Is it possible to use the system that Vishnu created for reading ethanol content on a flash tuner like say Cobb?

I would love to be able to use 93/e85/e60/e20 what ever I could find and have the ECU adjust.... I just don't want to sell my Cobb :c

It's nice to have but not necessary, as even Shiv himself pointed out.

if you can do some very rough calc in your head sa to what is in the tank, the DME will do the rest.

Of course, you won't tune for the most aggressive setup possible, but you'd still get a significant bump. Also if you happen to run 93 alone, then you'll switch back in 90 seconds (slightly inconvenient probably but not to bad). That's what I did for almost a year.

Afraid not, you would need to find an empty aux port for the sensor, or unplug something else to use the slot, no one has really messed around like that with a sensor yet.
