What chip tuning does for your car
More power and torque
Chip tuning lets you make fuller use of the engine's potential, which the factory often leaves as a safety margin.
Lower fuel consumption
Optimised fuel delivery and ignition settings can reduce consumption in everyday driving.
Sharper response
The car responds faster to the accelerator. This helps with sportier driving and with towing a trailer.
Important
Chip tuning is safe when it's done by professionals who respect the engine's technical limits. That's why we check the condition of the engine and control unit first, and only then start remapping.
How chip tuning works
Four steps where nothing is left to chance.
Engine and ECU check
We check the condition of the engine and control unit to make sure the system is ready for tuning.
Backup of the original software
We read and save the factory ECU software so it can be restored if needed.
Individual remapping
We adjust the fuel delivery, ignition and turbo settings to your needs and your car's capabilities.
Testing and test drive
Using diagnostic equipment and a test drive, we check how the engine performs in different modes.
The mechanic agrees the expected result and the price with you before work starts.
When chip tuning is worth it
Modern car engines are run by an electronic control unit (ECU). At the factory it is often set with a safety margin and generic settings that suit different markets and fuel qualities. Chip tuning lets these settings be tailored to your car and your driving style.
Drivers most often come to us when the car feels sluggish or they want more power or lower consumption. Chip tuning is also useful after exhaust or turbo upgrades, after an engine repair or after fitting a new control unit, when proper calibration is needed.
Before chip tuning we always save the original ECU software and check the engine's condition. If the engine has defects, we fix them first, because extra power only puts more strain on an engine that isn't healthy.
