would i have to go to a dyno tune or can i download a remap and put in on my self, i dont really know how this stuff works, i havent had much experience. as far as i know the only way to do it would be to take it to a workshop with a dyno and they will tune on the dyno, but by the sounds of it people here are just using premade tunes and "installing" them, them selves |
No not unless you have the correct hardware no, plus if you don't know much about it then that's super risky and not worth it. You'll brick your ECU.
You can go to a specific dyno garage yes. Or you can get a mobile retailer come to your house and do it. No one buys generic ones. That's waiting to blow your engine up.
What mobile remappers do is download your ECU map from your car, send it to a shop that have altered that exact model and year of car before. They manipulate your map to match the one they've done before and then send it back, the guy then uploads it to your car.
Each one must be custom because every car is slightly different even if it the exact same make a model.
Your best bet is to fine a model remapper local to you with good reviews and ask him for a quote. He'll come to your house or place of work and complete the job in a couple hours. and the map will be under guarantee so if it blows your car up it doesn't matter. (Well not as much!)
