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 recently had the Stage1 tuning service done on my 2016 Porsche Macan GTS, and the difference is incredible. The power boost to 410HP and 470 TQ really transforms the driving experience, making the car feel much more responsive. The team provided professional ECU programming and the setup was completely plug-and-play, which made installation straightforward. Shipping was also very reasonable, arriving faster than I expected.

I decided to try the Stage1 tuning service for my 2016 Porsche Macan GTS, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The increase to 410HP and 470 TQ made a huge difference in how the car responds, especially on those winding roads I love. Shipping was surprisingly quick and didn’t cost me an arm and a leg, which was a nice bonus. The team kept me in the loop the entire time, answering my questions promptly and making the whole process really smooth. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking to get more out of their Macan.
