The decision to change the engine control unit parameters in motorcycles is due to several reasons.
One of the main reasons is always the recalibration of the ECU after mechanical changes such as replacing the exhaust system with a more efficient one and installing sports air filters.
This type of work obviously leads to the need for electronic work due to the alteration of the bike's AFR, caused by the increased airflow in the intake and a faster exhaust gas flow.
But how can we intervene effectively to prevent potential problems and ensure the vehicle always operates at maximum efficiency?
First and foremost, one of the most important things is to understand the engine and all its operating parameters: this obviously allows for targeted interventions and appropriate boosts when necessary. Therefore, you'll need to understand the bike's carburetion and engine operating temperatures to create a mapping that's both high-performance and reliable over time.
Once this is known, the fuel injection, air charge, and timing maps can be adjusted. With the proper balance of boosts, performance can be maximized while keeping operating temperature and carburetion under control.

Diesel engine injection: A necessary in-depth study.
The latest and strictest anti-pollution regulations require manufacturers to adopt sophisticated systems to reduce harmful gas emissions. Those who drive vehicles with diesel engines, even the latest generation, have had to deal with some specific problems due to these developments, which you can easily solve with a good modification.
By increasing the amount of diesel and the torque delivered, combustion will need to be recalibrated and optimized to preserve the anti-pollution devices. Efficiency and performance are significantly improved, while reliability is maintained!
Working on the injection correction maps, the injection phase maps – in some cases the phase limiters – and the smoke limiters will bring benefits to your modification.
All parameters must be properly balanced: equipped with fuel detection tools, it will be necessary to anticipate the injection phase, partially cut the smoke limiters, and review fuel corrections.
Be careful how you make modifications! Excessive modifications can have serious consequences for the engine!
5-cylinder engines
One of the unique features of Volvo cars is undoubtedly their 5-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. It's precisely thanks to these unique engines, so unpopular in the automotive world, that Swedish vehicles today have a reputation for being good travelers, capable of covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers with very little maintenance!
This type of engine was first introduced in the 1970s, when Mercedes-Benz equipped its sedans with the OM617 series engine.
Since then, several manufacturers have begun to adopt this strategy: reduced dimensions compared to engines with 6 cylinders or more, but larger displacements than four-cylinder engines.
Many sports cars equipped with 5-cylinder engines have gone down in history thanks to their distinctive sound and performance. Just think of the Audi Quattro or Fiat Coupé, or, continuing with the Volvo theme, one of the first sports vans in history: the Volvo 850R (a car that even competed in the BTCC championship). As for diesel engines, we can't forget the Swedish 2.4 Diesel, one of the first diesel engines made of aluminum.
But what are the pros and cons of this particular architecture?
Without a doubt, one of the main advantages is the possibility of having a compact engine with a larger displacement: greater power and torque, in addition to a much more fluid and linear dosage compared to a 4-cylinder engine.
Having an odd-cylinder engine, however, leads to excessive vibrations, so it is necessary to adopt the "axis of rotation" to dampen oscillations that could lead to a sudden engine failure.

