hi, got the PM, better reply here:
you need TunerPro (freely available, donation preferred) with the right XDF (definition file) for your ECU (our ecus are similar to integrale EVO2, nuova delta, some 155s etc)
decent info shared (occasionally...) on community.prograle.org
You also need an eprom burner (30-50quid max from ebay) must support 27C256 chips in DIP form
A few chips (either UV eraseable or get electrically eraseable SST 27SF512 and skip spending 20quid for an UV eraser)
That's all really, means you can be editing bins and burning chips for under 100quid.
HOWEVER:
you may break your engine really quickly unless you know what AFR/boost/EGT you are running.
If you want to be able to do some decent experimentation, you should fit the following:
wideband lambda probe and AFR meter (200+ quid)
EGT probe + display (50-150quid)
boost gauge (around 30quid min)
So the under 100quid project becomes 400quid unfortunately.
I'd recommend some sort of knock detection system (probably diy search on the innovate site for one)
Having most of that, I can assure you moding bins is not that easy. Too many parameters to edit with conflicting effects on each other.
You may also opt for realtime editing, spend less than 200USD and get the excellent Ostrich2.0 from moates.net
And spend a lot of time reading/understanding them bins you'll pick up around the web
[hiding waiting for JohnS and co lecturing on RR sessions by pros-which I agree but takes the fun away...]
