Remapping uses the software on your ECU (Electronic Control Unit) as a base, and we make changes to that software and write the new files back on over the top of the originals. We always keep a copy of your original software in case it needs to be loaded back onto your vehicle in the future.

No, chip tuning is the term used for the tuning of early fuel injected and turbo charged cars, typically from the mid-eighties to late nineties. The micro-chip holds the program for the fuel injection and turbo on has to be removed and replaced with a microchip with a different program on.

Most likely the answer is yes, most cars built after the year 2000 are able to be remapped. If you give us your registration number we can look up the details of your vehicle and then check on our systems. We will also be able to tell you the gains and prices too.

Legally yes you do, modifying a vehicle without telling your insurance company will invalidate your cover. Meaning they will not pay out in the event of an accident and then prosecution by the Police for not being insured. This is down to your conscience though, as we do not inform any motor industry or insurance body we have remapped your vehicle.

A remap uses your original software, we make a copy of it and modify it, then load the modified files over the top of the originals. We keep a copy of both lots and can reload either at any time in the future if required. A tuning box at best alters the voltages from the sensors to the ECU, fooling the ECU into raising fuel flow/pressure and turbo boost. At worst, they do nothing at all. Also as there are extra wires and connectors, there are more potential points of failure.

This is always a tricky question to answer. If the claim is on a non-engine part, then there is no reason why there should be an issue. If the claim is with an engine part, then it is down to the dealer/manufacturer to prove the remap caused the failure. I personally have had 3 different makes of brand new vehicles remapped including 2 work vehicles and have warranty work carried out on all without any objection from the dealers. Understandably some customers prefer to wait until the warranty period has ended before remapping, but we have plenty of clients who have had us remap new vehicles including a 3 day old Jeep, a 3 day 184 mile old Ford Transit Custom, a 2 day old FIAT Ducato based motorhome and a 4 month old BMW X6M.

No, ours will not. We take care to make it smooth and progressive so as not to overload or stress any engine or transmission components. A poorly written remap possibly will damage it due to over fuelling and a power delivery that feels like it’s on a switch, it's either all on or all off. We also consider the specifications that the manufacturer has built it to take and keep well within those limits unless you want a 'Race' map in which case we ask you sign a disclaimer and we will extract the maximum power but keeping the delivery as smooth and flexible as we can.

All we recommend is that you look after the engine as you should if it was standard - Warm it up before revving it hard, cool it down afterwards before switching off and service it using recommended quality parts and scheduling.

No, our remaps are built to deliver smooth and progressive power, and within the design limits of the components. But, as all clutches are service items and have a finite life, clutch slip may occur on a clutch that is nearing the end of its natural life. To date, we have had this happen on 3 vehicles in over 7 years of remapping.
