3 Different Methods for Tuning a Car [4k]
There’s a few different ways that people can tune their car. Piggyback ECU’s, Flash Tuning, or Standalone tuning. I’ve found that a lot of people don’t know the difference between these methods and the benefits or drawbacks of each choice. So we decided to make this video in partnership with Cobb to explain the 3 primary methods that people use to tune their cars. Hope you enjoy!

how to overclock your car
I had the JB1 on my 2016 Golf R and loved it! Amazing power and George from Burger Motorsports was a joy to work with. I now have their JB4 on my 2019 Type-R and its even better thanks to the bluetooth functionality with their app. You can monitor several digital gauges, data log and switch maps on the fly…it’s phenomenal and best part again is there is no flash or checksum file left behind on your factory ECU ;b Cobb is a great option too but their OST maps are really prevalent to knock, at least on the Subaru and Evo platform. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go for this route.
Bruh my man is a tuner but he has a check engine light
My boy got MD tags 💯
I admit it I’m a boring bastard. Always keep it stock and we’ll maintained. Please no hate mail. Really go above 2000 RPM. Not being married all my sympathy goes to my car.
Came here because I also have an Escort ZX2.
Can you tune a car with a automatic transmission with out any upgrades to the car
Nice video quick question I have a 2013 old gen with APR stage 2 with AWE track back and was thinking going APR stage 3 but a lot of people are saying get the APR bigger turbo but go with a different tune to get more options and power can you give me some suggestions thanks
Will piggyback ECUs affect we car warranties?
I was looking how to get my engine tuned, as in getting the engine running normal, and i find this… Now I’m going to turn my impala into a ricer 😂
Dang, dude. You gained some serious weight from this video. Be careful. Health is everything.
how simple everything is on the video .. but I’m afraid that if I start repeating it all myself, I’ll stay buzz the car )))))
Literally no tuning for my jetta. Called a place and they have a tune for it. $600 for 11hp
What’s best for my 02 vw jetta with the 2.8 glx vr6 engine? I want more take off, more boost and more power. Mine is not the turbo. But will be turb boosted in 2 months. What’s best for me to use right now so I can bring to a shop to get it done? I currently have straight headers, straight pipe and cold air intake. Not much of anything but I want more out of my beefy engine
I just bought a 2017 Toyota tundra
I know what is a lot of people in the states are getting their vehicles tuned by professional tuner for around $450
The other option is I can buy a bully dog like everybody else
Or something like an HP tuner
Is the bully dog good enough
😊 What am I trying to do I’m just trying to make the vehicle run smoother improve miles per gallon and shifting points
so what do you recommend on a 2013 porsche panamera s v8? not turbo just v8
Dude sounded like Obama! I’d like to buy him a beer. Lol
Tuning more accessible now?
More accessible than the hand tools used to tune back then?
Any idea on the suspension/ wheel spacer setup on that R. It looks perfect.
can you tune a dodge dart with any of those
If I were to put a cool air intake in would my ecu not correct itslef.

What about carbs you genius ?
I have got in this website some good cables for chiptuning or mileages correction, for "On-board" writing/copy, and worked pretty good, have a look below:

I have a cold air intake and catback exhaust. Can I tune it myself with just a laptop and some software? I mean the mods ain’t much but it’s certainly taking in air and dispersing exhaust on a level the ECU wasn’t programmed to, so a tune will bring out the most of what I have. I just wish I knew more.
Can I get a stage 2 Unitronic tune with APR parts that require you to go stage 2?
5:08 lol how convenient to throw in the name of your sponsor…….
Muaoc is wayyy to loud
2 question from Italy 🇮🇹
First one:
I’m not sure of that, but in all these case you can only modify the ECU changing the code with a new pre-written code and you can’t access at single parameters changing them as you want wright?
Second one
How can you be sure that the mechanic contest is robust enough to support the increase of power ?
Ive been looking everywhere for a video like this, ive asked around no one will share any kind of info this topic.
That background music is kinda too loud. Too distracting. Info is fairly thin, could use a bit more explaining of the whys and wheres.
God I really want to learn about cars but I’m stuck at the bottom and I don’t know where to start ☹️
does the cobb work for any car or are cobbs build to certain cars cause i see online that theres specific car brand names on sum of the accessports
Does anyone know where i can get a flashtune?
My first car was a Ford escort ’98 blue smoking 🔥
if any one has some knowledge about 2011-2013 hyundai sonata gls give me some insight for tunes!
Thxxx
Tuning the car is not a simple task. Having specialized knowledge is required the most for obtaining the best results from the vehicle. Help from the experienced one will serve the best purpose. I’ve chip tuned my car from Tuningfileshop, they tuned my car instantly and quickly with ultimate results.
Thank you so much. So hard to find tuning for dummies videos
Great video, I was actually searching for tuning methods as in street tuning vs dyno tuning, etc. Are you planning on making such a video? Thanks!
Does tuning void your vehicle’s warranty? Does it also impact reliability? Thinking of doing this to my Nissan 370Z
anyone has any ideas on how/where to tune a 5 cyl passat b7. i found a few companies that tune it although they barely have any gain
