Peterborough Chip Tuning (Prices starting from £199)

Chip tuning involves changing or modifying a programmable memory chip in a vehicles electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve better performance, whether it be more power, better emissions or improved mpg.
Engine manufacturers generally use a conservative electronic control unit map to allow for individual engine variations.

Chip tuning can alter a variety of your cars characteristics, ranging from better fuel economy to more horsepower. Many of our customers opt for a tune that will increase their vehicles power, which in most cases, will also improve the car's fuel efficiency during regular driving. Results will vary depending on which vehicle you have, but a power increase will not only improve your car's peak horsepower, it will also increase torque throughout the rev range and improve power delivery and throttle response.

In most cases, forced induction (Turbo or supercharged) vehicles will benefit from a higher horsepower increase after chip tuning than a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) vehicle would. This is because the boost pressure on a forced induction car can be increased, along with ignition timing, fuel ratio and fuel pressure, whereas an na vehicle only benefits from ignition timing, fuel ratio and fuel pressure changes.
