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 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The whole process was straightforward thanks to their professional ECU programming service, which made installation a breeze. Right from the start, their team was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions quickly and keeping me in the loop about the progress. Once the tune was applied, the increase in power and torque was noticeable immediately, giving the car a much sportier feel without compromising drivability. Shipping was also very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a fantastic upgrade that’s well worth it.

I recently had the Stage1 tuning service done on my 2019 Porsche Panamera 4S, and the difference is incredible. The power bump to 530 HP and 625 TQ really transformed how the car feels on the road. What impressed me most was how smoothly the whole process went—they handled the ECU programming professionally, and installation was basically plug-and-play. Shipping was surprisingly quick and didn’t cost a fortune, which made the entire experience even better. I’m genuinely thrilled with the performance boost and would recommend this tuning service to anyone looking to get more out of their Panamera.
