GET BETTER SOUND AND PERFORMANCE WITH VEHICLE HARDWARE UPGRADES

  • State-of-the-art performance hardware upgrades

  • Installed in-house

  • Fully warranted 

WHEN DO I UPGRADE TO PERFORMANCE HARDWARE?

stage 1.png

STAGE 1

Most Stage 1 upgrades are software-based (ECU remap) and work fine with stock components. This normally only takes 2-3 hours at most. 

​​

Stage 1+ can involve hardware upgrades on most cars. 

​

You can begin with 

Performance air filters and cat-back exhausts to enhance gains.

STAGE 2

Essential upgrades include upgrading the exhaust system for better airflow and an air intake, intercooler, and sometimes a fuel system. This will all allow for increased air and fuel.

 

These hardware upgrades are crucial and aren't optional at stage 2.

STAGE 3 & 4

These can vary per car but most of the time its an upgraded turbo/supercharger for more units of boost. Advanced fuel systems and cooling (such as high-pressure fuel pumps and meth injection) along with engine internals/transmission upgrades.

​

At stage 3 its optional but definitely recommended to upgrade your braking system and suspension.

PERFORMANCE HARDWARE EXPLAINED

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

Purpose: Increases the amount of air flowing into the engine, improving combustion efficiency.

​

Why upgrade? A performance air intake or filter allows more oxygen-rich air to enter the engine, resulting in better throttle response and slight power gains. Essential for optimizing airflow in higher stages of tuning.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Purpose: Removes exhaust gases from the engine more efficiently, reducing backpressure.

​

Why upgrade? Upgrading to a performance exhaust (like a cat-back or turbo-back system) improves engine breathing, enhancing power and torque. Crucial for higher stages, where the engine produces more exhaust gases due to increased power.

INTERCOOLER UPGRADE

Purpose: Cools the compressed air from the turbocharger or supercharger before it enters the engine.

​

Why upgrade? An upgraded intercooler prevents heat soak, maintaining consistent power output, especially under sustained high boost in Stage 2 or 3 tuning. It ensures cooler, denser air reaches the engine for better performance.

FUEL SYSTEM UPGRADE

Purpose: Supplies the engine with the necessary amount of fuel for combustion.

​

Why upgrade? In higher tuning stages, the engine demands more fuel. Upgrading fuel injectors and pumps ensures that the engine gets the fuel it needs, preventing lean conditions that can damage the engine.

  • What services do you offer?
    We offer a range of services including dyno tuning, vehicle wrapping, performance upgrades, and general maintenance.
  • What are your shop hours?
    Our shop is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM. We are closed on Sundays.
  • Where are you located?
    We are located in South London. Only minutes away from the M25 motorway. Our full address is SOUTH TUNINGZ, UNIT 1, 1 FIRCROFT WAY, EDENBRIDGE, TN8 6EL
  • How long have you been in business?
    We have over 5 years experience remapping cars with some of the technology and partners in the UK/USA. To date, we have remapped over 5000 vehicles ranging from old to new cars, german to even american cars.
  • Do you have good Mechanics?
    Our mechanics fully specialize in the vehicles we cover. They either have worked previously at the manufacturer as a master technician or they have years of hands on experience with our supported vehicle platforms, this ensures you leave your vehicle in the right hands to receive the right care.
  • Are you better than a main dealer for repairs and servicing?
    Yes, we can proudly say we are in almost every area. With us, you don't have a high waiting time minor work (unlike main dealers who can keep you waiting up to 2 months to be seen). We're also much more affordable while still supplying and fitting OEM and even uprated parts for less than a main dealership price.
  • Do you work on Supercars?
    Indeed we do, we have worked on a number of supercars, from repairs, remapping to even wrapping them, all with the highest level of care and expertise.
  • Mobile remapping vs Dyno Remapping
    Mobile mapping tends to be priced much cheaper at around £150-£300 vs dyno tuning which tends to be priced from £350-£800+ for most remapping companies. While mobile tuning may seem cheaper initially, dyno tuning offers a more precise and comprehensive tuning process. Dyno tuning allows for real-time adjustments and monitoring under controlled conditions, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for your vehicle. This normally leads to getting more horsepower and less risk of damaging your turbo or engine. Whereas mobile remapping (most of the time), tends to focus on a quick process of loading a file onto your cars computer that can cause massive issues. This can be because the file isn't good for your car and is sourced from a poor database and at the same time, not properly dialed into your car. Our word of advice is to invest the extra amount into a full dyno tune so you can get not just accurate evidence of your cars new power, but also peace of mind for the reliability of your remap.
  • What is dyno tuning?
    Dyno tuning is the process of optimizing a vehicle's engine performance by adjusting the engine control unit (ECU) settings using a dynamometer. This process ensures the engine runs efficiently and maximizes power output.
  • Why should I get my vehicle dyno tuned?
    Dyno tuning improves your vehicle's performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. It can also help diagnose and resolve performance issues, ensuring your engine runs smoothly. It will tell you if your car is actually producing the power it should.
  • How long does a dyno tuning session take?
    A typical dyno tuning session can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the vehicle and the tuning required. Stage 1 tends to be the quickest, while other stages tend to have more variables and need to be properly tested and refined to ensure safe power increases. Lots of remapping shops tend to neglect this area and get the remaps installed into a car as quick as they can without proper safety testing and feedback application. This causes major issues for the customer, which can often result in a turbo or engine blowing up.
  • Is dyno tuning safe for my vehicle?
    Yes, dyno tuning is safe when performed by experienced professionals. We take all necessary precautions to ensure your vehicle is safely secured and monitored during the process. Lots of remapping shops are known to load a file onto your cars computer and leave it at that. When you remap a car with a bad file and don't safety test the car, it creates major issues. This has given our industry a bad name and makes people believe that tuning/remapping is dangerous for the car. To properly get a safe remap on your vehicle, you need to follow the safest possible route, which is custom dyno tuning. Yes it costs more, but it gives you peace of mind for your vehicle.
