Geographical location is a key factor when upgrading engine performance. Height above sea level and temperature, amongst others, plays a significant role in how much power and torque can be increased.
Every engine is unique and therefore we custom-tune each engine on our AWD dyno, taking environmental factors into account and monitoring important parameters such as AFR. Maximum power is not our goal, safe and reliable power with the best possible fuel economy is what we aim for.
2C2200 Coolant Temperature Sensor Upstream Of Low Temperature EGR Cooler, Coolant Temperature, Signals: Implausible With Each Other

ECU Remap vs Chip
ECU Remapping, also known as software upgrades, is widely regarded as the safer and more effective way to optimise engine performance—when done correctly. Unlike plug-and-play chips, remapping allows for...
Most companies in South Africa selling so-called performance chips, tuning boxes, plug-and-play chips, or performance modules do not tell you that these are simple electronic devices that intercept...
Let’s chat about plug-and-play systems—the ones that connect to the common rail pressure sensor. Usually, when you get in touch with these guys and start talking about dyno runs to prove gains, they’ll...
