I'm more familiar with ECU tuning of Hondas back in the 90s but I know it is still going on.
I had my B5 Turbo Passat chipped with no other changes. I noticed the difference during a full throttle run as the left and right front tires took turns losing grip.
Pretty sure the easy diesel remaps are over in the US but, as usual, if know someone they can set up.
The most obvious ECU tuning currently is people adding Snap. Crackle, and Pop to their cars as the engine RPMs drop.
