What is a remap?
ECU re-mapping, or chipping, is when adjustments are made to the standard ‘map’ which controls things like electronic fuel injection, ignition timing and turbo boost pressures, in the engine electronic control unit, the ECU.
When a vehicle is produced, the map programmed into the ECU by the manufacturer has to take into account various different driving conditions, outside temperatures, poor fuel and even the fact that some owners don’t have their cars serviced when they should.
When we remap a car, we modify the standard ‘map’ and make the car more engaging to drive. Each map has been individually optimised to the engine and rigorously tested to ensure it does what it’s supposed to while safely eliminating those ‘performance compromises’.
In most cases this map is entered electronically through the car’s diagnostic port without touching the ECU.
Then the car is tested before you come to collect it to make sure everything is operating as it should
How does a remap work?
We carefully match increases in turbo boost pressure with the remapped ignition timing and fuelling. It doesn’t affect reliability or the life of the engine. And most of the time this can be done through the vehicle’s diagnostic port.
