On pre-2017 Fiat models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. Within Stellantis, ECUs are standardised across platforms, so some files work on Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot. The Fiat community in Italy offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files for compacts and the Ducato. Mid-range Fiat engines are a high-volume chip tuning subject. The Fiat community in Southern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files.
