Ecu remapping in a nutshell
ECU Remapping was done with early engine computers in the 1980's and 1990's just like the 1995 Oldsmobile . Today, the term chip tuning can be misleading, as people will often use it to describe ECU tuning that does not involve swapping the chip. Modern electronic control units can be tuned by simply updating their software through a standard interface, such as On Board Diagnostics. This procedure is commonly referred to as engine or electronic control unit tuning. Electronic control units are a relatively recent addition to the auto mobile, having first appeared in the late 1970's.
Chip tuning refers to changing
modifying an erasable programmable read only memory chip in a vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve superior performance, whether it be more power, cleaner emissions, or better Fuel efficiency
As technology advanced, so did the electronics that go into cars. The electronic control unit in a modern automobile,
together with advanced engine technology, makes it possible to control many aspects of the engine's operation, such as spark timing and fuel injection. The electronic control unit may also control electronic throttle control (drive-by-wire), poppet valve timing, boost control (in turbocharged engines), Anti-lock braking system, the automatic transmission, speed governor (if equipped), and the Electronic Stability Control system.
Some new vehicles need tuning on the bench in boot mode. Some older ones need chip removal & re program

DPF Diesel Particulate Filter Removal in a nutshell
A diesel particulate filter (or DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. Wall-flow diesel particulate filters usually remove 85% or more of the soot and under certain conditions can attain soot removal efficiencies approaching 100%. Some filters are single-use, intended for disposal and replacement once full of accumulated ash. Others are designed to burn off the accumulated particulate either passively through the use of a catalyst or by active means such as a fuel burner which heats the filter to soot combustion temperatures. This is accomplished by engine programming to run (when the filter is full) in a manner that elevates exhaust temperature or produces high amounts of NOx to oxidize the accumulated ash, or through other methods. This is known as "filter regeneration". Cleaning is also required as part of periodic maintenance and it must be done carefully to avoid damaging the filter. Failure of fuel injectors or turbochargers resulting in contamination of the filter with raw diesel or engine oil can also necessitate cleaning. The regeneration process occurs at road speeds higher than can generally be attained on city streets; vehicles driven exclusively at low speeds in urban traffic can require periodic trips at higher speeds to clean out the DPF. If the driver ignores the warning light and waits too long to operate the vehicle above 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), the DPF may not regenerate properly, and continued operation past that point may spoil the DPF completely so it must be replaced. Some newer diesel engines, namely those installed in combination vehicles, can also perform what is called a Parked Regeneration, where the engine increases RPM to around 1400 while parked, to increase the temperature of the exhaust.

What are the benefits, Pros & Cons of getting your car Remapped or Chipped
If you want more power and or economy from your vehicle, it’s worth considering an ecu remap. A remap alters the settings on how the engine works in order to improve performance. It is also known as chipping. We get lots of emails and questions about this so here is whats involved.
For petrol cars remaps are made possible by altering the settings on your car’s engine control unit (ECU). This controls the ignition timing, air/fuel mixture and (on turbo cars) boost pressure.
A chipping company can reprogram the car’s ECU to change how it controls the engine and can also remove any limits placed on it. This used to be done by plugging a microchip with new software into your car’s circuit board, but these days, software can be installed using a laptop connected to its diagnostic port.
The gains can be impressive. For example, a Mk VI VW Golf Gti has power gains from 207bhp to 251bhp, and torque gains from 280Nm to a whopping 324Nm.
Chipping turbo diesel engines can increase economy by around 10 per cent, this is because it adds torque lower down the rev range and thus the engine doesn't have to work as hard giving you a smoother more powerful and more economical drive.
Remapping does add marginal additional strain on an engine, but not a significant amount. We carefully check that the settings of the remap is within safe limits.
The vast majority of vehicles engines are built to offer more performance than set by the manufacturer. In fact some manufacturers offer lower and higher HP models with the same engine, ECU hardware.

Ecu Remapping, Engine Tuning, Chip Tuning, Chipping etc are all different terms for the same thing. Engine tuning can also mean tuning the engine of older vehicles by adjusting the carb. Modern engines can only be tuned by adjusting the ECU on the vehicle. We can deal with all aspects of tuning form older vehicles to brand new ones