New driver update for the Bosch EDC17CP57 ECU installed in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Make your customers' driving experience personal!
Driver update for Titanium ECM on Bosch EDCE17CP57 Mercedes-Benz ECUs. Find out what you can achieve with the right maps!
Alientech
The Alientech team responsible for the Drivers update has focused on the Bosch EDC17CP57s installed in Mercedes-Benz Group vehicles. Discover what you can get thanks to ECM Titanium and the updated maps you'll find in Drivers!
BOSCH EDC17CP57
This management equips some of the vehicles with engines from the automotive manufacturer of the star, in particular the 3.0l and 2.2l diesel engines fitted in both commercial vehicles (Mercedes Class X and Sprinter) and cars (Mercedes Class E, ML, GLC, GLE, etc.). Both engines, in keeping with Mercedes tradition, are designed for long distances, maintaining an excellent compromise between reliability, performance and efficiency.
Thanks to ECM, it is possible to make these engines even more efficient and effective by intervening in the management of torque, injection, and boost pressures and the rail.
Below is an example of the maps that can be modified:
ENGINE TORQUE (torque monitoring, required engine torque, torque limiters)
INJECTION SYSTEM (injected diesel fuel, smoke limiters, injection phase)
AIR CONTROL (Exhaust Gas Temperature)
TURBO (turbo pressure limiter, turbo pressure, variable geometry control)
RAIL (rail pressure, rail pressure limiter)
Driver for ECM Titanium
BOSCH EDC17CP57
ENGINE TORQUE
In engine torque management, it is possible to intervene on parameters relating to engine and motor torque required by the driver. Using the maximum torque limiter maps, it is possible to increase the maximum torque the engine can deliver based on certain factors (gear, temperature, atmospheric pressure).
If, on the other hand, you want to make the car more responsive to the accelerator pedal, you'll need to work on the torque maps. These maps, based on how much I press the accelerator pedal, allow me to determine the torque the engine needs.
All this increase in torque, combined with other changes in fuel and turbo boost pressure, can lead to a problem related to torque monitoring. In fact, many modern systems require deactivating a specific map to avoid recovery issues: torque monitoring. Resetting this map to zero will inhibit the control function that the ECU performs during operation, thus preventing vehicle problems.
INJECTION SYSTEM
For good performance, diesel engines need to provide an adequate supply of fuel to the combustion chamber, so you'll need to adjust the fuel injection quantity maps to ensure the engine requires a greater fuel input during acceleration.
In addition to quantity, the fuel quantity limiters must also be adjusted to set a maximum amount of fuel to be injected. By adjusting the limiters, it is then possible to establish a desired amount of fuel injected, in some cases also based on factors that may affect vehicle performance. Without a doubt, one of the most important factors is temperature: the higher the amount of diesel injected, the higher the engine temperatures.
A final function, related to diesel injection, is the Smoke Limiter. Particularly on vehicles with particulate filters, this map is especially useful for preserving it as much as possible. On the contrary, it severely limits the injected fuel and therefore also the vehicle's performance. Reducing the Lambda values or increasing the diesel quantity values in the relevant maps can reduce this limitation. But be careful: operating on these maps can cause the carburetor to become too heavy and potentially clog the DPF!
A final function, related to the injected fuel, is related to the Smoke Limiter. Particularly on vehicles equipped with a DPF, this map is particularly useful in order to preserve it as much as possible. On the other hand, however, it greatly limits how much fuel to inject and consequently also the performance of the vehicle. By reducing the lambda values or increasing the diesel quantity values in the relative maps, it is possible to reduce this limitation. But be careful: operating on these maps it is possible that the carburetion becomes too rich and can clog the Particulate filter!
AIR CONTROL (discharge gas temperature – EGT)
EGT management maps are very useful for preserving engine reliability and preventing the possibility of breakdowns due to excessive exhaust gas temperatures. However, in general, the development engineers kept the original maps well below the maximum temperature the engine can withstand.
During tuning, it's usually helpful to intervene and increase the EGT limiters by a few dozen degrees to prevent the car from going into overdrive. Modern engines, due to anti-pollution systems, often tend to overheat, and even minimal increases in the fuel map can cause protection. Be careful not to raise this threshold too much: if the EGT increases too much, it could lead to engine failure.
TURBO PRESSURE
By working with the boost pressure maps and the related turbo boost pressure limiters, you can adjust the desired boost pressure. On the one hand, this allows for increased engine performance, and on the other, it allows you to balance the amount of diesel injected with an appropriate boost. Of course, it's always good to know how far you can increase turbo boost pressure to avoid turbocharger failure.
RAIL
In rail pressure management, diesel fuel pressure can be adjusted. Generally, these vehicles' rail pressure is between 1,600 and 1,800 bar: a small percentage of additional pressure can be added, which improves engine thrust. It is generally advisable not to over-increase the pressure, as the high-pressure pump would easily break.
EGR DEACTIVATION (NOT FOR ROAD USE!)
Deactivating the EGR inhibits the exhaust gas recirculation valve. This valve extracts partially unburned exhaust gases and reintroduces them into the intake manifold, thereby reducing NOx emissions. Deactivating the EGR results in cleaner intake air and greater engine efficiency.

