Manufacturers programme their ECUs so that most of their vehicles perform at way below their potential. They’re basically detuned to increase reliability and increase fuel economy. Some manufacturers will heavily detune their engines to create lower-spec models and meet insurance or economy regulations.

Each vehicle has its own pros and cons, prices range from £180 to £400. Tuning on the Dyno ‘rolling road’ incurs additional charge.

A performance remap can significantly increase fuel economy as it adds torque and brake horse power can be improved. What is important to recognise is that in most cases cars engines are built to perform better than they actually do. One explanation for this is that car manufacturers often launch performance versions of the car and they don’t usually put a new engine in when they do this. Effectively, if you opt for a performance remap from a garage you are in many instances simply upgrading to an improved or sportier version of your car but at a much lower price than buying the manufacturers branded racy equivalent.

We recommend you clean your DPF filter rather than remove it to stay within the law.

You can expect to see an avaerage bhp increase of 20-40 but ring Ken or Mark for exact horsepower and torque figures specific to your vehicle.

By modifying the engine management software (map) we fine tune the original software to run efficiently; this in itself does not harm your vehicle. If a customer wants a standard remap to produce more power or torque, we can cater for their individual needs. Examples would include a van being set up in order to pull a trailer, or a vehicle may be required to gain more bhp for the track or road.
