Communicating with an ECU

[justin ivan]

A remote control software may be your easiest solution. Some others to 
recomend are pcAnywhere,Remotley possible and VNC viewer. All have their 
merits and drawbacks. You will find that all of them are not the speediest 
of sorts.
To bring this back to EFI content, tell me more about the ecu you supply, 
looking for a different (non-vw) ecu for a 4 cyl turbo.
