Custom ECU calibration for every major European platform. Stage 1, Stage 2, and full Stage 3 builds validated on our Australian-built Dynotech AWD dynamometer. Real power, real results, developed entirely in-house at CADE Technologies.
Every CADE tune is developed in-house on our Australian-built Dynotech AWD dynamometer. We don't buy off-the-shelf tunes and rebrand them — every calibration is written by our engineers specifically for the platform, tested to failure, and refined for real-world reliability on Australian fuels and conditions.
Our Stage 1 tunes extract every ounce of power from factory hardware by rewriting boost, fuel, ignition, and torque-request maps. Stage 2 adds bolt-on hardware — downpipes, intakes, intercoolers — paired with a more aggressive calibration. Stage 3 builds involve forged internals, turbo upgrades, and complete supporting modifications for maximum output.
Every tune includes a before-and-after dyno report so you can see exactly what you paid for. Tunes are flashed via OBD using our proprietary CADE-FLASH platform, and we keep a backup of your stock file so you can revert to factory at any time.
Three tiers to suit your goals, budget, and hardware. Every tune includes dyno validation and a full tune report.
Software-only ECU remap. Optimises factory hardware for +10–25% power gain. Ideal daily driver tune.
Bolt-on hardware + aggressive calibration. +25–40% power. Most popular option for performance enthusiasts.
Full built-motor territory. Forged internals, turbo upgrades, and race-spec supporting mods. +50–100% power.
Every platform is supported by our in-house calibration library. Over 3,000 vehicle variants in the CADE file portal.
A methodical, transparent process that produces real results.
We discuss your goals, current mods, and preferred fuel. Every tune starts with a conversation — no cookie-cutter flashes.
Stock baseline measured on our Dynotech AWD dyno. Documents your starting point before any changes are made.
ECU and TCU maps rewritten by our engineers. Boost, fuel, ignition, torque-request and safety limits all tailored to your car.
Final dyno pulls, road test, log review. You receive a full before/after report and your stock file is archived.
Stage 1 gains vary by platform. Typical results: Mercedes C63S W205 +60hp / +120Nm, BMW M3 Competition G80 +130hp / +250Nm, Audi RS3 +80hp / +100Nm, Golf R Mk8 +80hp / +100Nm. Every tune is dyno-validated at CADE on our Dynotech AWD dynamometer.
Tuning may affect the powertrain portion of your warranty. We can return the vehicle to fully stock software before any warranty visit. Check with your insurer about modification disclosure — we provide dyno sheets and tune documentation for insurance purposes.
Both. We primarily tune on 98 RON pump fuel which is widely available across Adelaide. E85 tunes are available for vehicles with compatible fuel systems and deliver additional power. Flex-fuel tunes that switch between 98 and E85 are also supported on select platforms.
Stage 1 OBD tunes typically require half a day. Stage 2 with hardware installation takes 1–2 days. Full Stage 3 builds with forged internals or turbo upgrades take 1–3 weeks depending on parts availability and scope of work.
Yes. We keep a backup of your original calibration for every client and can restore stock software at any time. Typical cost is $150 for a restore flash.
Stage 1 is software-only — an ECU remap optimising boost, fuel, and ignition on factory hardware. Stage 2 adds bolt-on hardware such as downpipes, intake, and intercooler upgrades paired with a more aggressive calibration. Stage 3 involves forged internals, turbo upgrades, and full supporting modifications for maximum output.
