Tuning Services
Tuning Services are designed to increase your engine’s power output and response beyond the manufacturer’s original specifications. This carries a number of risks to the engine and drivetrain which increase in proportion to the additional power you request. In particular:
Tuning Service | Description | Risks |
Stage 1 Tune | This is a software-only tune. The tuning software is configured to run on your car’s existing ECU and the resulting power increase is designed to be within the car manufacturer’s maximum design tolerances for the engine and gearbox drivetrain. | Small risk of engine or drivetrain damage during rolling road test due to latent or non-obvious pre-existing defect. |
Stage 2 Tune | In addition to the supply of software this involves upgrading some or all of the following components to ensure that the engine will continue to run safely and reliably without excessive strain or wear: intercooler/charge cooler, air filter intake, exhaust. | May lead to additional strain and wear on the engine and drivetrain. Note removal of catalytic converter will mean the vehicle may only be used on a track or private land. |
Stage 3 Tune | In addition to stage 2 tuning this involves fitting additional components including turbocharger, fuel injection system, fuel pump and sensors. | This service carries the highest risk of increased wear and component failure. |
Pop and Crackle | This software controls the ignition timing and fuel injection systems, retarding the spark and delaying fuel shut-off on deceleration to generate ignition of small amounts of fuel during the exhaust stoke to create a series of small explosions (and therefore pops and bangs). | This will require an up-rated exhaust system before it can safely be installed. |
Your rights to claim under the Warranty are in addition to your statutory rights (see clause 5).
