Don't tell me that Innovate ripped off VEMS' code........got any links to info on this? I want to make sure that I don't support any company that pulls that sort of bullshit.

VEMS does look pretty bad-ass, and at a reasonable price too. No messing with coil drivers since they are built in.

People complain about the built in ignition drivers becsuse they have the potential to create EMI noise. I have never heard of anyone having issues though. If people are really concerned, you can order the board without the drivers and use an ignition box or coils with the driver built in. Personally I figured I would try the mounted ign drivers and if they caused issues, switch to a driver box.

I dont know much more about the code theft except it revolves around the WB02 code. I am not 100% sure what company took the code and made a product of it. Also details are hard to come by since it was in the early 2000s it happened.

If you google VEMS and code theft you can probably dig up some info.

Anyone look into SDS? I was thinking about using that set up and they have a m42 base map.  Its a full standalone

i cant figure out the real time tracing on this thing. any help is appreciated. and why dont i have one of those big cool maps. i have multiple tiny maps that just seem unnecessary. my car is running fine with the ostrich and the tunerpro bin and xdf file. i cant figure out the tracing tho.

attached a pic of my car. fresh after a good scrubbing.

OEM tuning works differently than a standalone. You have WOT maps, part throttle, idle, ect. Thats what I gather from reading anyway. Also why I said you need the definitions so you know what each map controls.
