hi all, i need some help, this thread seems relevant to my situation.
im new to the whole opensource tuning scene (and this forum) on my 2011 AUDM Ralliart and have stumbled upon my first mistake/error.
I need help, i have installed ecuflash 1.42 on my pc, as guided to throughout numerous tutorials and how too's such as merlins and rich's how to guides.
although after only reading my ecu through using ecuflash and saving my raw data, my interface disconnects (as it says)in my log data and i do not have a chance to end the programming session or clear cel's.
my car is now running filth at idle/startup and rpm is sitting at around 1500rpm in park and the cel's are lighting up my dash and it says service/maintenance required.
i have been trying to view my first reads data, although i am not that computer savvy and cannot seem to figure it out at all.
my plan is to flash using the gst v.6 boost pill upgrade, although i am worried i have either lost the data from my first read and i cannot reflash or even reset the factory ecu.
if someone could chime in and give me a hand that would be great, or even if someone in sydney aus, know a tuner i can go to for help would be great.
this is my daily drive so im in a bit of trouble here, if anyone could chime in and give me a hand id be greatful.

Wait a very short while, and the new "GST Base Map" version 27 will be out!
Use the "stock pill" version tune, 2009 AUDM/EDM. ROM ID 53610010 - same as mine.
It'll be a very nice improvement.

Richard,
I am still assuming your car is still under warranty since it is a 2009. Have you had to bring it into the dealership and flash back to the stock rom to make sure your warranty is not voided?
If you did how did it go?

Yeah, it's still dealer-serviced.
I do flash it back to stock... mostly to avoid the risk of some Mitsu-trained tech having their brain explode trying to think outside the box. ie. fixating on What Is Really Different On This Car when problem-solving, instead of just getting on with the problem-solving.
I had a small warranty item fixed recently - no issues.

Thats great news about the dealership not knowing!
On another note. I should be asking else where but from your experience. The GST base maps that were made (2.5 to 2.7) were made in the California climate (ie. low altitude, warm and moist temperatures).
Now, for a guy like me up in Canada that has a high altitude, its dry and can either get really cold or really hot during the seasons, will the GST basemaps need to be tweaked for the climate/altitude change?
Just a thought.