ENGINE TORQUE CONTROL
The monitoring map is useful in this case to disable the ECU's control of engine performance. This map is generally set to 0 to prevent the ECU from detecting abnormalities and sending the engine into recovery mode when accelerating.
ENGINE TORQUE LIMITER f(ECT)
Many modifications include maps that limit performance based on certain factors (exhaust gas temperature, coolant temperature, oil temperature, etc.). Generally, to create a safer modification, it's helpful to increase these maps to a temperature threshold we believe may be critical for the engine. However, for a successful modification, it's important to raise these maps; otherwise, the vehicle, once it reaches operating temperature or just above, will begin to operate as if it were stock.
ENGINE TORQUE REQUEST
Especially in diesel engines, this map is very important because it improves accelerator pedal response. Modifying this map is very useful because by adjusting the engine torque parameters, we can make the engine and accelerator pedal much more responsive, improving driving performance and amplifying the sensation of increased vehicle performance.
INJECTION PHASE
Generally, when working on fuel management in diesel engines, it's very useful to also work on the injection phase. This map manages the angle before TDC, at which point the injector should begin injecting diesel into the combustion chamber.
By anticipating the injection phase, we can increase the amount of fuel injected, thereby improving performance in terms of torque and power delivered by the engine.
TURBO PRESSURE
These maps manage the target pressure the supercharger must reach. By increasing these maps, along with the maps that manage engine torque on diesel, it's possible to significantly increase vehicle performance. But be careful: it's best not to increase these maps too much, as this can easily compromise the proper functioning of the turbocharger.
EGR
This map allows you to eliminate the EGR valve. Disabling this valve will generally prevent the intake of some exhaust gases. One of the benefits you may notice by disabling this valve is certainly an increase in engine power at low revs.

BOSCH MG1CS024
Toyota Supra A90. Presented at the Detroit Motor Show in 2019, this is the fifth generation of the Japanese coupe that, thanks to the collaboration with BMW, was able to maintain its characteristic architecture: a longitudinal 6-cylinder turbocharged engine and rear-wheel drive only. Despite being based on the BMW Z4, engineers from Toyota's sports car department, Gazoo Racing, have been able to fine-tune the suspension setup, giving this car a completely different character from its Bavarian sister.
The engine, also sourced from BMW, is a 3.0-liter with 340 hp and 500 Nm, delivered by a single twin-scroll turbocharger and an air-to-water intercooler integrated into the intake manifold to reduce air volumes between the turbocharger and cylinders. Thanks to this and other technologies applied to this engine, the new Supra A90 is capable of reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in just 4.3 seconds using launch control mode, and can easily be pushed up to 250 km/h, at which speed the speed limiter intervenes.
Thanks to ECM, you can further improve the performance of this vehicle: by intervening on the parameters of torque, turbocharging, fuel injection, timing, and regulation, you can unlock the potential of this excellent engine, making the driving experience even more unique and exciting.

