A Stage 2 file needs to account for the parts actually fitted to the vehicle. We develop ECU software from the original file, hardware specification and fuel details, then return the version for your order through the customer portal.

01
Start with the hardware specification
List the fitted components with manufacturer and specification where possible. Relevant changes may include the turbocharger, charge cooling, intake, exhaust or fuel system. The information and measurements needed depend on the engine and requested work. “Stage 2” alone defines neither a fixed parts list nor a power figure.

Order a Stage 2 file
The base price is €140.00 net / 1.4 Credits, including VMax Off. Upload the original software and ECU identification, and specify the tool, engine, hardware, fuel and target. Select additional functions separately. Extensive conversions may require an individual development order.
For a DSG or automatic vehicle, tell us which transmission software is installed. Torque requests and feedback between the ECU and TCU must suit the configuration. A Stage 2 engine file does not automatically include a transmission software modification.
Record the written file version, fuel and test conditions. Agree on the required log channels with the development team. Keep measurements and questions within the existing order so that any revision can be traced to its source.
Pops and bangs or switchable map sets are separate functions. Specify them before processing. Feasibility and intended use must suit the vehicle; software implementation does not replace any required approval.
The current base price is €140.00 net / 1.4 Credits, including VMax Off. Additional options are charged separately. The confirmed portal order applies.
How much power will a Stage 2 file produce?+
The result depends on the engine, hardware, fuel and vehicle condition. There is no single power increase for every vehicle. Discuss the setup, target and required measurements before ordering.

Replace the stage label with a hardware specification
Stage 2 is a useful way to identify a hardware-based enquiry, but it is not a complete component list. Record what is actually fitted and identify any parts that differ from the configuration described when the order was opened. A project with a changed turbocharger, intake or exhaust arrangement needs that actual specification rather than a generic parts package associated with the model.
Include the intended fuel and the customer's use of the vehicle. If the setup will change later, describe the present configuration first and discuss the later change separately. Development should not have to infer which parts are installed from a proposed power target or a photograph without supporting details.
Original-file identification is particularly important when a vehicle has already passed through several stages of modification. Declare previous tuning and explain whether the supplied file was read directly from the ECU or obtained through a supported virtual-read procedure. Retain the first data you obtained unchanged so the software history is not lost during the order.
An ECU family reference such as MED17 or MG1 is useful context, but include the full identification returned by the tool. The relevant software version, supported file format and hardware brief need to be assessed together. A familiar engine model does not make every file from that model interchangeable.
Choose a defined technical question before collecting new logs. Explain the condition being assessed and record the installed file, configuration and relevant measurement conditions. If development requests another observation, keep it tied to the existing project so the change between versions can be followed.
The vehicle database contains Stage 1 reference figures and should not be used to predict a Stage 2 result. Equally, an increased engine target does not establish whether transmission work is appropriate or what its scope should be. Discuss any TCU enquiry separately, using its own identification and the engine configuration that will actually be fitted.
