    This means that they don't strive to be the best that they be and cut corners by not buying the necessary equipment together with staff. This element in the buying process is the hardest for any consumer to evaluate as even the most affordable companies also claim to become the best..... So how can you tell what you are getting for your money? All may become a lot clear if you happen to read on...

    A Comparison Between Poor and High Quality Software programs

    Below we have 2 examples showing the difference between an average quality ECU remap and an exceptional ECU remap. The first car is a VW Golf diesel with the 140bhp PD engine. This is a good example as this engine is widely used in many makes and models and is one of the most popular engines that we have tuned over the last 6 years.

    Example 1

    This car found us after having a remap implemented by a local tuning company for 249, however they did only email his software away to become modified, 15 minutes later the remapped software was again and installed onto the car and the entire process from handing on the keys to driving away was complete in under 45 minutes. Initially he felt that there would be an improvement in the cars performance, but after a week or so the difference became a smaller amount noticeable, so he decided to return to the tuner and was told to give it some more weeks to 'settle in' (a line commonly used by amateur tuners). A couple weeks later nothing had improved, so he returned to your tuner and they needed the keys from him or her and drove the car up and down the road a several times and reported again 'that feels perfect, practically nothing wrong'.

    Not convinced that this was the correct approach to test the car, the owner asked us to execute a power test to the Dyno. This was the result:

    On primary view, things look acceptable, The car is creating a healthy 160bhp and 270 ft/lb involving torque. That's a gain of 20hp and 20 ft/lb above the manufacturers official power outputs. However the tuner had promised a gain of 45bhp and 50 ft/lb with torque.

    So we had a look at the data contained inside the ECU and were not shocked to find that all had recently been altered were 2 parameters, more fuel and slightly more turbo boost. That's pretty much what to expect with a 15 minute file that was sent by email and had no real improvement, tuning or testing.

    The next step was to return the program back to its primary settings and re-test to make sure that the lack of power gain wasn't being brought on by an underlying fault, here is the results of the 'standard' power test:

    The Dyno test in the car in standard form provided an exceptionally accurate result of 140. 4 bhp and 240 ft/lb with torque, that's within 0. 1% of the manufacturers official output stats.