MINIMUM ANTICIPATION
Definitely the most effective way to give a vehicle a more characterful sound. By modifying these maps, you can control how many degrees beyond TDC the engine's spark plug fires under any given condition. By inserting a negative value in the area that manages the launch phase, you can make the car perform the Pop & Bang effect.
ENGINE LOAD LIMITER
Using this map, you manage engine load, or the amount of air drawn in. It's typically modified by increasing turbo boost pressure.
TURBO PRESSURE
Using turbo pressure maps, you can manage the vehicle's boost pressure. The higher the pressure, the greater the air flow, and thus the ability to inject fuel while maintaining proper carburetion. Obviously, excessive increases in boost pressure cannot be achieved, as this could lead to turbocharger failure or, worse, engine failure.
ENGINE TORQUE LIMITERS AND ENGINE TORQUE REQUEST
Using torque maps, you can manage how much torque the engine can deliver. Using limiters, you can manage the maximum torque the engine can deliver.
Using the required torque maps, we can define how sensitive the accelerator pedal should be. This allows us to adapt the accelerator to the customer's needs, making driving better and more personalized!
INJECTION
The fuel injection maps are very important, especially in turbocharged engines. A carburetion error can seriously damage the engine!
Using fuel injection maps, you can define how much fuel to inject based on factors such as air flow rate, engine temperature, or how much the accelerator pedal is pressed. Setting the correct AFR in the ECU can achieve excellent performance results!

BOSCH ME7.9.10
The ME7.9.10 engine equips the Fiat Group's small 1.4-liter 16V engines, both turbocharged and naturally aspirated: an example? The racy little Abarth 500 and its bigger sister, the Abarth Grande Punto, in all trim levels and power levels, but also compact sedans like the Fiat Bravo or Lancia Delta, equipped with 1.4-liter T-Jet engines with 120 or 150 hp.
Thanks to the upgrade the driver team has focused on, it is now possible to maximize the performance of this small engine, either by keeping its original mechanics or by making mechanical modifications such as turbochargers, injectors, or other components, such as:

SCALING INJECTORS
For these small engines, the selection of mechanical modifications is truly extensive, and good fuel flow to the engine is essential for proper tuning. This is precisely why many tuners replace the original injectors with larger ones. Using voltage-dependent injector offset maps and real-time fuel mass conversion, you can correctly calibrate the new injectors installed on your car to optimize your car's fuel injection and carburetion performance!
SCALING OF MAF AND MAP SENSORS
When you go further with power and pressure, it's necessary to replace the engine's original sensors with more efficient ones. Using maps corresponding to the scaling, offset, and voltages of the MAP and MAF sensors, it will be possible, depending on the specification of the installed sensor, to scale them and ensure they communicate correctly with the ECU. Correct information sent to the ECU by the sensors allows for better engine performance!
LAMBDA DEACTIVATION - FOR TRACK USE ONLY!
For track use, a more efficient exhaust system is often adopted, starting with the catalytic converter, which is replaced with a direct downpipe or metallic sport catalytic converters. These components reduce back pressure and exhaust gas temperatures, allowing for a further increase in engine performance! For these components to work properly with the engine, it is often necessary to disable the downpipe of this anti-pollution system, to avoid errors in the ECU and this annoying indicator that indicates a fault with the engine running.
ADAPTING IMPROVED TURBOCHARGERS
For those wishing to install upgraded turbochargers, maps are required to run the car properly, even with completely different airflows from turbines other than the original. Using the DutyCycle Wastegate and Compressor Efficiency maps, in addition to all the maps related to this type of modification, it's possible to efficiently adapt the newly installed component!
POP&BANG
Now very popular and in demand by many sports car owners, Pop&Bang is a modification that can hardly be avoided during the modification phase. Using maps that manage fuel cut-off at launch, cut-off activation delay time, and cut-off activation, and through maps that manage centralization delay (base map advance), optimal engine advance, and minimum advance, you can configure Pop&Bang with maximum precision based on your needs!

