MY ECU TUNING FILE SERVICE
You've got the read.
Let's talk files.
Need a tuning file for a job? Tell me about the car, the ECU, your original read and the result you're after. I'll show you what I need to get started.
A FEW EXAMPLES
What could your car
gain?
I check the exact vehicle, ECU and software before quoting a file. These figures show the kind of change the right calibration can make.

Indicative figures from the TuningBay gains catalogue. Results depend on the vehicle, fuel, hardware and condition; no figure is guaranteed.
Give me more
than a filename.
The original read is only part of a good file request. Tell me what car you have, which ECU you read, how you read it and what you want the file to do. My portal keeps those details and the file together with the job.
Keep your original.
Tell me which tool and method you used. Back up the untouched file before making changes.
What do you want from the file?
Describe the outcome you're after and anything the vehicle has already had done.
FROM READ TO RESULT
Here's how a file job
comes together.
Read the original.
Start with a supported read and keep an untouched copy of the original ECU file.
Tell me about the car.
The vehicle, ECU, tool and what you want from the file all belong with the request.
Send the job.
My file portal keeps the original, your notes and the reply together.
Write and check.
Follow the correct procedure for the vehicle, then check the result and keep your backup.
BEFORE YOU SEND A FILE
Questions?
Start here.
Can I send you a file now?
Yes. Open my file portal to start a job. Keep your original read and the car, ECU and tool details together with your request.
What do I need before I send a tuning file request?
Keep the original ECU read, car and ECU details, the tool and method you used, any hardware changes and what you want from the file. I'll need that context with the job.
Do I have to make the map myself?
No. That's where my file service can help. Reading the ECU, preparing a calibration and writing it back are different parts of the job. Tell me what you need from the file, and watch my channels if you want to see how the process fits together.
Can I learn ECU tuning with you?
Yes. You can watch my reads and tool videos on YouTube, catch shorter clips on TikTok and Instagram, and talk with the community on Discord. Start with the basics and always check the procedure for the exact vehicle and tool you use.
Do you tune cars at a workshop?
Right now I'm sharing my work online. I haven't announced an in-person workshop service. If that changes, I'll put the details on my channels.
