Understanding diesel tuning
Today’s diesel engines rely heavily on their onboard computers, known as Engine Control Units (ECUs), which manage critical functions like fuel delivery, turbo boost and throttle response.
Diesel tuning means recalibrating your ECU’s software to adjust these parameters precisely. By doing this, we can enhance fuel injection timing, safely raise turbo boost levels, and sharpen throttle responsiveness. The result is a vehicle that gives you more power, greater fuel efficiency and a noticeably smoother drive tailored to your needs.
At Willy’s Workshop, we offer a range of specialist tuning services designed to unlock the full potential of your vehicle.
Multi-mapping
Easily switch between multiple tuning profiles tailored to different driving scenarios, ensuring optimal performance wherever you take your diesel.
Model Upgrades
Enhance your engine’s capabilities with custom parts and software upgrades engineered specifically for your vehicle’s make and model.
ECU Remapping
Recalibrate your engine’s control unit to increase power output, optimise fuel consumption and deliver quicker throttle response.
Transmission Tuning

Took my truck mercedes actros MP5 to get things resolved.
Couldn't be happier with the service.
They went above and beyond, spent extra time
making sure everything was perfect before
handing it back. You can tell the team at willys workshop sunshine, really cares
about doing things properly, not rushing it
out the door.

through, explained what he was doing and
kept me updated. Truck runs smoother and
stronger than ever - drives like a

FAQs
Got questions about our diesel tuning in Brisbane? From city commuters to highway haulers, we’ve tuned all kinds of rigs across South East Queensland. Here are a few common questions we get asked.
Can you tune my diesel for Brisbane traffic conditions?
You bet! We can adjust your tune for quicker throttle response and smoother low-speed performance, perfect for navigating stop-start traffic through places like Milton, Fortitude Valley, or the Gateway Motorway at peak hour.
Will tuning help my ute handle weekend trips or longer drives around Brisbane?
For sure. Whether you’re heading off-road, climbing hills, or just cruising out of town for the weekend, a custom diesel tune gives you stronger torque, better throttle control, and smoother pulling power. It makes your ute feel more capable and confident, wherever the road (or track) takes you.
Is a diesel tune safe for towing around South East Queensland?
Yes, when done right. We focus on torque where it counts, especially for those hauling trailers, boats or caravans to destinations like the Sunshine Coast or Somerset. Your gearbox and engine work in sync, so you’re never straining on the climb or lagging on take-off.
Can you adjust the tune if I drive both for work and weekend getaways?
No problem. We customise every tune to suit how you actually use your vehicle — whether that’s weekday site visits across Brisbane’s industrial areas or long weekend escapes through the hinterland. It’s this real-world approach that makes our diesel tuning Brisbane service a go-to for drivers who need flexibility without compromise.
Do I need a re-tune if I install upgrades later on?
Absolutely. If you’ve added mods like a high-flow exhaust, upgraded intercooler, intake, or even a snorkel, your original tune won’t be fully optimised for the new setup. We’ll recalibrate your ECU to suit the changes, so you’re not leaving power or efficiency on the table — and to make sure everything works in sync.