BOSCH ME17.3.0
Thanks to its versatility and to the quantity of preparations that are made on this engine, during the massive update phase, the focus of the Drivers development team was in particular on the management maps of the injection cut-off in release, rescaling of sensors and injectors and much more.
INJECTOR CONVERSION
There is an option to manage injectors specifically in the "Real-Time Fuel Mass Conversion Injection" and "Voltage-Dependent Injector Offset" maps. These two maps provide the engine management with accurate information about how many cc of fuel the installed injector can inject at a given fuel system pressure. This will allow us to properly manage increased injectors when installed in the vehicle (in the case of Stage 2 or higher).
SENSOR SCALING
One of the most common modifications to less powerful T-Jet engines equipped with IHI turbochargers is the installation of sensors from the more powerful versions equipped with Garrett turbines (T-map, T-Boost, and Pierburg). This allows the ECU to read parameters with a wider range, thus allowing even greater vehicle performance.
Thanks to the MAF and MAP sensor scaling maps and the relevant thresholds, it will be possible to correctly operate the new sensors installed in the engine!
COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
In the case of turbocharger replacement, it will be possible to work on "compressor efficiency" and "Wastegate Duty Cycle" maps (in addition to, of course, other turbo and air charge management maps present in the driver) in order to reduce air flows and allow the engine to run properly.
POP&BANG
Pop&Bang is particularly in demand on smaller Abarths. Thanks to the maps included in the ME17.3.0 drivers, it will be possible to enable this function and manage it with maximum precision! By working on the launch overrun activation maps and the minimum lead time maps, we will have the opportunity to activate Pop&Bang at a specific engine speed threshold, temperature threshold, and for a specific period of time. We have found that the best results are obtained by working on the "launch cut-off activation delay time" maps and the "minimum lead time," "base map lead time," and "optimal engine lead time" maps.
Using the cut-off activation timing maps, you can define the engine rpm, temperature, and fuel cut-off time. With advance maps, you can define the engine rpm and the volume of the pop-and-bang. The greater the angle beyond TDC, the greater the volume of the exhaust bursts (of course, remember that the original catalytic converter could be damaged!).
Note: Among the maps that manage the cut-off activation delay, there is also a map that depends on the rpm and catalyst temperature. We believe this map is very important in order to preserve the original catalyst, as it gives us the opportunity to inhibit Pop&Bang beyond a certain catalyst temperature.

During the massive update phase of these drivers, the focus was particularly on the Pop&Bang maps and some other maps.
MAXIMUM/MINIMUM DIFFERENCE FOR TOO HIGH/LOW ENGINE LOAD
These are two control maps related to a turbocharger protection threshold, cutting off the pressure in order to prevent overpressure in the intake manifold.
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE FOR TURBINE PROTECTION
It is the maximum temperature difference above a set threshold of maximum turbine temperature, beyond which turbine protection is activated.
TURBO PRESSURE LIMITER FOR LAUNCH CONTROL MODE
It is a map that handles the pressure objective when Launch Control mode is active.
POP&BANG
To achieve the Burble effect on the driver, there are specific maps that allow you to modify all the factors related to Pop & Bang (duration, volume, connection delay and change bursts).
The main maps that need to be played for Pop & Bang to work properly are the minimum lead maps.
With these maps, depending on the lag angle, you'll be able to control the volume of the exhaust bursts: the more you lag the lag angle, the louder the vehicle will be. Obviously, you need to work on the throttle release area (high rpm and low loads).
Following the Drivers update, an activation has also been implemented that allows you to choose the driving mode to keep Pop & Bang active depending on the value set on this single-point map.
In general, the Pop & Bang increases the temperature of the catalytic converter and the turbine, so to protect these components, a map has also been introduced that is nothing more than a reduction factor in the duration of the burble effect, depending on the temperature of the catalytic converter.
As the temperature rises, this map will reduce the effect, eventually shutting it off, to allow the components to cool. Less risk of unpleasant issues!

New Bosch EDC17CP54 driver update. New maps that will lead to even better results!
Driver ECM Titanium upgrade for Bosch EDC17CP54 installed in VAG Group vehicles. Make your driving experience extraordinary!
The Alientech team responsible for updating drivers has focused on the Bosch EDC17CP54 installed in Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
The ECU involved is:
BOSCH EDC17CP54
In addition to the standard maps useful for significantly increasing the performance of these ECUs, we present some specific maps that will lead to even better results.

