FAQ

Every injection engine is equipped with a computer-ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that controls the ignition, injection and air-fuel ratio. This ECU (computerchip) contains all necessary operating settings for the engine. We rewrite the data on this chip so that the engine benifits from an individually optimized operating program.

ECU Tunes are visible to the official dealers, so it voids any factory guarantee as it is seen as a car modification.

After an appointment is made, we work on the car for about 2-3 hours, (note that some cars take longer) We individually adjust each car and often it takes several times before the result is perfect. We return the car when we are satisfied about the result, it should be perfect. Normally we take into account that the car stays with us for 1 day.

Each engine is different, each injector is different, each turbo is different... Mass production = fairly large manufacturing tolerances. It just takes too much time and money to individually develop each engine. Because the manufacturers make those engines with positive and negative tolerances, they must also provide large margins in the software! If we take a look at them individually we can deliver a highly secure way a lot of horsepower and torque gain. Tuners that work with a standard tuning program don't get their extra horsepower not from fine-tuning, but simply from a greatly increased boost pressure, which of course is certainly not good for engine life! People sometimes ask how is it that tuner X has the same horsepower as tuner Y, but costs only half. Well the answer is simple, it's just a different tuning, which has the same horsepower, yes, but the difference lies in the reliability, drivability, fuel consumption etc. Cheap is in this case more expensive!

Optimised functioning of the vehicle, resulting in:

1. More horsepower

2. More torque

3. Optimised fuel efficiency

If the ECU tune is done professionally and safely than there are no disadvantages.

Our stage 1 ECU Tunesis are developed in a certain way that we always remain within the safety limits of the current car. A stage 1 is 100% reliable.

With newer cars it is possible they receive an update. If this happens you can rechedule and we remap the car based on the new software.

A powerbox is a small module that is connected onto the car's wiring system. By remapping the car we optimalise the software on the ECU (chip). A powerbox just alters the value sent to the engine ECU. In fact you are "cheating" the ECU. This isn't the correct way to tune a car and holds several dangers.
