InstaTuner
7 Articles
What vehicles does InstaTuner support?
InstaTuner supports thousands of petrol and diesel ECUs with automatic detection. Just upload the original file.
Does InstaTuner adjust timing, boost and torque automatically?
Yes, all parameters are calculated automatically using our Stage 1 logic.
Do I need tuning experience?
No. InstaTuner is beginner-friendly and fully automatic.
Does InstaTuner include deletes (DPF/EGR/O2)?
No. It only performs Stage 1 power optimization.
Does it correct checksum?
Yes, checksum is automatically corrected for supported ECUs.
Can InstaTuner brick my ECU?
Only if flashing is interrupted. The generated file is safe.
Do you store my files?
Yes, lifetime backup is included.
Pops&Bangs/Hardcut Software Petrol
6 Articles
What does Petrol.exe modify?
It adds pops, bangs, crackle, burble and hardcut depending on ECU type.
Do pops work on every petrol engine?
No, only engines with suitable ignition strategies support pops.
Why must I touch the accelerator for pops?
Pops need 1–2% throttle during decel, otherwise fuel cut disables them.
Can I choose pop intensity?
Yes: soft, medium or aggressive.
Does checksum get fixed?
Yes.
Can pops damage catalytic converters?
Aggressive settings can damage old catalysts; use responsibly.
Diesel Hardcut
4 Articles
What does the hardcut do?
It makes a fuel-cut rev limiter that creates popcorn sound.
Which ECUs are supported?
Works on EDC15/16/17, Delphi and some Siemens.
Is this safe for the turbo?
Safe if RPM is reasonable. Excess RPM stresses turbo.
Does it include deletes?
No, hardcut only.
DPF Remover
3 Articles
Does this fully disable DPF?
Yes. Regeneration, soot loading and pressure logic are removed.
Do I unplug sensors?
Most ECUs require unplugging the pressure sensor.
Will DTCs come back?
No. All DPF codes are patched.
EGR Remover
2 Articles
Does this close the valve?
Yes. Valve logic and DTCs are removed.
Must I block the pipe?
Some engines require it physically; software will indicate.
AdBlue Remover
2 Articles
What does SCR off disable?
Pump, NOx sensors, dosing, tank module, DTCs, full SCR logic.
Must I unplug the pump?
Yes, after writing the file.
Lambda OFF
2 Articles
Which sensors are disabled?
Secondary O2 (post-cat). Primary sensor remains active.
Does it support OPF/GPF cars?
Yes, for many MED17/MD1/MG1 ECUs.
DTC Remover
3 Articles
Which codes are supported?
P/U/C codes depending on ECU.
Can I remove many codes at once?
Yes. Full list supported.
Is DTC removal risky?
It hides issues if misused. Diagnose first.
TCU Tuning
3 Articles
What does TCU tuning improve?
Shift speed, pressure, torque limits, launch control.
Which gearboxes are supported?
DSG6, DSG7, DL501, ZF 6HP/8HP, Aisin.
Is flashing TCU safe?
Safe if voltage is stable.
IMMO Off
3 Articles
What is IMMO off?
Removes immobilizer authentication.
Is it reversible?
Yes. Original IMMO data can be restored.
Does it affect keys or dash?
No, only ECU logic.
ECU Cloning
3 Articles
What is ECU cloning?
Copies flash, EEPROM and sometimes OTP.
Do part numbers need to match?
Yes, hardware/software must match.
Is checksum handled?
Yes.
VIN Changer
2 Articles
What does this tool do?
Modifies VIN in ECU memory.
Will the dash update?
Only if the dash is recoded separately.
Checksum Tool
3 Articles
What is checksum?
A validation signature for ECU integrity.
Why must it be fixed?
ECU will reject wrong checksum and may not start.
Which ECUs are supported?
Most Bosch/Siemens/Delphi/Marelli.
CHKSuite
10 Articles
What is CHKSuite?
CHKSuite is a checksum correction engine designed to automatically detect and fix checksum blocks in ECU and TCU firmware files.
Which checksum types does CHKSuite support?
It supports multiple architectures including Bosch MED/ME, EDC15/16/17, MG1/MD1, Siemens/Continental, Delphi, Magneti Marelli and more.
Do I need to select the ECU type manually?
No. CHKSuite auto-detects the ECU family and applies the correct checksum module automatically.
Can CHKSuite fix partial file edits?
Yes. It scans only the modified blocks and recalculates the necessary segments without altering untouched areas.
Can it correct both flash and EEPROM?
Yes. CHKSuite supports flash, EEPROM, and in some ECUs OTP-mirrored checksum structures.
Is CHKSuite safe for all tuning tools?
Yes. Files corrected with CHKSuite are compatible with KESS, K-TAG, Flex, Autotuner, BitBox, CMD, PCMFlash and similar tools.
Does CHKSuite verify checksum after repair?
Yes, it performs a double-validation pass to ensure file integrity before export.
Can CHKSuite recover a corrupted checksum?
Yes, as long as the original structure is intact. Heavily corrupted files may require the original file for reference.
Does it support batch processing?
Yes. You can drop multiple files and CHKSuite will auto-process them one by one.
Does CHKSuite modify maps?
No. CHKSuite only fixes checksum blocks and does not alter map data or tuning values.
Swirl Flaps
2 Articles
Does this disable actuator logic?
Yes. Position sensor + actuator logic removed.
Should I remove flaps physically?
Recommended for engines prone to failure.
MAF Off
2 Articles
Why disable MAF?
For big turbos, large intakes or failed sensors.
Does conversion require wiring?
Sometimes yes. Software-only conversion also available.
FlexFuel
