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 2009 BMW M3, and I’m beyond impressed with the results. The car feels so much more responsive, and the power boost to 440 HP is definitely noticeable on the road. What stood out to me was how professional the programming service was—they took care of everything with a plug-and-play setup, making installation a breeze. The team also kept me informed throughout the process, answering all my questions promptly, which gave me a lot of confidence in their work. Overall, a smooth experience from start to finish, and the car runs better than ever.

I recently had the Stage1 tuning service done on my 2010 BMW M3 4.0 V8, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was incredibly communicative, answering all my questions promptly and keeping me in the loop throughout the process. The installation was straightforward thanks to their professional programming service, which meant no headaches or guesswork on my end. Once tuned, the power delivery is smooth, and I can definitely feel the boost in horsepower and torque on every drive. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a reliable performance upgrade without the hassle.