Driver for ECM Titanium
BOSCH EDC17CP54
The special functions that can be modified using the new updated drivers for BOSCH EDC17CP54 are as follows:
TORQUE LIMITER (APS)
This is a map that manages torque limitation based on the absolute pressure sensor. Based on the pressure values detected by the sensor and engine speed, the ECU corrects the maximum torque delivered by the engine to maintain optimal operating conditions (carburetion, turbocharging, etc.).
By increasing these maps, the benefits in terms of engine torque gains are significant, if modified in conjunction with the other parameters present in the ECM driver. Thanks to the introduction of fuel cut-off maps, it is possible to delay the intervention of this function to obtain the explosive effect (pop and bang) when the accelerator is released.
ENGINE TORQUE
It is the map that manages the engine response and consequently the torque supplied based on the pressure of the accelerator pedal.
This map is usually modified to make the throttle more responsive, resulting in improved engine response even at low revs. This is undoubtedly a great way to make the driving experience better and more engaging.
EGR - Track Use
The EGR management map is used to deactivate the exhaust gas recirculation valve. By bringing this map to 0, this function is disabled, totally excluding the exhaust gases from the intake manifold. In terms of benefits, the engine runs at lower temperatures and less particulate deposits are created in the manifold and intake ports.
EGT
The increase in performance, and subsequently fuel injection, undoubtedly leads to an increase in exhaust gas temperatures. Most vehicles have maps that manage engine protection in the event of very high EGTs, but these will often be set to values below a critical temperature threshold at which recovery is initiated;
During the modification, we suggest raising this threshold in order to avoid annoying engine recoveries, in case of more extreme modifications.
INJECTION CORRECTION
The map manages certain parameters, such as fuel temperature and intake air temperature, and how to correct the injected fuel to control engine parameters and temperatures. Generally, during modification, by appropriately adjusting the injected fuel management maps, you can choose to "deactivate" these corrections and set them to a value of 1. This is because the value shown in this map is simply a correction value multiplied by the injected diesel values, removing or adding fuel as needed.

BOSCH MED17.5.21 and MED17.5.25
The special functions that can be modified using the new updated drivers for MED17.5.21 and MED17.5.25 are as follows:
POPS & BANGS
Thanks to the introduction of short-fuel management maps, it is possible to delay the intervention of this function to obtain the effect of explosions (pop and bang) when releasing the accelerator.
In addition to delaying fuel cut-off, it's necessary to work on the anticipation maps to achieve the best possible effect. For this reason, all the necessary maps for this category are now available to drivers:
REV LIMITERS
In addition to the standard maps that allow the rev limiter to be increased, the possibility of working on the rev limiter for stationary vehicles (when the vehicle is stopped) has also been added, which is set to a very low value for anti-pollution. This map also works on vehicles with automatic transmission (the limiter in this case is active when the transmission is in position D or N).
DEACTIVATIONS
These maps allow the installation of a direct discharge system (without catalyst) avoiding the appearance of DTCs and spy/engine failure.

Engine torque control
The map manages the torque calculation that the ECU performs to protect the transmission and the engine.
By setting this map to 0, it is possible to disable this control to prevent the car from going into recovery due to the increased amount of diesel injected and engine torque supplied.
Exhaust gas temperature map
This map allows you to manage the maximum protection threshold for exhaust components (DPF, catalytic converter, manifolds, usually data collected from the temperature sensor present in the DPF)
By increasing the amount of diesel injected and then slightly enriching the carburetor, you end up with a situation where exhaust temperatures rise. Consequently, it's necessary to increase this value to prevent the car from bouncing back due to excessive temperatures.
Engine torque correction
These are torque corrections that the ECU makes based on certain conditions and values detected by the sensors.
In the specific case of the maps present in the driver, we have a torque correction based on the intake air temperature and one based on the absolute pressure detected by the APS sensor.
Why does the ECU adopt these corrections? Reducing torque values also reduces the amount of fuel injected, which will consequently reduce the EGT and turbo boost pressure, reducing turbo boost pressure and thus avoiding potential mechanical problems.
In the case of correction based on the absolute pressure detected by the APS sensor, this is to keep the engine injection parameters under control again: depending on the atmospheric pressure, with the same injected fuel, I will have a richer or leaner mixture, depending on whether the pressure is higher or lower.
Maximum power limiter
These ECUs manage the maximum power delivered by the engine. This is a calculation the ECU makes based on several factors (engine torque, fuel injection, etc.). This is an important map for achieving good results during the modification phase.

