> Hi Jim,  I don't have an SCar.  I have a Urq.   It has the 2valve engine, not the newer 4valve ones (I Wish for ).        I have been "On" this list for years...   So I will make some recommendation , etc...   
> --- If you can work on the car , then the options  are different.  Can you do mechanical work or Electrical work or Electronic work ??   Then the options are different .   O34 stuff is very much like the "stand-alone" DIY  type  software of Mega Squirt.   It requires You or someone you hire to do the tuning and installation work.   Most of the people on this list use the existing , Engine Management System of Audi and then modify it or have someone do that or buy modified equipment like  2Bennett and others---Some on this list.   Another List which is used a Lot is the Quattro List or , Quattroworld.com  .   It has huge amounts of Info.   The Forms link off that site is very good and highly recommended by Many if not all the Audifans people.         My Urq had an older EMSystem than S-cars (with the 4valve engines )  and I chose to go with Megasquirt so that, in the end,  I could do the tuning myself.    I had the old system replaced and the MS installed at a shop.   It took a while to find someone who could do that work and was familiar with MS.   I am Still learning ....and still tuning -- slowly.  The shop I used is gone.      There are people on this list who have achieved at least  400 hp , at the wheels , so it is very doable.  All it takes, "they say",  is time and Money and work.          It should be a Fun Car  !!     :)))

> ---PS;  MegaSquirt information can be had from Many places;   www.megamanual.com/forums.htm ,  this is the Original MS site/link for MegaSquirt software research and development.    There are Other sites and MS vendors;  I used , DIYautotune.com  because I wanted an assembled Engine Management system and  some technical help available.  Another site is;    www.efianalytics.com  ;  there are others.
