HP Tuners
Overview
HP Tuners allows the end user to edit the calibration tables in their ECU. You are provided a stock file when you first connect to a controller.
HP Tuners launched support for the Simos 18 in September of 2020. As of writing HP Tuners officially supports:
- 2013-2019 Golf GTI and Golf R 2.0 TFSI
- 2013-2019 Audi A3 and Audi S3 2.0 TFSI
- DQ250_0D9 6 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
- DQ250_02E 6 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
A 2017 Golf Sportwagen 1.8 TFSI has been successfully licensed and flashed, but is not listed on the HP Tuners support vehicles page.
Cost
HP Tuners purchase an MPVI2 cable starting at $299.99 and load the device with credits costing $50 each. Credits are spent the first time the user attempts to write a new controller and are locked to one specific controller by serial number. The controllers listed above cost 4 credits each.
Datalogging
While HP Tuners provides a datalogging component, it currently lacks loggable parameters that would make tuning a non-factory turbo possible.
User Defined Parameters
HP Tuners allows loading of a TunerPro .xdf file in order to edit tables and parameters that are not in the definition provided by HP Tuners. Definitions are specific to a controller’s software version so a definition file for the specific vehicle being worked on are extremely helpful. Enabling user defined parameters is an additional feature that costs $179.99. This is licensed to an MPVI2 cable and can be used on multiple controllers.
