If remapping is so amazing, why hasn't the factory done it?
Q: If my car can be improved so much by an ECU Remap, why hasn’t the factory done this?
A: This is a very common question that we get asked. The answer is very simple, the factory could have remapped your car, however they choose not to for many reasons, the most important is marketing. Cars are manufactured to fit into a market category and there is certain criteria for make & model categories and the car’s ECU is mapped to fit into these categories. It also allows for a enough power separation between various models. Manufacturers will also produce two identical cars with identical engines, then simply offer the car in two states of tune, this is a very economical way of extending a model range. Examples of such cars include the BMW Mini One and the BMW Mini Cooper, another example is the VW Golf Tdi 104BHP and the Golf TDi 140bhp.
