Q: How will the remap affect my fuel consumption?
A : Depending on what your requirements are and your driving style depends on what your fuel economy will be.
If you go for an out right maximum power output and drive it as so, you can expect to see it decrease as it would without the map. If you get the map to increase torque low down and drive conservatively then it is likely that fuel economy will improve. In a Diesel to an extent you control the amount of fuel injected with your right foot. The Overall consumption is governed by the average RPM over a Journey. With more torque you can stay in a higher gear for longer and so maintain a lower journey RPM and improve economy.
Q: How will the remap affect the longevity of my engine?
A: The remap will obviously increase the power output of your vehicle and depending on how you drive depends on how reliable it is for you. If you drive it harder then naturally you can expect to decrease the life of your engine but likewise if you thrashed it without even having it mapped then you would expect this to be the case. In overall terms an additional 30% power increase could be expected to reduce engine life by something like 3%. But in a modern engine which should be good for 300 thousand miles plus if properly maintained this is a very small price to pay.
Q: Can it be reversed?
A: The beauty of the remap is that this process is completely reversible without any trace, therefore if within 14 days you want it changed back, we will carry it out free of charge with a full refund. If after 14 days you wish to reverse it then there is no charge for the process but NO REFUND will be given unless there is a specific issue arising from a fault associated with the remap itself.
Q: I intend to make further modifications...?
A:Again, let us know what your planning so we can advise the best way forward and can even offer great package deals on other performance upgrades.
Q: Is remapping better then chipping or Tuning Boxes?
A:OBD remapping is the modern technique replacing chipping. It reads and writes on your ECU via the OBD port this is still reprogramming the chip but in a safer better way. Tuning boxs work only to either increase injection duration or rail pressure. More advanced systems also increase boost pressure. Cheap and simple tuning boxs do nothing more than fool your ECU or trick the pressure sensor on the fuel rail into lifting the pressure beyond acceptable levels. We alter thirty plus maps on some vehicles to acheive the proper results ensuring reliable smooth performance which works hand in hand with the Engine Managements Diagnostic Systems. This is the best method for a complete and proper tune.
Q: What if I want to sell my car?
A:If you wish to sell the car with the map on then no problem, if you wish to have it reversed back to standard after a period of time then again no problem.
Usually there is no charge.
Q: What about my insurance?
A:This is up to you. We have to advise that you inform your insurance companies that the remap has been carried out but it is extremely difficult to detect. Ultimately it is your responsibility.
Q: What warranty do you give?
A:As we change nothing on your car other than a software map, the warranty we give is on the software only. We guarantee its integrity for life and even if the dealer overwrites it we will reinstall it free of charge.
Q: Why should I choose torquetronix over the dozens of other tuners in the Marketplace?
A: Quite Simply torquetronix are not just another tuning company.
Our tuning has been developed over the last ten years as a result of thousands of hours of dyno time and offers some of the best tuning available worldwide today. We develop all our own software and so when we tune your engine we are not just downloading a piece of software which we know nothing about into your vehicle.
Recently it is fair to say the standard of tuning offered has declined rapidly together with the Price asked. It is fair to say that you get what you pay for. With the invention of OBD equipment anyone armed
with a laptop can upload a modified file into your vehicle. in Fact given 30 mins we could train anyone to extract and replace ecu software.
The difference is in the quality of the software modifications. We regularly see changes to ECU code that would be better attributed to a five year old in terms of increase everything even without knowledge
of what maps are being changed or what the effects are. We spend hundreds of hours in development and have tuned well over 10,000 vehicles.
We are not arrogant about it but ultimately the customer takes his choice. Your engine is the most expensive part of your vehicle. A cheap remap can cost huge amounts in the long term.
We ask you to consider wisely.

There are many advantages from having an experienced tuner work directly on your vehicle using a dyno such as options to choose power levels and throttle response rates etc. Also if there is a problem it can be dealt with straight away.
Other Companys simply download software via the internet from a supposed expert tuner who turns out hundreds of files a day without dyno testing and who simply tunes every car the same way. We offer a personal service backed up by years of experience.
Q: Will My Car pass the MOT when Remapped?
A:All of our conversions are monitored for smoke emissions. Particularly in the 2003 onwards vehicles which have to adhere to more stringent limits.
Your car should have no problem in passing the test unless there is something wrong with the vehicle at the time. If you do have a problem we can advise.
if you have a decat pipe for example you may have a problem. Contact for advice.
