A Response Turbo Chip....Why
There is enough technical info on the site to cater for those who are attracted by this dimension however I think that the following this might be the best way of answering this question. "It’s not very often that a product comes along that "wows" us however the Response Chip does....it’s really that simple...from a seat of the pants point of view they are special and give gains over and above the conventional."
This does not mean that other tuners do not provide good gains it’s just that from our experience; the Response Chips are different and provide an enhanced level of performance.
The Response Chip is a Prestige product that sophisticated customers will identify with when they are search of a review of their current driving experience.
Price Range: $900
When we remap an ECU we are basically fine tuning the program that deals with engine performance. As well as producing greater power and torque we also deal with drivability problems at lower rev ranges such as flat spots and hesitation issues giving the engine more initial torque making a more responsive and enjoyable drive. It’s the time and attention to detail that sets one set of parameters from the other, it’s what makes one chip good and the other great.
Petrol (Turbo)
Remapping a petrol turbo engine ECU will produce 25 - 30% BHP more in some cases, depending on exact specification, the engine will be significantly more responsive with power coming in immediately relative to throttle input with no lagging at higher revs. This large increase in power & torque gives far more flexibility in all gears reducing the need to change down unnecessarily to overtake safely and quickly. It’s the driving experience that is taken to a new level, making a Response Chip the logical choice when standard performance is lacking.
Diesel (Turbo)
Remapping a diesel turbo engine ECU will produce 30 - 50% BHP and 60 - 75% torque depending on exact specification. Diesel engines give the most impressive power and torque gains available. Extra power is gained throughout the entire rev range and under all load conditions; the turning force gained from these engines is immense. This really is the best way of changing your car without having to change your car. Just seeing customers faces after tuning these engines really makes the job worthwhile. What’s always comes as a surprise is the general rule that fuel economy is improved after a Response Chip has been fitted. This result is achieved because revs are not as required as in standard form and we regularly see gains of 10-20 percent.
Serial Remapping
Serial port programming allows us to remap an ECU (Engine Control Unit) without removing the ECU from the car, the remapped software is uploaded direct to the ECUs EPROM via the vehicles diagnostic socket, this allows for the performance conversion to be totally invisible with no soldering or removal of components. This method of accessing a vehicles ECU covers most modern vehicles however there are some that still require a physical EPROM change and if so we can cater for this as well.
The serial remapping route allows us easily access a vehicles ECU data and make the changes that are required to provide you with the gains that you require.