Engine torque control
In most modern diesel engines, it is necessary to modify this map and disable the torque calculation control, which the ECU performs to protect the engine and gearbox components.
By setting this map to 0, it is possible to disable this control when the vehicle is in use, eliminating annoying vehicle recalls and possible malfunctions.
Exhaust gas temperature map
This map allows you to manage exhaust gas temperature to protect the DPF and turbocharger from possible overheating and resulting shaft failure.
This is a protection map that, if the ECU detects a temperature higher than the one set in this map, sends the car to protection to cool the engine.
Generally, with production cars, this issue never arises, but when modifying engine parameters—turbo boost pressure and fuel quantity—it will be necessary to raise the maximum temperature threshold to prevent recoil.
Note: The problem manifests itself after a long journey with the engine running at medium or high speed, since, in diesel engines, a greater amount of fuel injected corresponds to a higher exhaust gas temperature – unlike gasoline engines, which tend to have lower temperatures.
EGR valve
The EGR valve is a component that, electronically controlled by the ECU, takes a portion of the exhaust gases emitted by the engine and reinserts them into the intake tract after being properly cooled by a heat exchanger. The goal? To reduce carbon monoxide (NOx) emissions at the exhaust end.
The map in this case can be seen as an EGR valve intervention end threshold: above a certain torque, the valve will remain closed.
The exclusion of this valve, however, brings advantages in terms of torque at low revs and facilitates the recovery phases, also keeping the vehicle's intake system cleaner – combustion gases are generally returned after the turbocharger, if taken before the DPF, and above if taken after the DPF.
Engine torque correction
In these engine management systems, it is possible, through specific maps, such as engine correction, to alter the way the torque is influenced according to certain parameters detected by the ECU.
In this case, the map will reduce the engine's input torque as the intake air temperature increases, in order to keep operating temperatures under control. The value displayed in the map is a factor that will be multiplied by the delivered torque value. Therefore, if the value is set to 1, the torque will be reduced; if the value is set to 1, the torque will be increased. If the value is set to 1, the ECU will not make any changes to the torque.
As far as the Continental SID307 ECU is concerned, the maps are very similar and the latest updates have been aimed specifically at including the maps already described for the Continental SID310 ECU.

Ignition maps
The ignition maps or ignition advance manage the ignition angle, or how many degrees before top dead center (TDC) the spark plugs should fire.
Having full control of the ignition, thanks to these maps, it is possible to delay deceleration in the deceleration phase, to activate the pop & bang.
Speed limiters
Speed limiter maps contain the values in km/h (miles per hour) at which the vehicle's speed is limited. When a certain speed is reached, the fuel cut-off is activated to prevent the vehicle from exceeding it.
The maps inside have different values depending on the enabled configuration of the vehicle based on the type of your application (for example commercial vehicles or an AMG sports car) increasing the desired values to remove the limitation.
Lambda sensor
With this map, it is possible to deactivate the monitoring of the catalyst efficiency lambda probe in order to install a direct exhaust line system.
Overrun Injection
Using the “rpm threshold and deceleration cut-off activation time” maps in combination with the ignition maps, it is possible to generate the famous “Pops and bangs” explosions.
Thanks to these maps, it is possible to regulate the function based on the customer's preference, varying the "cut-off" function and adjusting the ignition angle during deceleration to obtain a louder or softer sound.

