About Maestro 7 Tuning Suite

Maestro 7 Tuning Suite is a comprehensive tuning facility for late model Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche vehicles. The
Maestro Suite when combined with a Eurodyne flash file allows users to re-write the electronic engine controller base
tune, record or log the result of the changes made then edit the ECU binary based on the recorded log and re-flash the
ECU with the modified file. This operation can be repeated as many times as desired to fully optimize changes made to
the hardware you are using on your vehicle. Each file can be saved under a different name allowing the user to go back
to previous versions if so desired. Users can also deactivate the CEL for emission devices when preparing a vehicle for
off road use and save the file - to reactivate the CEL for on road use simply reload the original file.
The Maestro Editor contains many features that will assist you in getting the best possible performance from your
vehicle quickly and efficiently. Features like the Injector Wizard will allow you to switch between popular injector
sizes with a few clicks of the mouse. The Trace Histogram feature allows the Maestro user to view recorded map
correction activity and apply them simply by selecting the "apply histogram values" button - follow this link for a
how-to on this and other topics (http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=437) that will help you get the
most from your Eurodyne purchase.
It is important to note that the features provided by the Maestro Suite are impacted by the sophistication of the engine
controller being modified, please see the Maestro function table for more information on what to expect on your
specific application.

Tuning with Maestro 7

DISCLAIMER: It should be understood that ANY changes you make to your vehicles stock settings can harm your
vehicle and ALL changes are made at your own risk. The instructions provided to you here should only be used as
guidelines to tuning your vehicle.
It is also critical that all hardware and sensors are functioning at 100% before beginning to modify your cars ECU. We
recommend checking the function of O2 sensors, MAP and the Mass Air Flow Sensor (if equipped).
Step 1 Reflash your ECU with the license file provided to you in the registration e-mail as described Here
http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=174%20 in the How-To section.
Note: Maestro can ONLY use .csv log files created using the High Speed Logger. ***If you have an AEB engine with
an M3.8 ECU you will need to use the Maestro Logging feature in measuring blocks to create usable log files.***
Step 2 After downloading and installing all software and drivers ensure your Eurodyne cable is plugged into your
computer. Maestro 7 will only open if you have your authentic and registered Eurodyne Powertap cable connected.
Step 3 Open Maestro 7 and from the file menu load your base .tapp file. Be sure to choose the correct base file for
your hardware configuration. Each base file should provide you with a reliable configuration from which you can begin
your tuning. Save your .tapp file often under new file names to ensure you do not lose ground if you need to revert to
earlier settings.
Step 4 If you have changed your injectors since obtaining your base file, open the Injector Wizard from the Fuelling
menu on the left hand side of the screen to scale your injectors.

Select the size of your injectors from the dashboard of the injector wizard. When you click on your injector size your
new injector constant, fuel consumption constant and battery voltage compensation will be calculated and applied
automatically.

48

Injectors can also be scaled manually using the injector wizard by entering the stock vs. new fuel pressure and injector
size in the appropriate fields, then clicking Calculate
Step 5 Open your Fuelling and spark maps to ensure the axis and RPM range are within specifications for your
vehicle.
Note: Map descriptions can be opened either by right clicking on the map or by using the map description button at the
top of most map windows.

49

Step 6 Support for MAF-less configurations is available for some engine codes. If this option is available for your
application it will be found in the menu at the left hand side of the screen and you will need to decide whether you will
use a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or not.
Step 7 If you have already created a log file it should be loaded now. Changes to individual maps can be made
quickly and easily by using the map tracing and histogram functions of Maestro. ***The histogram will provide very
accurate feedback on which specific cells need to be modified, by highlighting and displaying the differences in map
values then applying them.***

If you have already tuned a specific range in the map you are editing, you may wish to clear cells from the histogram
before applying all values. This can be done by clicking and dragging to highlight cells, then right clicking and selecting

Step 8 Make any adjustments to LAMBDA target maps and adjust Rev limits to desired values.
Step 9 - Save any changes under a NEW file name and flash the new .tapp file to your ECU.
Note: If your car has an irregular idle, a Throttle Body Adaptation can be performed now as described here:
http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=191 This should be done periodically but is not required every
reflash.
Step 10 - Warm up your vehicle. To ensure you are obtaining the most accurate data it is extremely important your
logging and tuning are performed while the vehicle is at operating temperature in closed loop.
Step 11 Using the flash client, clear all fault codes. Most importantly this will zero your fuel trims and erase any
adaptations that have been made by the ECU.
Step 12 Create a new Log file as described here HERE http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=188
in the How To section of the Forums.
NOTE: While creating log files, attempt to cover as many different load settings as possible. The more complete your
log data is, the more complete and accurate your tune file will be.
Repeat steps 7-12 as many times as necessary.
Step 13 - Once you are satisfied with your initial tuning, timing and knock correction tables can be adjusted in small
increments as necessary.
Step 14 Finally, make any adjustments to Cold start and warm up maps.

Quick Tune
Re-Flashing the ECU can take 5 minutes or longer depending on your system. For quick changes, there are ECU
settings that can be modified through Eurodyne flash directly.
In Eurodyne Flash, click on "Read Settings". The Quick Tune menu will appear. If the ECU has a Big Turbo binary,
Switching Active will be checked off and the maps can be flipped between Low octane pump and High octane race
gas.

Once you have made changes in Quick Tune, you will be prompted to enter license key. If you have already entered
it, click Skip Key. You will be prompted to turn the ignition on. Turn the ignition on but do not start the car. Click the
Ignition is On button, and Quick Tune will close automatically after updating the binary on the ECU.
Note: Modifying your settings incorrectly can damage your car. Changes are made at your own risk.
