Real pros warm up first

It is better for the engine if it is allowed to warm up properly before being asked to deliver maximum performance. The warm-up timer puts the upgraded performance on tap only after the engine has reached working temperature, reducing wear.

Individual fine tuning mappings

The RaceChip comes from the factory with the right map for your engine. Should this initial configuration not meet your expectations, our customer service is able to further adapt the settings of the 3 distinct driving modes Efficiency, Sport and Race to the performance characteristics of your engine.

What is chip tuning?

More performance without rewriting your ECU

Your engine has sensors that constantly send information to the car's computer, like air pressure, boost pressure, and fuel rail pressure. The RaceChip module is installed in the engine bay and connects to some of these sensors using the supplied wiring harness.

How it works

Think of RaceChip as a smart middle step between the sensors and the engine computer. It reads the sensor signals, carefully adjusts them, and sends the optimised signals on. The engine computer then responds by allowing the engine to make more power and torque.

This keeps the original ECU software untouched, and the module can be removed later if needed.

What is a Throttle Controller?

Sharper pedal response without changing engine power

In many modern cars, pressing the pedal sends an electronic request before the car reacts. A throttle controller changes how quickly and strongly that request is sent, so the car feels more responsive when you press the accelerator.

It does not add horsepower by itself. Instead, it changes the pedal feel, helping reduce delay and making the car respond more directly to your foot.

How App Control Works

With app control, you can change the throttle response from your smartphone. Choose a softer setting for smooth city driving, a sharper setting for quick response, or switch back when you want a calmer factory-style feel.

  • Adjust throttle response from the RaceChip app
  • Choose modes for comfort, sport, or stronger response
  • Pairs well with chip tuning because it changes how quickly the car reacts to your input
