No doubt you’ve heard of the stigma surrounding engine chips? There are a huge variety of poorly manufactured engine chips out there that offer very little performance gain, and could potentially harm your vehicle.

It is important to know exactly what each option involves- especially since not all chips and remaps are equal. Both chips and remaps alter the ECU algorithms, thereby increasing the performance and pulling power of your vehicle, reducing lag, and improving fuel economy. While you are driving, the ECU continually runs algorithms that control every parameter, such as ignition timing, air/fuel ratio and boost pressure. These reductions are not a mechanical factor, but are made by the software running the Engine Control Unit (ECU).

When your vehicle rolled off the factory floor, its performance was deliberately reduced to ensure it met product planning objectives, economy targets or efficiency demands.
