WHAT IS REMAPPING?

Most modern vehicles contain an ECU (or Engine Control Unit) that is effectively a small computer which controls how the engine works. Vehicle manufacturers de-tune the engine by setting the software on the ECU to default before sending the vehicle out. This is done due to the manufacturers having to sell their cars all over the world; this means that the software settings on the ECU must take into account different climates, laws & restrictions and varying quality of fuels. Vehicle remapping is the modification/replacement of the manufactures default software  with an upgraded more efficient, dialled-in software on the vehicles ECU.

WHY CHOOSE VEHICLE REMAPPING?

There are many reasons to choose vehicle remapping. Firstly, you will notice that your engine responds better when the accelerator is pressed. The overall torque and power will be noticeably increased. Power delivery will be smoother making for a much safer driving experience, which in turn also makes it easier and safer to overtake. During normal driving, you will notice that your MPG is better which not only decreases the cost of fuel that you will have to pay, but it also minimizes your carbon footprint. Throttle response will be improved and the rev range will be enhanced.

Will a remap void my warranty?

No one can say for 100% certainty that the remap will be undetectable. However, the modification to the software will not show up on any main dealer diagnostic equipment and therefore unless you tell them that it has been done, they will not be able to detect any changes made to the vehicle. If you are worried about your warranty, a stage 1 software stays within manufacturer specifications.
