How it works

From your garage to our shop and back

Six steps, and only the ECU travels. Your order confirmation email has everything you need for steps three and four.

  1. 01

    Find your tune and order online

    Select your make, model and year to see the Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes and add-ons for your car, then check out securely. Your order confirmation email arrives as soon as your payment is confirmed.

  2. 02

    Remove your ECU

    Take the ECU out of your car — and your TCU or CPC too if your order includes those tunes. How it comes out differs from car to car; a local shop can remove and reinstall it for you if you’d rather not. Not sure? Call us before you order.

  3. 03

    Pack it with your printed confirmation

    Print your order confirmation email and pack it in the box with your ECU. Wrap each module in an anti-static bag or bubble wrap, with enough padding that nothing can move.

  4. 04

    Ship it to us

    Ship it with a tracked service to the address in your confirmation email; we recommend insuring it for the value of the module. You pay to ship it to us.

  5. 05

    We calibrate it

    Calibration turnaround is two business days, beginning when your ECU is received.

  6. 06

    We ship it back

    Plus Plus Calibration pays for return shipping to the return-shipping address on your order. Reinstall your ECU and enjoy the drive.

FAQ

Mail-in tuning questions

Removing, packing and shipping your ECU.

How does mail-in ECU tuning work?

You find your tune and order online from anywhere in the US, then remove your ECU and ship it to our shop with your printed order confirmation email. We calibrate it within two business days of receiving it and ship it back to you at our cost, ready to reinstall.

How long will my car be off the road?

Your car can't be driven while its ECU is out. Plan for the shipping time each way plus two business days of calibration, which begins when your ECU is received. A faster shipping service shortens the wait.

Do I need to send my TCU or CPC as well?

Only if your order includes a TCU or CPC tune; then ship that module in the same box as your ECU. Your order confirmation email lists every item to ship. Map switching needs nothing extra.

Do I have to remove the ECU myself?

For a mail-in tune we need the module itself, so it has to come out of the car. How that's done differs from car to car; if you'd rather not do it yourself, a local shop can remove and reinstall it for you. If you're unsure, call us before you order.

What if I lose my order confirmation email?

Contact us at (480) 400-8005 or [email protected] and we can resend it. The printed confirmation needs to be in the box with your ECU.

Should I insure the package?

We recommend it. Ship with a tracked service, insure the package for the value of the module, and keep your tracking number until your order is complete.

Who pays for shipping?

You pay to ship your ECU to Plus Plus Calibration. Plus Plus Calibration pays for return shipping to the return-shipping address on your order.

My car isn't listed. Can I still mail in my ECU?

Contact us with your year, make and model before you ship anything. Where a vehicle isn't in our online catalog, or needs custom Stage 2 development, we quote it directly.

Can I bring my car to your shop instead?

Yes. Phoenix-area owners can book an in-shop tune at 952 W Melinda Ln, Suite D. In-shop tunes include before-and-after dyno sheets and data logs, and most Stage 1 tunes are completed in a single day.