Drivers Update VAG TEMIC TCU: DQ200, DQ250, DQ500 and DL501
ECM Titanium Drivers Update for VAG Group TEMIC TCUs.
The Alientech team developing drivers for ECM Titanium has updated the list of available maps for the TEMIC files present in VAG group TCUS.
The TCUS involved are:
TEMIC DQ200 CXX
TEMIC DQ250 CXX, EXX, FXX
TEMIC DQ500
TEMIC DL501
By reprogramming the gearbox management files, vehicle performance will be significantly improved and the driving experience even more personalized. Your customers will be increasingly satisfied.
The available parameters, common among TCUS models, introduced with the recent update are:
OIL PRESSURE
TIMES OF CHANGE
GEAR SHIFT
LAUNCH CONTROL
However, within each driver, you will find a map and a specific description for the TCU type.
Driver for ECM Titanium
TEMIC DQ200
Shift times (km/h)
In situations where a gear shift is not planned at RPM, the TCU includes a gear shift point management map based on speed. The operating principle is the same as for shifting gears, but in this case, the TCU uses speed as a reference to shift up or down. The map in question has slightly "specific" axes:
- On the axis of the rows we have the passage of marches from 1st to 7th and after 7th to 1st
- On the column axis we have the percentage of the accelerator.
In this case, each row can be considered a separate map; we must modify each one independently.
Launch Control
This map manages the maximum RPM that the engine reaches when the Launch Control mode is activated from a standstill.
Generally, in VAG group vehicles, this mode is only activated when the gear is in “S” or sport mode, and traction control is deactivated.
If you fully press the brake pedal and a message appears on the display indicating that Launch Control mode is active.
Oil pressure
These are the maps that manage the oil pressure acting on the clutch. These maps typically serve to increase clutch pressure and prevent clutch slippage.
Driver for ECM Titanium
TEMIC DQ250 CXX, EXX, FXX
For the DQ250 gearboxes, it's useful to make a brief distinction between the Cxx and Exx/Fxx gearbox families. These two systems are two different generations: although the gearbox is structurally identical, the mechatronics that manage the gear shifting are different.
In the case of the Cxx, we have older mechatronics (Golf MK5 generation up to 2010), while in the case of the Exx/Fxx, we have updated mechatronics (Golf MK6 generation). Although they have similar names, they vary significantly in terms of SW management.
Note: for the TCU TEMIC DQ250 EXX/FXX gearboxes, the FASTOFF function is also present, which we present in more detail in the section dedicated to the TEMIC DL501.
Gear shifting
These are the maps that manage the gear changes (upshifting and downshifting) depending on the driving mode.
By modifying these maps, it is possible to alter the speed at which the upshift or downshift is performed based on the torque provided by the TCU and the accelerator pedal pressure.
We notice that the percentage is above 100% since the Kickdown function is included in this map.
Driver for ECM Titanium
TEMIC DQ500
Times of Change
These are the maps that manage the shift times between one gear and another in different driving modes.
The maps work based on the accelerator pressure and the gear engaged, resulting in a specific shift time in milliseconds.
Reducing this time will result in a faster, though less comfortable, shift. Of course, in Sport mode, it will be even faster.
Driver for ECM Titanium
TEMIC DL501
FastOFF
Some calibrations include "FastOff" management: this function is activated when you suddenly stop accelerating and then press the accelerator pedal. Modifying this map, by increasing it, serves to reduce the RPM drop caused by FastOff and consequently improves throttle response under acceleration conditions.
Maximum number of Launch Control
In some calibrations, we've also included the maximum number of launch controls that can be performed before the function is disabled. This is to protect the transmission and its components from possible breakage caused by the high stresses generated by Launch Control.
