What a session involves
Four stages, measured at both ends
- 01
Health check
Tuning a car with a fault makes the fault worse. We check it over first and tell you about anything that needs attention.
- 02
Baseline power run
The car runs on our all-wheel-drive rolling road so you see what it actually makes before we touch it.
- 03
Map written in-house
We read your ECU’s original file and alter it ourselves. The original is kept so it can be restored.
- 04
Proven after
A second power run with the new map, a printout of both curves, and a road test before you go.
Draft Session steps to be confirmed with PK.

Questions people ask
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Yes. A remap is a modification and must be declared to your insurer, or a claim could be refused. We give you the before-and-after figures to pass on.
Will you remove the DPF or EGR as part of a tune?
No. Emissions equipment stays fitted and working. Removing it makes a vehicle illegal to use on the road and it will fail its MOT.
Can I go back to the standard map?
Yes. We keep a copy of your original file and can reinstall it.
Can you check another tuner’s figures?
Yes. A power run on our dyno gives you an independent measurement of what the car actually makes.
