Hey folks. I've been looking into this MPGuino thing and scangauge, and I'm wondering something. Can you use a PC to OBD interface to adjust the settings of your ECU? Tell it to run lean and all that? Obviously you'd only want to make small changes to the existing settings, otherwise you could screw things up like crazy!

Is this possible?
