Performance remapping
A calibration written for your engine, gearbox and whatever is actually fitted. More pull low down, a throttle that responds, and nothing pushed past what the engine was built for.
- We read the car first
The original file comes off and gets saved before anything else happens, so the car can always go back to standard.
- The file is written for you
Fuelling, boost, timing and torque limiters adjusted for that exact engine code, not picked off a shelf.
- Then it gets driven
Road tested or logged before you get the keys, and revised for free if it is not where you want it.
Economy and fleet work
For the miles that are work rather than fun. Low end torque lifted so the engine is not straining at cruising speed, and you change gear less often on the same route.
- Mapped for the load
Vans and tow cars get a different file from a hot hatch, because they are doing a different job.
- Consistent across a fleet
Every vehicle gets the same calibration and the same paperwork, so drivers are not comparing notes.
- Booked around you
Multiple vehicles done in a batch, most back on the road the same day.
Diagnostics and carbon clean
A fault code tells you where to start looking, not what to replace. We read live data, run the tests and give you a straight answer, then fix it rather than switching it off.
- Full system scan
Not just the engine. Everything that talks on the bus gets read.
- Live data, not guesswork
Actuator tests and logged readings so we know what the car is actually doing under load.
- Carbon clean where it helps
Worth doing on a direct injection engine past 25,000 miles, and honest about when it is not.
The full list
All 35 of them, grouped, with a straight answer next to each one about where it can be used. If what you want is not here, ring and ask.
Stages
The main calibrations. Each one is written for your exact engine and gearbox code, never picked off a shelf.
- Stage 1Road
Standard hardware. Fuelling, boost, timing and torque limiters adjusted inside factory tolerances.
- Stage 1+Road
The most we will sensibly take a standard car, with the factory emissions systems left working.
- Stage 2Road
For cars already running an upgraded exhaust, intake, intercooler or downpipe.
- Stage 3Ask
Hybrid or upgraded turbo with uprated fuelling and the supporting hardware to match.
- Stage 4Track
Built around a car put together for drag and competition work.
- Sport mode onlyRoad
Factory power in normal mode, the tune applied only in sport. Useful on a shared or company car.
- Economy calibrationRoad
Aimed at mpg rather than headline power. Low end torque lifted so the engine works less hard at a cruise.
Gearbox software
Automatic transmissions, on supported boxes. Send the read and we will confirm before you quote the customer.
- TCU Stage 1Road
Shift speed, shift points, lock up and torque limiters on a standard engine.
- TCU Stage 2 and 3Ask
Matched to a Stage 2 or 3 engine file so the box can hold the extra torque.
- Kickdown deactivationRoad
Stops the box dropping gears on the last part of the pedal travel.
Driving features
The things you notice from the driver's seat rather than on a dyno sheet.
- Launch controlTrack
Competition feature, on vehicles that support it.
- Pops and bangsTrack
Overrun crackle on petrol engines, full time or sport mode only.
- Hardcut rev limiterTrack
A sharper cut at the top of the range for track work.
- Speed limiter changeAsk
Raised, lowered or removed where the operator is permitted to change it.
- Start stop removalAsk
Stops the engine cutting out at every junction.
- Cylinder on demand offAsk
Stops the engine shutting down cylinders at light load.
- Swirl and intake flapsAsk
The software side, where the hardware has failed or been removed.
- Exhaust flap controlAsk
Valve held open for a consistent exhaust note.
- Sport display activationRoad
Turns on the extra gauges some cars ship with but never show.
Emissions systems
We diagnose and repair these. Software removal is supplied for off road and competition vehicles only, because disabling emissions equipment on a road registered car is an offence in the UK and most of Europe and an automatic MOT failure.
- DPF and FAPTrack
Diagnosis, forced regeneration and repair. Removal for off road use only.
- EGRTrack
Diagnosis and repair of the valve, cooler and control circuit. Removal for off road use only.
- AdBlue and SCRTrack
Diagnosis and repair of the dosing system. Removal for off road use only.
- NOx sensorsTrack
Fault finding and replacement guidance. Removal for off road use only.
- Lambda and catalystTrack
Diagnosis and repair. Removal for off road use only.
- OPF and GPFTrack
Petrol particulate filter diagnosis. Removal for off road use only.
File work
The jobs behind the job. Mostly trade, but worth knowing we do them.
- Checksum correctionRoad
Including MED17, EDC17 and EEPROM.
- Immobiliser off or virginRoad
For second hand ECU matching on supported platforms.
- Original file restoreRoad
Back to factory software from the read we saved for you.
- File integrity checkRoad
We open the read and tell you whether it is complete before you write anything.
- DTC removalAsk
Up to five codes, once the underlying fault has actually been repaired.
- Crash data resetRoad
Airbag module reset after a repair.
- 4 bar sensor calibrationTrack
For upgraded turbo setups running more boost than the standard sensor can read.
- Hot start fixRoad
The common warm start fault on the VW group engines.
- OBD read protectionRoad
Stops your file being pulled straight back out of the car.
- Original ECU filesRoad
Factory files plus hardware and software compatibility lists.
The ones we get asked
Will it affect my warranty?
If the car is still inside its manufacturer warranty, changing engine software can affect a drivetrain claim. We will tell you where you stand before you book, and plenty of people wait until the warranty is up.
Is it safe for the engine?
The file stays inside the tolerances the engine was designed around, and we check the car for existing faults first. A tired engine with a slipping clutch or a boost leak does not get mapped until that is sorted.
How long will you have the car?
Most jobs are one to two hours. If the ECU has to come out for a bench read it can take longer, and we will say so when you book rather than on the day.
Can it be put back to standard?
Yes, at any time. Your original file is saved before anything changes and it stays on our system.
Do you remove DPFs or EGR valves?
No. Disabling emissions equipment on a road registered car is an offence and an automatic MOT failure. We diagnose those systems and help you repair them properly instead.
What do you need to give me a price?
The registration and a note of anything that has been changed on the car. That is usually enough to come back to you the same day.
