Q: Is it possible to reverse the performance tuning?

Certainly it is possible at any time to put your vehicle in the standard condition. For our customers, this service is free of course.

Q: Will tax and insurance change?

The motor vehicle tax rates remain the same, because the exhaust and noise emission limits are not changing.The engine power is not decisive for the insurer anymore, but the specific type of vehicle classes and the varying depending on the insurance calculation principles. Optimizing performance does not change the type class. So the insurance premiums do not increase.

Q: What should I do after the tuning?

Basically, you must not handle an optimized vehicle in another way than a standard car. However, we would like to tell you how to enjoy your automobile for a long time: Please follow the required maintenance intervals.Check the oil level regulary and change oil on time. Pay attention on the oils quality. It is important not to burden the engine before the appropriate oil temperature was not reached. If you drive a vehicle with a turbocharger, give your vehicle a few minutes at idle speed after longer tripswith full load, so that the turbocharger can cool down. If a gasoline engine is installed in your vehicle, we recommend high-quality fuel with an octane number of 98 octane or higher. Otherwise, there may be significant performance degradation. Performance tuning is optimized for higher octane numbers and completely uses them.

Q: Is an additional controller used for the optimization?

No, we do not use additional control units. Those only manipulate an input signal and thereby provoke an error that should lead to greater injection quantity. In most cases the results are bad and the pressure extremely high.

Q: Will my car be tuned on the bench?

Even during the development of a performance optimization, our test vehicle is checked in numerous bench and driving tests.The fine tuning of your car is done on a certified bench, too. Because only there the engines performance, especially the power development, the engines characteristics and the torque curve, can be set to the smallest detail, be checked and adjustet. The TÜV engineers and the automobile press are testing our optimzed vehicles extensively, too. So we can guarantee the practicality and durability of all our products. For emissions inspection the cars are brought to special test institutes. There, engineers check the exhaust emission limits, without which it would be impossibel to get the a official TÜV report. Therefore, a bench test of your vehicle is not necessary. Of course, we check the performance of your vehicle on a test stand and draw up a performance chart on request. We recommend two measurements as part of the improvements for a meaningful performance chart.

Q: Acceleration and top speed

How changes the acceleration? Does the top speed increase significantly? Acceleration and top speed are depending on many factors. Sometimes differences can be established for the same models with different equipment. The combination of wheels and tires as well as other technical changes are largely decisive for answering this question. Please note that our figures of the speed and acceleration only are indicative and therefore vary considerably. Using turbo engines, the better acceleratio is clearly noticeable. Concerning the maximum speed:you need very much performance in order to be able to drive really faster, because the wind resistance rises in the second power. In addition the transmission is often co-ordinated in the translation in such a way, that at the highest speed is reached at the number of revolutions of the highest achievement. But with rising speed and number of revolutions the achievement sinks with all turbo engines, so that depending upon vehicle and structure an increasing speed of about 5 km/h is possible.

Q: What about higher performance?

Is it possible to get more performance than officially indicated? Of course it is possible to obtain a higher achievement. However in that cases the fixed exhaust limit values are crossed often and a TÜV entry is not possible anymore. We offer - in your interest - such versions only for the motorsports engines or for export, because with a normal road vehicle these optimizations lead to an unnecessarily high wear. Our philosophy is to increase the maximumperformance, without increasing the abrasion of your car.

Q: What is changed during the optimization?

Depending on the controller generation different tools and access options are used. The series data of the manufacturer are always adjusted individually. Here normally the durations of injection, ignition and e.g. the load printing are changed. The current generations of controllers are programmed generally over the diagnostic socket (OBD) of the manufacturer.

Q: Does the manufacturer notice the changes, for example with the service?

The chip behaves with the diagnosis neutrally, i.e. it is not to be recognized with the diagnose unit. The dealer can do all necessary diagnostic work without restriction.

Q: Do I need other tyres after the optimization?

The speed rating is to be considered. In most case the buffer is large enough to afford a higher speed. In some special cases we depend with the maximum speed on the existing tires, in order to go to a new acquisition out of the way. In special cases we suit the maximum speed to the existing tires, so that you do not have to purchase new ones.
