How is it done?

Most engines are controlled by an onboard computer (ECU), this communicates

many things back to the car but importantly for us it dictates how your vehicle

drives. We are able to modify the way in which this communication happens to

open the true potential without any performances compromises

90% of vehicles from 1999> are programmed remotely through the diagnostic

port (ODB). The ECU is untouched and there is no replacement chip, meaning

there is greatly reduced risk of any damage during the procedure.

On vehicles that don’t fall into this category depending on model variation the

ECU will be programmed on a bench (BDM machine), our factory trained

technicians have extensive experience doing this with compromising on quality.

A Diagnostic check is always carried out before we start programming the car.

The modified file is then load on to the vehicle
The vehicle is then road tested to make sure everything is operating as it should

be A final diagnostic check is then done to give the all clear for any fault codes or

conflictions before handover.

Can the original settings be re-installed?

We always backup the original file settings on our database so the original file

can always be uploaded back onto the vehicle.

Is there a limit to how many times a vehicle can be remapped?

There is no limit to the number of times a vehicle can be remapped, we are constantly improving our optimization software, and so further gains may be possible in the future.

Are there any risks involved with remapping a vehicle?

As long as each step in the process is followed correctly there is minimum risk involved. Providing you follow our step by step procedures of which we highlight training.

Is remapping the same as chipping?

Chipping is an older version of what remapping is today. Chipping involves the ECU being physically opened, replacing the main microchip with a modified microchip. This invalidates the warranty. Our method means we never have to open the ECU. Remapping is much of a lesser risk than chipping as were building on the
vehicles original map specific to that vehicle, rather than a generic map, which in turn may not give the
customer the optimum performance they are after.
