Default For the 02's? No...

I would guess the nonDBW and some of the DBW stuff is probably mostly hacked.

Problem is, no chip tuner will give out the info, since it would definately affect their chip sales.

Default IMO the (major) tuners have 'cracked' the ME ECUs but they aren't going to share with the likes of

you or me.

The Majors/MTM-Dahlback-Lehman-Hohnester were given the code - US minor tuners need not apply

Default GIAC, AMS and APR have demonstrated time after time they have as good a handle on the ECU

functions as ABT, MTM or Dahlback. The fact that the US based tuners don't offer 20000 dollar high HP 'kits' doesn't mean they don't have a handle on the ECU functions .. given or otherwise.
I've also 'heard' that GIAC and Sportec were 'given the code'. I believe that as thoroughly as your saying MTM, Dahlback, etc., were.

I do believe that you're right about GIAC and Sportec.
