Terms like "tuning," "chip tuning," and many others, often mentioned by individuals from various parts of the world, refer to the same process: remapping the software present in the ECU (electronic control unit) of a car. Numerous software components compose an ECU, which interfaces with various parts of an internal combustion engine and functions automatically as the central nervous system of the entire system.
By adjusting its parameters, you can significantly change the dynamics of the vehicle, increase its output, enhance the throttle response speed of the engine, and incorporate subtle features like pop and bang and launch control. It can also remove DPF and EGR from the system in an electronic way, optimize engine performance after catalyst removal, adjust gearbox function, and much more.
Yes, as long as your car is in proper working order and meets OEM safety limits. This is when it becomes essential to purchase chiptune files from trustworthy tuners with access to support in real time. One indicator that an engine tuner understands the limitations of OEM parts is whether they offer Stage 3 upgrades. Stage 3 tuners are also capable of creating excellent tuning files for Stages 1 and 2.
Yes, they do. Many models of the same car have the same engine but give slightly different power. The software usually makes the difference. Manufacturers clearly intend to have a gap in voltage to power up with special edition models, which are sold at a high price.
Secondly, after a facelift, a number of cars retain their engines but have somewhat higher performance. Software enhancement often achieves this increase.
Lastly, most of them market their automobiles internationally. This implies that they must take into account the unfavorable fuel quality in various regions where they sell their vehicles. Therefore, many automobiles sold in global markets will undergo tuning to prevent damage from poor fuel. The same applies to various types of emissions controls. The market with controlled fuel quality or less strict emissions regulations has a lot of room to improve.
Our service offers tuning files, typically taking 10 to 20 minutes to finish a file. To begin with, you need to forward the original file to us, which normally takes about 15 minutes. After we send you the tuned file, you need to install it, which again takes around 10 minutes. Some tuning took longer than usual due to personal preferences or special projects.
Yes, most vehicles are able to be reverted back to their original file (stock).
Yes, this is indeed the case. Although it may sound contradictory, tuning can accomplish both goals simultaneously. The reason for this is that as torque increases, the car requires less throttle to reach its target speed more quickly, and it also requires less throttle to maintain a constant speed. But in order to gain the most fuel-saving advantages, one must try to maintain their driving habits as much as possible after tuning. This is often easier said than done, as many drivers tend to benefit from the extra power and end up driving more aggressively, a common occurrence in the few months following the tuning.
The tuning files offered by Ecu-chiptuningfiles are compatible with virtually all the brands and models around the world. We are also able to tune a considerable number of motorcycles, marine craft, agricultural equipment, trucks/lorries, etc.
Look for the model you need in our database. If you can't find what you're interested in, register or log in to our portal and let us know what you need. We can provide you with the required service in the majority of cases.
Yes, we offer Super Mappacks/Damos/Funktionsrahmen, Please contact us if you need these.
Yes, indeed, we have a collection of ‘on the shelf’ original ECU files and sgo,frf files, which you can buy from us and use on your vehicle. Just upload your ID or readout. If you're unable to upload your ID or readout, you can find the information about your car on our file upload page. Please refrain from emailing us the original files related to your car during this process. Always remember to use our file upload page for all informants in the future.
Nevertheless, if you are also ordering a tuning file, most of the time we are able to send you the original free of charge. If you require a VAG file, please remember to provide the 4-digit software update number. For example: 03L906023NQ_8002
Providing direct, real-time support to our customers is the pride of our service. Our engineers are available for communication via WhatsApp or Skype; email support is also available, as well as a ticket system in the tuners portal.
Using original and reliable tuning tools is essential for good tuning.
The slave tuning tools are limited to reading the existing software in the ECU and uploading it back to the ECU. Such instruments are not able to change the content of the file; they serve only for reading and recording. This is why they are significantly cheaper. Master tools are more expensive than slave tools, but this difference is justified because master tools provide access to the adjustable portion of the ECU file, which necessitates file changes.

We shall mend that. Just contact us through one of the support options stated above, and we shall resolve any problem you may be having. If there are no solutions for your specific case, we will reimburse your credits, allowing you to use them for any future project.
Yes, for the most part, all of them have been dyno-tested and road-tested as well. Ecu-chiptuning files clients are spread across the world, so we have had our share of customer feedback. All our files have gone through real-life tests and are properly fine-tuned.
Yes, we have vast experience with various special projects and requests, such as Stage 3 and competitive applications. Just keep in mind that the time frame for completing such projects is usually longer.
Original files are usually accepted. In case you do not have the original file, please inform us in the drop-down area of the upload screen, and we will check what we can offer you.
It all depends on the particular tool you use to tune the system. Some tools perform checksum correction. Should your tool not carry out checksum correction, kindly inform us on the file upload page, and we will do it on your behalf.
