most other is stock. I need a base map so I can drive to the dynoshop which is app. 15 miles from my home. I've found many for the V4, but none for the V5. If anyone knows where I could find something, help. Thanks

just copy the settings and do a rough copy of the fuel map.. also when asking for a map its generally a good idea to list things like injectors and fuel pressure as well

Oh yeah, no cats or emissions either. There all stock for now. Will the .WMF files for the V4 work because the V5 ones are .EMS?

No .... V4 and V500 are nothing alike ....what size injectors ...CAS type how are the injectors wired these all matter. I can rough up a map if I have enough detail and it is wired and plumbed right.

Cheers

be careful....my v500 burned up last night. I was testing timing and saw smoke coming out of the ecu. 5 seconds later, the ecu died. POS

I should have went with a haltech.

not sure....nothing changed since we last discussed. I suspected something wrong with this ecu from the start and it never worked right.


Hopefully Wolf will replace/repair it.

In the mean time, I will turn attention to my daily driver, 05 STi.
