Professional ECU remapping modifies selected parameters within the vehicle's engine-management software to change the way the engine performs. This guide brings together the key things Stoke-on-Trent drivers should know.
What remapping can offer
Depending on the vehicle, remapping can potentially provide increased power, torque, improved throttle response and better driveability, though results depend entirely on the engine.
Checking the vehicle first
A remap isn't a repair. Existing mechanical or engine-management problems should be considered before increasing engine output, and additional torque places greater demands on the drivetrain, including the clutch.
Insurance, warranty and MOT
An ECU remap is a vehicle modification and should be declared to your insurer. It may also affect a manufacturer or aftermarket warranty, and a remapped vehicle still needs to comply with MOT and emissions requirements.
