Better performance and economy for your vehicle

Software Tuning (Re-flashing) vs. separate control modules (ECU)
The passion of any professional engine adjuster is to achieve the best result from the engine. It may be the maximum strength, but it can also be economy and durability. This does not mean that when the engine rolls off the factory line, all the work is done. Different climates, necessities, superstructures are some examples of why this is done. Modifying cars is always about improving, refining and personalizing.
There are literally hundreds of ways on the market to tune your engine, basically they all try to do the same thing, but the difference is in experience and technical capabilities.
There are several options for setting up the motor, but there are generally two options: “re-flashing”, ie setting up the original control module of the motor, another option is to install a new separate control module. Let's explain what they mean: "Re-flashing" or "chip-tuning" in popular parlance means that if the factory control module tables (maps) have been decoded and there is software to tune it in a similar way as the factory engineers do. As long as the factory control module is used, there is no need to cut or modify the wiring - this in turn simplifies the work and keeps costs low.
Many ask, is there any risk or danger to the engine? Of course, it is and therefore must be chosen companies that have long experience, insurance and the ability to avoid problems. Always ask for a guarantee of the work done and, if possible, of the measurement and test results.
Pros and cons
For many popular cars, both solutions may be possible - a “re-flash” of the factory control module or a separate control module. So which is the best and which one should you choose? There is no single clear answer here. You can often achieve a similar result with both options, which is even more confusing. Many people think that one manufacturer's control module can produce more power than another. In fact, this is not the case. If you use the same amount of fuel and the same ignition timing for both, the result is the same - there is nothing mysterious here. The key to choice lies in understanding the pros and cons of one or the other. There are control modules that can do more or are more comfortable for the tuner, with good technical support and image. However, in principle, we recommend that you choose the device according to the tuner's recommendations, as he can offer you the final price and guarantee the quality of the whole set. Since the right setup and control module is the key to the success of the whole project, we recommend focusing on researching the background and experience of the setup instead of choosing the module.
If you are looking for an affordable solution, then tuning the factory control module may be just for you. Tuning can usually be done with a special cable via OBD-II. The maps are read from the control module, the necessary changes are made and they are written back to the control module. In general, this can be done on cars that were manufactured between 2000 and later. It should be noted here that the factory control modules of all cars cannot be configured.
Older wiring modules had a major drawback in the construction of the factory wiring module, but today the area is being developed very widely, and there are knowledgeable people, companies, who have been able to hack the factory control module code and add features and new settings. Here we are talking about adding a turbo to the free-breathing engine, “Flat shifting”, various settings (maps), “flex-fuel”, etc. With the factory control module, you can achieve so much if it is in the right hands. For example, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo has achieved more than 1,000 horsepower wheels using the original control module.
