To provide the auto and on your own more power, there are 2 techniques to select from: You can transform the maps by direct intervention in the engine control or place an extra device that sends altered signals to the control electronic devices (extra control system or Powerbox). Both have their advantages and also downsides. The first generation of such adapter in the nineties has actually done that simply with flexible resistors. We tried such a gadget on a Kia Retona back then, with unsatisfactory results. Instead of the assured extra power, there was just more soot. The contemporary variation of the plug contains microprocessors, which convert the signals. They are installed in a couple of minutes (and also increased once again). Some can be connected as though they can be activated via toggle switches.

The technically extra sophisticated and also entirely undetectable solution is the reprogramming of the engine control system. In most cases this can be done without its removal via the diagnostic socket (OBD II) as an interface. The receiver has more choices below than with the tuning box, since it can alter all stored in the chip maps of the engine control, however likewise a lot more mischief capacity. The workshop does not acknowledge such adjusting, but it might be that it plays in the course of an update, a totally new software program - as well as the adjusting is gone. Serious providers after that upgrade at no cost.

The receivers are certainly a thorn in the side of the car manufacturers. They like to stay masters of the power they require from their engines and also attempt to safeguard their software program, albeit unsuccessfully, as the tuners perform with their job. For that reason, the manufacturers do not willingly inform whether engines of various power degrees actually differ just in the software. In some cases the more powerful version utilizes better product such as pistons as well as linking poles. And also a smaller sized loader not just costs much less, it likewise reacts quicker, thus the referred to as turbo lag light hold-up in the launch is lower. But if he wants to provide big amounts of air, the wind turbine unhealthy broadband are required. Because you need to make the initiative to contrast spare components checklists, says Sander. Oettinger specializes in models from the Volkswagen Team, repair services as well as maintains them. For that reason, the company is additionally familiar with the mechanics.

It does not always need to be this means. Fear statements regularly happen, which can be destroyed by chiptuning whatever. Way too much stress, for instance, blows out the light of the cylinder head gasket. The 2nd standard of the adjusting damage is an ill-used turbocharger. Excessively warm exhaust gases due to hrs of full-load make particularly the fragile turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG) in the diesel to develop. "It does not tolerate far more than 850 levels Celsius," explains Sanders coworker Max Spieker. Exceedingly long injection times can likewise trigger the pistons to melt, as well as if the combustion chamber temperature levels increase inappropriately, there may be cracks in the cyndrical tube head.
