ENGINE REMAPPING FOR VOLKSWAGEN.

The power and fuel economy of your Volkswagen can be enhanced or boosted in about an hour by altering the settings on the engine control unit (ECU).

A vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) is the computer that controls how the engine works. However, the manufacturer’s default settings (or maps) are not necessarily the best they could be as they are forced to consider different laws, such as emissions standards, climates, fuel quality etc. in all of the countries that their vehicles are sold in. Car makers are also known to limit the performance of their cars through the ECU so they can release faster models at a later date, with just a few software changes and a higher price.
