Stage 1 Chiptuning
Unlock the hidden potential
Pure software optimisation without hardware modifications. The most effective way to instantly extract more power, torque and driving pleasure from your engine.
What is Stage 1?
Software optimisation at the highest level
Stage 1 chiptuning is the first and most popular step in performance optimisation. By rewriting the factory ECU (Engine Control Unit) software, parameters for fuel injection, turbo pressure, ignition timing and air-to-fuel ratio are optimised.
Car manufacturers program their ECUs with conservative settings to account for fuel quality, climate differences and service intervals around the world. In the Netherlands, with high-grade Euro 95/98 fuel and well-maintained cars, there is significant room for safe optimisation.
At Saint Performance every tuning file is written specifically for your car. No generic software solutions, but bespoke calibration tailored to the exact hardware configuration and condition of your engine.
