"There is a ton of good info here and since this part of the forum is not super popular it does not take very long to go through all of it, I think there is only like 5 pages of threads. I suggest starting off with digging through everything here and gathering all of the good posts and info people have posted. Anything from TylerJDubbs (He does tuning for people, Ward Performance is the name I believe and if you want to pay someone he will knock it out of the park) or bb-tt is going to be top notch, those guys really know what is up for this platform (Med17.1). There are specifically some repository threads where people posted stock files and a handful of tune files but I would not suggest blindly following any of those until you learn more, but gathering it for reference materiel is good.
If you branch out into the wild internet there is a lot more good info to be found on tuning this platform but it might not be from the HP Tuners view, but all of the concepts to learn are the same. Audizine has a few threads with some good tidbits, as well as nefmoto and there are other tuning forums out there. Some of the best info is in the Bosch funktionsrahmen, which is the original German technical manual on the engine software, I have tried to find the MED17.1 version but have been unable to locate it thus far. People keep this stuff close to the chest as there is a lot of money to be made in tuning vehicles and honestly this isn't for everyone if you want to do it right and not damage your car.
Start reading everything here and keep us posted on your journey and if you have any questions I will do my best to assist if I can and other people will occasionally pop in and drop some knowledge!
Good luck on your adventure, it is really fun and rewarding to do this stuff yourself if you are the DIY kind of person. "
