is re-mapping the same as chipping?
Chipping is an older version of what re-mapping is today, which involved the ECU being physically opened and replacing the main microchip with a modified microchip. Our far more advanced methods mean that there is now no need to open the ECU, risking potential damage and failure.

will a black code re-map shorten an engines life expectancy?
The simple answer is no; Black Code optimise the parameters within the ECU without exceeding the limits of the vehicles engine.

What risks are involved with re-mapping a vehicle?
ECU re-mapping or a tuning-box?
Engine tuning boxes generally only increase the fuel pressure and injection periods. This leads to an uneven spread of power and spikes, due to poor quality signal processing. These problems do not exist with ECU re-mapping, because all the parameters of the engine management are adjusted in unison, including torque and turbo limiters which can not be accessed by a tuning box.
can a re-map be detected by a dealer servicing the vehicle?
