Volkswagen is the parent company of the VAG group (Audi, Skoda, Seat, Cupra, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ducati). The VW community is one of the most active in the world for chip tuning. VW shares its ECUs and calibration algorithms with Audi. The VW community is one of the most open in Europe, with a large library of ready-made Stage files. TGI is VW's designation for natural-gas (CNG) engines.
ECUs are standardised across VAG, so a single file often fits a dozen different models. The VW community offers a large library of ready-made Stage files for mainstream models.
