FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Answers to the ECU remapping and performance tuning questions drivers ask before modifying their vehicle.
What is ECU remapping, and is it safe for my car?
ECU remapping adjusts your engine software, including air/fuel ratios, ignition timing, and boost, to unlock performance the factory left on the table. Done correctly, it is safe. We tune within safe limits for your specific platform and verify drivability.
How much horsepower will I actually gain?
It depends on your vehicle, whether it is turbocharged, and what supporting modifications you have. We establish a baseline and document the after results so you can see the measured result for your car.
Do I need bolt-on mods before tuning?
We can tune a stock vehicle for meaningful gains, and we can also build around hardware like intakes, exhausts, and turbos. During your evaluation, we give honest recommendations for your goals and budget.
What vehicles do you tune?
We specialize in European and high-performance vehicles including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and other German and sport-oriented brands.
Will a tune affect my warranty or reliability?
Modifying engine software can affect a manufacturer warranty, so we talk through that honestly before work begins. Every tune is calibrated within safe limits because power without dependability is not a good tune.
