Stage 1 ECU/ECM Tuning Service – FixECM
Unlock Power • Improve Response • Enhance Driving Experience
What Is Stage 1 Tuning?
Stage 1 tuning is a software-only ECU/ECM remap designed to safely increase your engine’s power and torque without requiring any mechanical upgrades.
This upgrade focuses on optimizing factory parameters such as:
Boost pressure
Ignition timing
Fuel delivery
Throttle response
Torque limits
Air/fuel ratios
Speed limiter & rev limiter adjustments
Manufacturers leave a large amount of “hidden power” inside the ECU for reliability margins, emissions limits, and global market conditions.
Stage 1 tuning safely unlocks this potential.
What Is an ECU/ECM Remap?
An ECU (Engine Control Unit) or ECM (Engine Control Module) remap means rewriting and optimizing the original calibration file inside your vehicle’s computer.
FixECM modifies the OEM software to:
✔ Increase horsepower & torque
✔ Improve throttle response
✔ Remove factory restrictions
✔ Optimize fuel and timing maps
✔ Enable smoother, stronger acceleration
✔ Reduce turbo lag
✔ Improve fuel economy under normal driving
This is not a cheap “OBD-flash tool tune.”
FixECM performs full read → remap → checksum correction → bench test for maximum reliability.
How Much Power Will Stage 1 Add?
Power gains vary by engine, but typical Stage 1 increases:
Turbocharged Gas Engines:
✔ +35–70 HP
✔ +50–120 TQ
Turbocharged Diesel Engines:
✔ +40–90 HP
✔ +70–160 TQ
Naturally Aspirated Engines:
✔ +8–20 HP
✔ +10–25 TQ
Every tune is custom built for your specific ECU, not a universal file.

I was really impressed with how much power this Stage1 tuning added to my 2017 Audi A5 2.0T. The install was straightforward and truly plug-and-play, so I had no issues getting everything set up. After the tune, the car feels much more responsive, and the extra torque definitely makes city and highway driving more enjoyable. Customer support was helpful and quick to answer my questions, which made the whole experience smooth.

I was a bit hesitant at first about getting my 2015 Audi A5 tuned, but this Stage1 service completely transformed my driving experience. The increase in horsepower and torque is noticeable right away, making the car feel way more responsive without losing the smoothness I love. Installation was straightforward—I managed to get it done in under an hour with no glitches. Plus, the support team was really helpful when I had a couple of questions during setup. Overall, it’s a fantastic upgrade for anyone wanting a bit more excitement out of their A5.
After installing the 2012-2020 Audi A5 2.0T Stage1 tuning, I honestly can’t believe the difference it made. The power boost to 285HP and 345TQ gives the car a much livelier feel, especially during highway merges and quick accelerations. The whole process was plug-and-play, so I didn’t have to fuss with complicated programming or tools. I appreciated how quickly the product arrived
