Tuning can be grouped into 2 kinds. Customised ECU Tuning and also Piggyback tuning

Piggyback

This kind of tuning make use of a separate computer to do modify perimeter to the car's ECU and make more power. They typically read AF Ratio and Boost pressure. You can typically expect 15-20% gain from such modification which is lesser than Custom tuning which can yield 20-30%. Reason being, Piggyback tuning make use of a One Size fits all solution, these chips are sold to cars all over the world and have different climate. Thus the tuning on the device itself has a wider band to prevent any mishap...

 

Custom Tuning

Custom tuning is like teaching your ECU all over again, tuners are able to tweak timing, AF Ratio, Boost according to the parts you upgraded, the fuel you use for your vehicle. This simply means that your car is better optimised for the climate, parts and petrol and squeeze the most power out of it. However, custom tune carries a risk if its not done right, where instances the car is tuned too lean and the engine gets very hot. Thus do your own due diligence when selecting a tuner. 

Lastly for your question on how it affects ECO/COMFORT/SPORTS mode. The answer is, all range improve accordingly.
