Overview

2011–2016 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L E78 Engine Tuning is a custom remote-tuning service developed around the specific vehicle rather than a generic off-the-shelf calibration.

We review the vehicle configuration, modifications, supporting hardware, fuel requirements, and intended use, then tailor the calibration to the actual combination. The remote-tuning process allows vehicle data to be reviewed so drivability, throttle response, and overall engine behavior can be matched to the vehicle's actual setup.

Why Choose The Tune Shop?

The Tune Shop is built around personalized, one-on-one service rather than a one-size-fits-all calibration. We take the time to understand your vehicle, its modifications, how it is used, and what you expect from the finished tune. Our calibrations are developed with real-world street use in mind and refined around the vehicle's actual combination, with the goal of delivering smooth drivability, predictable response, and strong performance across normal daily driving and spirited use.

Tuning Options

Base Tune

A custom calibration developed for your specific vehicle configuration, supported modifications, fuel, and intended use. Base Tune provides the initial custom calibration without the complete datalog-based remote tuning and revision process included with Remote Tune.

Remote Tune

Our complete remote-tuning service. Your calibration is developed around the vehicle's actual combination and refined using requested datalogs and calibration revisions as reasonably necessary to complete the initial tuning process.

Remote Forced Induction Tune

Our complete remote-tuning service for applicable aftermarket or substantially modified forced-induction combinations. This option includes calibration development, requested datalog review, and revisions appropriate for the supported turbocharged or supercharged combination.
