VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune Volkswagen Beetle 1.8L Turbo A5 170HP

VR Tuned offers an ECU flash for your Volkswagen Beetle A5 1.8L Turbo. With our ECU tune, you are able to gain improved performance on the engine. The biggest difference when you flash your car is the overall improvement of the power curve. Your car will have much better throttle response all the way to redline. Where your car is sluggish off the line, your newly flashed car picks up right away and pulls harder through the mid and top end RPM range.

How to Flash Your ECU?

• Use the Alientech Powergate 3+ handheld device. This device is a touchscreen module that lets you store your original and tuned files to easily flash between them. See Instructions Here.
• Use the DimSport handheld device. This REQUIRES a Windows PC.  You can flash between these at anytime.  See Instructions Here.
• Bring your vehicle to our facility where we can use our Master Cable to flash your vehicle.

Options:

• You can select to get both Stages of our Tune.  The Stage 2 is usually for those looking to maximize the performance of their vehicle.  Though not required unless stated, this is usually for those running a performance exhaust and at least 91-93 octane fuel. Can only be done if OBDII flashing is available.

For reference, this ECU is a SIMOS 18.
