I'm sure this question has been asked, but not able to find through the search. But how do i go about flashing the computer for my manual boost controller. Does it work like the honda where you disconnect the battery, reconnect, then let idle. Let me know. Just can't find it on the search

your friendly sleepy vw driver

It used to be that disconnecting the negative terminal for 5-30min (depending on manufac) would "flash" the computer, these days though all it does is reset the adaptive strategy (real-time learning and adjustments) for new hardware you will probably have to have the dealership flash it.
