Double booting/ tuning on mac?
Hey guys, I'm looking to start on customizing a tune for my car, got a friend thats willing to teach me how to do it but I have a mac... So what I need help with is:
1) Anybody familiar with tuning on a mac?
2) Anybody familiar with double booting windows and mac on your mac?
Thanks

I hope you have more than one car.
Bootcamp on a Mac is pretty straight forward. It takes a while to get it partioned and install Windows, but once it's all set, you just reboot your Mac into Windows mode and get cracking.

If its easy to screw up and blow my engine, I'm not gonna do it. I was unaware of that, I can't risk screwing up the car. I have a friend that has a couple windows discs that I can use.

My buddy is gonna throw a tune on for me so I don't actually HAVE to have windows, but I wanted windows so I can mess with tunes and try to learn it. If its really that easy to mess up a tune and screw up your car then I don't want to do it. Would I be okay if I read up some tuning tips so that doesn't happen?

i see so youre gonna have someone tune it for you via whatever opensource and then you wanted to tweak it yourself?
i mean its not hard, you can read up etc on it but yeah, i dunno personally i wouldnt do it unless youre ready for another block.

He's got the same car as me so he's just gonna shoot me his open source tune that he has on his and I am considering getting a short ram soon and I don't wanna keep going to him to do the tune. So really, I want to be able to tune it for when I get my short ram and possibly other things later.

a good forum to start at
You can always brick an ecu when flashing and thats not only limited to opensource. It works the same way with cobb ap. I bricked my ecu before but it was my own fault. Never turn the key off when flashing even if the tune fails midway.
