Check vehicle and ECU compatibility before ordering.
A vehicle model in a list does not confirm every engine, ECU or software version. Use the actual identification and tool coverage to check whether the requested file work is available.

01
Collect the information that matters
Supply make, model, engine, ECU/TCU identification, software version and tool. Add the read method and hardware changes. These details help distinguish different control units within the same model range.
02
Confirm tool coverage and processing
Consult the tool provider for the supported protocol. Ask the file-service team to confirm the specific data and requested scope where availability is unclear. This page is guidance for that check, not a live compatibility guarantee.
Once the data and connection are established, select the base service and any additional options. Keep the same identification with the portal order and download.
Open a brand to see its model generations and available engine figures. These figures help prepare your enquiry; ECU identification and the original file remain necessary for the compatibility check.
The vehicle database gives your workshop a structured way to compare recorded stock and Stage 1 power and torque. Choose the brand, model generation and engine before interpreting a result. Similar names can cover different engines or software revisions, so keep the selected variant connected to the vehicle in the workshop. The displayed gain is a comparison of the listed figures, not a measurement taken from your customer's vehicle.
Use the result to begin the technical discussion. Record the engine specification and explain any hardware or software changes that make the vehicle different from its listed starting point. If the exact variant is missing, send an enquiry instead of borrowing the figures from a neighbouring entry with a similar name.
The controller check still comes before the file order
A model listing and an ECU compatibility check answer different questions. The listing helps identify a vehicle configuration and its reference figures. The controller check establishes which original software, tool route and requested service apply to the actual job. An engine badge on its own cannot settle that second question, particularly when a controller has been replaced or the software updated.
Supply the identification returned by the flash tool and keep it together with the source file. Where transmission software is requested, include the TCU identification as well. If the vehicle arrives with previous tuning, declare that history rather than assuming that its original factory specification still describes the data currently fitted.
Follow definition links as references, not promises
Some model pages link to DAMOS or MapPack catalogue entries where the recorded vehicle or chassis designation can be associated clearly. Those links make an enquiry easier to prepare; they do not establish that a definition matches every software version of that model. Send the original BIN or ORI with the ECU identification and the format you need.
The same care applies to Mapswitch references. Check the exact supported ECU variant and discuss the intended map sets. A related controller family or a shared vehicle name is not enough to promise a particular switching method. Where a dependable connection cannot be made, it is more useful to ask for a file check than to display a speculative compatibility claim.
The performance tables provide Stage 1 figures only. They should not be read as a forecast for a Stage 2 configuration, a transmission calibration or a different fuel and hardware combination. Projects outside the listed configuration need their own brief and technical assessment. Describe the actual components and the intended use instead of adding a fixed percentage to the database result.
For a standard enquiry, follow the portal link and attach the original data with the selected vehicle information. Check the current Stage 1 credit service on the price list, along with any separately requested work. Keep the reference figures in context with the condition of the vehicle and the checks your workshop will complete.
