Need to improve performance or economy - or both?

Remapping a car is a quick and fairly cost-effective process whick involves making minor adjustments to the microchip in your Electronic Control Unit (ECU), to overwrite the manufacturer factory settings. This allows your car to function at its full potential.

The ECU is essentially a computer in your car that controls the power of your engine. When a car is manufactured, the default settings on the ECU software are typically set to limit its performance capabilities. Manufacturers do this to lengthen the life of a car, by adapting the software to the specific climates, terrains and fuel qualities of a specific country. (It also means they can release a faster, more powerful version at a later date).

Remapping the software and fine-tuning the engine can increase power and torque output and maximise overall performance by as much as 35%.

It is highly recommended that remapping is carried out by an experienced specialist to avoid any risk of engine damage. The procedure only takes about 30 minutes and you should notice a significant improvement in your the performance of your car  (or its fuel economy, if you choose this option) almost immediately.

​

Please Note: Only Turbo-powered engines will fully benefit from a simple engine remapping. If your car is a non-turbo petrol, it’s unlikely you’ll notice much difference in bhp from a remap alone.  

• Greater power can also mean more strain on the engine. Be prepared to have your car serviced more frequently, as major components such as the clutch, may suffer greater wear and tear depending on how you drive.

• Once your car has been remapped you may need to use a higher octane fuel.

• If you choose to get a remap that isn’t approved by the manufacturer or approved dealership, your car warranty may be invalidated.

• Remapping your vehicle could have an impact on your car insurance.  We advise our customers to check with their insurance company before committing to a  purchase.
