TVS Custom ECU Software
Chiptuning has always been the core business of TVS Engineering. For over 20 years our high educated automotive engineers have optimized thousands of vehicles: from diesel engines to hybrids and from downsized gasoline engines to fully built race engines. Beside tuning of stock or lightly modified VAG vehicles, TVS is specialized in custom tuning for high performance applications. Since 2005 this started with complex engine software for R32 & R36 turbo- and supercharger upgrades and nowadays TVS Engineering is mainly focusing on developing software for the latest VAG vehicles.

TVS ECU Software Stages
Nowadays TVS Engineering is able to offer software solutions for every VAG engine application categorized into five different ECU software Stages! These are divided in different performance levels, supporting various fuel grades and are suitable for both with or without any hardware modifications.
- Stage I
- Stage II
- Stage II+
- Stage III
- Stage IV
TVS ECU Stage I software is the first small step into increased performance! It is characterized as a mild increase in power and torque and especially suitable for upgrading similar engines produced with different power outputs. TVS introduced this low budget solution to make TVS ECU software affordable for everyone!
- 100% Stock Engine
- Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
- TVS Custom ECU software Stage I
- Data analyzing and fine-tuning
- TVS optional ECU features included
- Engine modifications
- Dyno run and dynosheet
TVS ECU Stage II software is the first real step into increasing performance! Hereby maximum performance out of a stock engine setup will be achieved within all safety limits. Performance numbers are based on RON 98 fuel, but is available for different fuel grades as well.
- 100% Stock Engine
- Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
- TVS Custom ECU software Stage II
- Data analyzing and fine-tuning
- Dyno run and dynosheet
- TVS optional ECU features included
- Engine modifications
TVS ECU Stage II+ is characterized as maximum performance software for a modified engine setup. This upgrade requires at least a custom intake and high flow downpipe. Higher quality fuel grades are recommendable. Performance numbers may vary slightly depending on modifications and fuel grade.
- Modified engine setup
- Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
- TVS Custom ECU software Stage II+
- Data analyzing and fine-tuning
- Dyno run and dynosheet
- TVS optional ECU features included
- Engine modifications
TVS ECU Stage III is custom made software for a turbo- or supercharger upgrade! Due to our knowledge, experience and specialism in calibrating high power applications, TVS is nowadays able to deliver custom ECU software for almost every turbo- and supercharger upgrade. Performance numbers will give an estimation, for more detailed performance numbers please contact TVS with your setup or have a look at the project cars we did before!
- Turbo- or Supercharger upgrade
- Engine & Gearbox diagnostics
- TVS Custom ECU software Stage III
- Data analyzing and fine-tuning
- Dyno run and dynosheet

Temperature Protection
Next to increased performance, TVS enhanced engine cooling and oil temperature management keeps your engine within optimum and safe temperature limits for maximum performance, durability and realibility!
Improved Fuel Efficiency
Besides increasing performance, TVS is always focussing on several parameters related to fuel economy, especially while city driving or highway cruising. Depending on several factors such as driving style and fuel quality, improved fuel economy may be achieved.
Vehicle Speed Limiter
TVS is able to adjust or remove the vehicle speed limiter from your vehicle to any desired value.
Engine Rev Limiter
TVS is able to adjust or remove the engine speed limiter from your engine to any desired value.
Motorsport (Hard Cut) Rev Limiter
Most factory vehicles limit the engine power output before hitting the actual (hard) rev limit. TVS Motorsport rev limiter allows to reach the actual engine speed limiter without prelimiting the engine power output first. This way all the engine power stays available which allows better acceleration and a true motorsport experience.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) off
To prevent future EGR valve problems or malfunctions and internal engine pollution, TVS can properly close the EGR valve within the software and thereby disable the EGR function (Exhaust Gas Recirculation).
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) off
When removing the DPF from your vehicle it is important to disable the regeneration process of the diesel particulate filter correctly within the ECU software.
Lambda / O2 delete (decat)
When installing a decat downpipe it is important to carefully recalibrate the ECU software and optionally disable the function of the second lambda sensor located after the removed catalyst.
Exhaust Crackle / Pops & Bangs
For various gasoline ECU’s TVS developed exhaust crackle sound software also known as “Pops & Bangs”. This feature will add an outstanding crackle to your exhaust sound after lifting off the throttle, decelerating or while free revving at standstill.
Intake Swirl Flaps delete
When removing the intake swirl flaps it is important to disable the related swirl flap functions correctly within the ECU software to prevent associated fault codes.
Start/Stop OFF
For those of you that hate the Start/Stop technology TVS can fully deactivate this feature within the ECU software. For some models, reversing of the functionality is also available.
COD / ACT OFF
TVS is able to disable Cylinder on Demand (COD) / Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) within the ECU software.
Upgraded Injector calibration
TVS is able to recalibrate upgraded injectors properly within the ECU software for high performance vehicles for which factory injectors are not sufficient.
MAP Sensor scaling
TVS is able to recalibrate upgraded MAP sensors properly within the ECU software for high performance vehicles whereby the stock sensors cannot measure the requested boost pressure.
Match your Engine & DSG
The combination of our specialism in both engine and gearbox tuning is what makes TVS software unique. Developing both ECU and TCU software in-house gives us the ability to perfectly match your engine to the gearbox and vice versa! This results in an incredible driving experience which simply couldn’t be compared to individual purchased ECU and TCU tunes.
Another fact: every TVS ECU tune is specifically developed by our software engineers for your vehicle and provides maximum performance without sacrificing factory drivability or reliability. Often these factors are even improved!
All TVS ECU tunes are in-house developed and in addition worldwide tested through our authorized dealer network. This means TVS ECU tunes are able to increase performance of your vehicle to the maximum in all circumstances and different environmental conditions.
