FAQ

Chip tuning is the process of optimizing your vehicle's engine software (ECU). By adjusting parameters such as turbo pressure, fuel quantity and ignition timing, we increase power and torque.

Before any software change, we inspect the vehicle to establish its condition. We only change the software if the vehicle is in perfect working order, and in that case there is no risk to the engine, gearbox or other components. After tuning, we test the vehicle in real driving conditions while logging its parameters.

Yes. We keep the original software of every car in our database, so the car can always be returned to its factory settings.

Technical inspection stations in Serbia have no dynamometer rollers that measure a car's power, and they don't measure the amount of soot particles coming out of the exhaust (if the DPF has been switched off), so there is no need to worry that your car won't pass its technical inspection.

This is one of the questions we hear most often, and the short answer is: it depends. With petrol engines, don't expect any fuel savings — consumption can only go up. With diesels, consumption can drop, but it varies from engine to engine: some save nothing, while others use 1 l/100 km less. The driver also plays a big part, since driving style has the greatest effect on fuel consumption.

The power increase depends on the engine type and the tuning stage. With Stage 1, turbo diesel engines typically gain 20–35% more power and turbo petrol engines 15–25%. Stage 2, with hardware upgrades, can deliver an even bigger increase. You can check indicative figures for your engine in our calculator.

Stage 1 usually takes 2–4 hours; the most involved jobs, such as Stage 2, take one working day. The job includes inspection and diagnostics, reading the original software, writing the map and testing in real driving conditions.

We work on passenger cars, SUVs and pick-ups, as well as vans and light commercial vehicles, with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines. We don't work on trucks or agricultural machinery. We have the most experience with the VW Group (VW, Audi, Škoda, Seat, Cupra), BMW/Mini, Ford, Peugeot/Citroën and Volvo. Contact us with your vehicle details for an exact quote.

Chip tuning may affect the factory engine warranty. We recommend checking your vehicle's warranty terms before deciding on tuning. Our tune is fully reversible - we can restore the original software at any time.

Yes, we give a warranty on our work. It covers correct operation of the software we installed, free map corrections and a free restore of the original software. You can get the detailed warranty terms when booking an appointment.

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) OFF is the software removal of the particulate filter. It is useful when the DPF is clogged or damaged, as replacing it can be very expensive. Software removal solves the clogged-filter problem, eliminates errors and regeneration issues, and reduces fuel consumption. If the filter only needs cleaning, we also clean DPFs without removing them.
