FAQ
Is it possible to get even more power from the engine with chiptuning than what you offer?
Absolutely! However, our goal is not to push your engine to the limit, but to achieve an optimal balance between performance enhancement and fuel efficiency without overloading the power-transmitting components. We back this up with our warranty!
Is it advisable to have a power enhancement done on a new car?
During the manufacturer-specified break-in period, no power enhancement should be performed. During this period, when the piston rings are not yet fully seated against the cylinder surface, an increase in maximum combustion pressure could lead to a higher risk of piston slap.
Will the factory warranty expire?
Not necessarily. The vehicle manufacturer certainly won't be liable for damage resulting from power enhancement - for this, you will receive an extended warranty from us. On the other hand, they cannot refuse liability for damages not related to the tuning. This is stipulated by the current warranty law.
Is your tuning harmful to the engine?
No, our power enhancement uses the tolerances set by the engine developers without having any harmful impact on the longevity of the engine, the transmission, or other power-transmitting components. All relevant component limits are specified before the development of a power enhancement and are anchored as the upper limit in the requirement specification. The average thermal load on the components is nearly within the range of the standard.
Is the tuning box visible in the workshop?
The tuning box itself can be recognized by a specialist upon closer inspection when installed. However, when reading the error memory during an inspection, the tuning box will not be detected. After removal, the tuning box is also no longer traceable.
Why doesn't the vehicle manufacturer provide this power enhancement from the factory?
Vehicle manufacturers undoubtedly have the best engineers - but they pursue other goals! Efficiency, emission standards, insurance classes, fuel qualities, mechanical tolerances, and highly variable climatic conditions are just a few points that restrict engineers at the factory. In contrast, our power modification is an individual adjustment to your mechanical conditions, utilizing all tolerances given by the manufacturer.
Will my turbodiesel pass the emission test?
Absolutely. Proper tuning does not lead to a deterioration in emissions. Improved emission values have even been documented for common rail models.
Does the increased power need to be entered in the vehicle documents?
We provide our power enhancements without a vehicle-specific parts certificate. After installation, an individual acceptance and entry in the vehicle registration and vehicle title is required. In the old federal states, this is done by the TÜV, in the new federal states by DEKRA.
If the engine is approved for biodiesel by the manufacturer, there should be no issues with tuning either. However, it is important to know that your engine may lose up to 10% power due to the lower calorific value of biodiesel.
Do driveability, cold start behavior, or diagnostic possibilities change?
The vehicle behaves in all respects like a standard model - except for engine power when you fully depress the accelerator.
Can the tuning box be test-driven beforehand?
You are welcome to take a test drive with your own vehicle. Should you, against all expectations, not be satisfied with the results of the power optimization, we will revert the vehicle to its original condition and charge you only for the incurred installation costs.
Do you program your electronics individually for each vehicle, or do you use a standard component for all engines?
Our control units are programmed specifically for each engine and can, if necessary, be adjusted downwards in power by us or one of our specialists. Since our control unit works directly with the vehicle's sensors, we achieve a power density similar to that of the manufacturer.
How much will the top speed and the 0-100 km/h acceleration change?
An exact figure for each vehicle is unfortunately not possible. Different tires and speedometer tolerances make these values very unreliable. Therefore, we focus solely on values that we can reproducibly prove: the power and torque data of the engine.
What additional considerations are needed after power enhancement?
No more than with a standard vehicle. The maintenance intervals prescribed by the manufacturer must be followed. Other activities that fall under your own responsibility, such as regularly checking oil levels and the quality of the engine oil used, should also be observed. Turbocharged vehicles must always be thoroughly warmed up, depending on the outside temperature, approximately 10-15 km, before full power is demanded. The "cooling down" of the vehicle after a brisk highway drive should also not be neglected. If you follow these rules, your engine will reward you with high, trouble-free mileage.
Does the original braking system need to be adapted to the increased power?
Since the vehicle manufacturer has already provided sufficiently large safety reserves, this is not necessary. This has been confirmed by TÜV in various reports. Does the emission classification of my vehicle change with the power enhancement? Of course not. A deterioration in standard emission behavior is not allowed by law. In addition, we have had TÜV reports created for many power enhancements, so this would not be possible anyway. On the contrary: in most cases, emissions are even reduced.
Do I need different tires because my vehicle is now faster?
No, the same rule applies as for the brake adjustment. The standard tires already have sufficiently high safety reserves, so no other tires are required for our tuning box.
Does my insurance classification change?
The planned power enhancement should in any case be reported to your insurance company before it is carried out; you should also inquire about the process and any potential contract changes. Only in very rare cases have we heard of a premium increase or something similar. In general, insurers accept the modification without any change to the contract. However, you should get this confirmed in writing.
Do modifications need to be made to the transmission control unit?
In general, the increased torque does not cause any problems for automatic transmissions. Since torque detection takes place via the CAN-BUS signal, our module does not cause any issues with vehicles that have an internal torque limit.
