Tuning files
Your read,our calibration.
You read the ECU, we adjust the software for exactly that engine and that hardware. Every file is made by hand and checked before it is ready in your account.
01Stages
Choose your stage
How much we can get out of an engine depends on what has been changed on it. Tell us the hardware with every request and we tune the file to match.
Stage 1
Software on stock hardware
For a car without modifications. We optimise boost, injection, ignition and torque limits, within the margins of the engine, clutch and gearbox.
What we needThe original read and the details of the car.
Stage 2
For upgraded hardware
For an engine with, for example, a larger intercooler, a different intake or a sports exhaust with catalytic converter. The file takes the extra airflow and cooling into account.
What we needA list of every change to the engine and exhaust.
Stage 3
Custom work for big builds
A bigger turbo, other injectors or a stronger fuel pump: then we take the calibration further. It takes more time, so we agree on it with you first.
What we needThe full specifications of the hardware.
02Transmission
DSG, TCU and automatic
More torque needs a gearbox that can keep up. With adjusted transmission software we raise the torque limit, speed up gear changes and match the shift behaviour to the new power. Here too we work with stage 1, 2 and 3.
Possible on the transmission
- 01Custom shift points
- 02Clutch pressure
- 03Pull-away behaviour
- 04Launch rpm
- 05Kick-down off
- 06Automatic upshift off
- 07Gear indicator
03Vehicles
Not only passenger cars
Besides passenger cars we make files for commercial and working vehicles, and for engines that are used differently from the average.
Trucks
More pulling power and steadier fuel use under heavy load.
Agricultural
Tractors and farm machines: more torque at low rpm, for long and heavy work.
Motorcycles
Calibrations for motorcycles, with attention to throttle response and smooth power delivery.
Boats
Software for marine engines, set up for long periods at high load.
Diesel
More torque and smoother power delivery, also when towing or fully loaded.
Hybrid
We tune the combustion engine without upsetting how it works with the electric motor.
Motorhomes
Heavy and often loaded: we focus on low-down torque and relaxed driving.
E85 / flex fuel
Software for running on bioethanol, when the engine and fuel system can handle it.
04Extra options
Extra options
You can add options to every file. What they cost in credits is on the pricing page.
Driving
- Launch controlMaximum traction when pulling away from a standstill.
- Rev limiterRaise or lower the maximum engine speed.
- Idle speedA higher or steadier idle.
- Rev limit in neutralCaps engine speed while the car is standing still.
- Cold and hot startMore reliable starts with a cold or a hot engine.
- Start/stop off by defaultThe car starts without the start/stop system active.
- Top speed limitA maximum speed of your choice, for example for company vehicles.
- Cylinder deactivation offThe engine always runs on all cylinders.
- Performance gauge BMW, Mini and VAGPower and torque in the display match the new software again.
Calibration
- MAF and MAP scalingSensor values matched to a different intake or sensor.
- Injector scalingNeeded after fitting larger injectors.
- Oil pressureOil pressure control set up for the way the car is used.
- Water pump and cooling fanCooling that switches on earlier or harder.
- Thermal managementAdjust the engine’s temperature control.
- Active grilleSet when the air flaps in the grille open.
Software
- Checksum correctionEvery file gets a correct checksum, so the ECU accepts it.
- Back to stockWe prepare the original software for writing back.
- File reviewWe check an existing file for errors and risks.
- Fault code analysisWe look at the stored fault codes before changing anything.

06Quality
What you can count on
The original is kept
Your original read stays safe in your account. Going back to stock is always possible.
Made to measure, not from a list
Every file is made for that one engine, with the hardware and wishes you give us.
Developed on the dyno
We develop and refine our calibrations on our own dyno in Westerbork.
Correct checksum
Every file goes back to your account with a corrected checksum.
Adjustments at no extra cost
If something is not right after writing, we adjust the file without new credits.
Credits back if it cannot be done
If we cannot make a file, your credits go back to your balance.

Master or slave?
With a master tool you receive an open file that you can view yourself. A slave tool is linked to a tuner’s master: you get the file back encrypted, ready to write.
