No, we will come to you. We can remap your car at home, work or anywhere you wish. Contact us to arrange a time convenient to you.

Firstly, we need your car! We will test drive it before hand (with you if required) to perform some basic tests so we can ascertain if there are any issues that will affect our work. If your car has any issues that may affect the work and render it pointless we will tell you straight away and will not carry on with the tuning process. The remapping process normally requires about 1 hour from start to finish including the pre and post test drives.

We've noticed pretty much equal gains between manual and automatic cars when using this process. In both cases, because of the increase in power, you'll find either the car or you needs to shift gear less often, making for a much smoother drive all round.

Every car is different. Our prices start at £295 but it does vary depending on vehicle make and model. Please contact us for a free no obligation quote to remap your car. P.S watch out for special promotions!

We've noticed that vans seem to get amazing gains from our remapping process - this is for two reasons:

Diesel engines (and especially turbo diesels) benefit far more from this process than petrol engines, as they usually have a wide variety of limiters in place, stopping your van from reaching it's true potential.

Remapping increases the torque of the engine, meaning that you'll have more power when you need it when your van is fully loaded.

No change is made to any hardware for engine remapping and it is virtually undetectable even to the dealers. We do not replace any components, we simply overwrite the current software contained in your vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit). So this does not affect any warranty. Please note that all remaps are TUV approved!

The main benefit of engine remapping is that we can reverse the remap back to standard settings at any time. We keep every customers original map on hard drive just in case you ever decide to return your vehicle to its standard power.

Engine mapping is the modern version of chipping. When you ‘chip’ a car you put in a chip that has a set of data already burnt onto it, into your ECU. When you remap an ECU, you save off the data currently stored on the chip and overwrite it with the performance data. This then allows you to apply different maps where applicable and also restore the original data should you require it. The benefit obviously of this is that it means you have not changed any standard part of the car and therefore warranty is unaffected.

Remapping is overwriting the original software contained inside a vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) with tuned software. This software is referred to as the engine map because it is this program that controls the engine. Before the advent of serial port remapping the only way to overwrite this software was to replace the chip that contained the software. Now this can all be done by plugging in to the vehicles serial port/diagnostic port and overwriting the engine map with the performance software. Remapping is not a gimmick it is a performance conversion that will seriously improve the power, drivability and quite often the MPG of your engine.

Because all work carried out is localized entirely to the ECU, and is completely software-based, there is only minimal risk to your car. In the unlikely even that something was to happen to your ECU during the process of remapping it, we will replace it.

If you are a frugal driver to start with then your economy will improve. If you are going to use the power more often and drive the car faster - your consumption will drop as it would anyway. When we remap an ECU the open loop parameters for fuel are altered to give more performance, so if this extra performance is always used then you will use more fuel. But if normal driving is observed then fuel consumption is unaffected (on motorway driving many customers have actually noticed better fuel economy after remapping). .

That's up to you, although we do always advise that you should! Not all insurance companies are knowledgeable about the process of remapping, and therefore will not always add a premium for remapping. You should check with your insurance company before having your car remapped to see if this is the case.

This is a very good question. Why does a car manufacturer purposely build a de-tuned engine in the first place? There are a few reasons for this - one is that the manufacturers have to sell there car all over the world and must de-tune there engines for different fuel grades and atmospheric conditions to prevent engine damage caused by these conditions. They also have to take in to account the average car buyer may not want blistering horsepower from there engine, an elderly woman for example may not be too impressed by a BMW 120D wheel spinning through the gears when she takes it for a test drive. So manufacturers must make compromises.
