The typical power gains are as follows:
Diesel (Turbo) 30%-50% increase
Petrol (Turbo) 20%-55% increase
Non Turbo 10%-15% increase
The remap usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
The modification to the map is undetectable by the dealer’s diagnostic equipment. Therefore, unless you tell them it has been done, they will not be aware of the change.
In most cases, certainly in diesel cars, your fuel consumption will be improved by up to 10%.
The remap does not in any way affect the life expectancy of the engine.
With a CC Tuning remap, no other modifications are required. We ensure that the extra load on the engine and transmission falls within safe margins. It is recommended to install a high performance air filter as this allows the engine to breathe more effectively. This will ensure you maintain the maximum performance. A full exhaust system can also be beneficial.

The alternative to a proper remap is a plug-in tuning box. When comparing the two, a full remap is irrefutably the better option. A tuning box sends false sensor values throughout the complete rev-range. This tells the ECU that there is not enough fuel entering the engine. The ECU then over-fuels in order to gain performance. Although performance gains are made, they are at the cost of high emissions, higher engine temperatures, and general abuse of the engine. This may result in poor running, black smoke emitting from the exhaust, clogged injectors, rough idle, and engine cut-out.
The tuning is very hard for any insurance company to detect; but as with all modifications, you should inform your insurance company.
If you are not completely satisfied with your remap within 7 days you will not be charged, and we will return your car back to standard (minus the cost of installation).
If you decide to sell your car, you can either choose to sell it with the map, or you can contact us to have it reverted back to standard.
Before bringing your car for a rolling road tune its a good idea to check that the car is in good health mechanically. Make sure it has been serviced up to date, has a clean air filter, good spark plugs etc. This saves time checking the basics if any problems are found.Make sure the car has a good ammount of fuel in it. If you have a high performance turbo car we would always recomend running it on super unleaded fuel. If we are doing any tuning work make sure you have filled up with the fuel that you will be using every day. Its no use having the car tuned on super unleaded if you are going to go away and fill up with regular!Make sure your tyres are in reasonable condition and have the correct pressures. Its worth remembering that some vehicles will approach 150mph on the dyno!!Make sure the engine is in reasonable health, not smoking excessivly and with no major oil and water leaks.Make sure you inform the dyno operator of any known faults/issues.If you have a few of you that are interested in running their cars together then contact us about the possibility of a rolling road day/group discount.
Yes, the car will need to have been matained and in good working order. This will not only get the best from the remap but a poorly matained car can cause a remap to highlight other problems. We will carry out a diagnostic check on your vehicle to check for faults
Please note that all quoted power increases are for indication only. Every vehicle will be different and CC Tuning ltd can not and will not be held responsible if your vehicle does not reach the stated power.
We will however customise each and every car to get the best perfromance and ensure that any dealer updates are included with in the remap.
