FAQs
Will a remap affect my warranty?
We discuss warranty implications before work. For many cars warranty may be affected; we recommend checking manufacturer policy and we can provide reversible mapping options.
Do you offer dyno tuning?
Yes — we perform rolling road validation and power/torque measurement as part of many builds to ensure predictable results.
