The MQB platform allows ECU commonality with Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda. The factory calibration of Seat petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.
Within the VAG group, ECUs are standardised, so Seat files often work on VW/Audi/Skoda. The Seat community benefits from a large pool of Stage files drawn from the shared VAG catalogue.
