Stop Letting Your Transmission Hold Back Your Alfa Romeo Giulia
Your Alfa Romeo Giulia is engineered to perform.
Sharp chassis
Responsive turbo engine
Italian attitude
But your transmission software?
It was calibrated for emissions, warranty departments, and the average commuter.
If you’ve tuned your engine or plan to, your transmission may still be electronically limiting torque and interfering with how the car delivers power.
That’s where the real bottleneck lives.
The Problem: Software Limits You Can’t Feel… Until They’re Gone
Factory torque caps prevent the gearbox from allowing full engine output even if the engine is capable of producing more.
Some tuners “trick” the TCU into thinking torque is lower than it actually is.
That’s not how a proper performance platform should operate.
You want:
Accurate torque modeling
Clean communication between ECU and TCU
Faster, smarter shifts
Full driver control in manual mode
Introducing the MADNESS MAXPower TCU Flash
Precision Transmission Calibration for the Alfa Romeo Giulia
This is a true OBD2 transmission flash, not a workaround.
Flashed directly to your factory TCU through the OBD-II port
No physical removal of the TCU required
No hacking or bypassing factory systems
Just a clean, professional recalibration using genuine OEM software protocols.
What We Improve And Why It Matters
Raised Torque Limiters
We raise or remove factory torque caps (where supported), allowing your engine to deliver full horsepower and torque gains.
What that means for you:
Stronger acceleration
Full benefit of your ECU tune
No artificial restrictions
True Manual Mode Control
Many drivers dislike forced upshifts in manual mode.
We adjust automatic upshift behavior so you control gear changes — not the software.
Result:
More driver engagement
Better corner control
Improved performance on spirited drives and track sessions
Faster Shifts & Increased Line Pressure
Reduced shift time and optimized line pressures deliver crisp, decisive gear engagement.
Result:
Sharper throttle response
More connected feel
Transmission behavior that finally matches the Giulia’s character
Stay in the power band longer without premature upshifts interrupting acceleration.

Already Running a MAXPower ECU Flash Tune?
You do NOT need to purchase a second device.
Simply purchase this flash option (this listing) and we’ll provide the transmission calibration for your existing system.
Simple.
“Is It Safe for My Transmission?”
Yes.
We retain factory mechanical protections and safety systems.
This is a refined calibration, not a “max everything out” file.
Performance with responsibility.
“Is It Complicated to Install?”
No.
Everything is done through your OBD2 port using our smartphone app.
Read. Flash. Drive.
Why Giulia Owners Upgrade
Because once torque limits are raised…
Once shifts get faster and more decisive…
Once forced upshifts are removed…
The entire car feels tighter, sharper, more alive.
It finally shifts like it looks.
This Is the Missing Piece
If you’re serious about unlocking the full potential of your Alfa Romeo Giulia, the transmission calibration is not optional, it’s essential.

Supported Vehicles & Application Guide
The MAXPower TCU Flash is engineered specifically for the Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Turbo platform.
Directly Supported (No SGW Bypass Required)
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
(Models built before February 2018)
SGW Bypass Required
The following model years require an SGW (Security Gateway) Bypass in order to perform OBD2 flashing:
2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L (Built after February 2018)
2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L
What Is an SGW Bypass?
Beginning in mid-2018 production, Alfa Romeo added a Security Gateway Module (SGW) that restricts direct OBD programming access.
An SGW bypass simply allows secure communication between your tuning device and the vehicle’s control modules. It does not remove factory safety features.
If you're unsure which production date applies to your vehicle, just give us a call. We will verify it quickly and make sure you order exactly what you need.
Upgrade your transmission.
