Maestro does not have the full 130 or so maps that the Bosch unit needs for a full tune.
I think it is around 30-40 or so if I recall.
It has the user ability to tweak but it has its limitations. That is another market that needs to be fleshed out....custom.tunes.
Found the RAI thread mentioned above http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43510
Lou, looks like RAI is doing exactly what you're asking for....
if you plan on custom tuning then this is worth looking into

Actuator is pointless without the file. I'm not trying to custom tune myself, I want an aggressive k04 file. That is it. I'm not trying to use lemmiwinks, Maestro, or any other self tuner for that matter. I just want the big names to let me know what they have in the way of higher output files.

Yeah, RAI wants a 700 for the software and then another grand for a custom tune. I'd rather not, Zhijjawi blew a turbo on the first go round with them. Apparently they lack the skill to correctly tune with Maestro. No thanks.
Why not contact THEM? Just a shot in the dark.
Did, Arin gave me zero response.
Did, Arin gave me a lame response. Said it would take some data logging. Probably would take less time and make more people happy then creating FMIC feud threads.
When? Give him some time.
Contact Evan, or Bronson, or Joel, or Doug, or Chad, or Ryan....they all can help you out.
Contact Todd@AWE or Will
EDIT: Saw you Nija Edit. Its worth a shot, if you're willing.
I figured this thread would bring it to their attention. I really want to stick with APR as I believe they can provide me with the best file, but I'm open to other suggestions. However, I want to open dialogue with the guys at APR as they are pretty vocal on the boards and I like that.
