What is a PowerChip and why is it worth having one?
PowerChip is a state-of-the-art, external device that improves your car's performance - increasing power, torque and improving gas response. We install it without interfering with the engine computer (ECU), which means that the car retains the manufacturer's warranty, and the PowerChip can be disconnected at any time.
We tune each unit individually on our dynamometer (or at one of our certified partners), so that the results are tailored to the specific car and confirmed by the measurement. You gain more power, often lower fuel consumption, and at the same time full safety.
You can also order PowerChips online, but you'll reap the biggest benefits with on-site installation, with personalized tuning. It's a simple way to get better performance - without risk and without compromise.

Frequently asked questions
I have a locked controller. Can I tune the car?
Yes – PowerChip works without interfering with the engine controller. Unlike classic chip tuning, PowerChip communicates with selected sensors and optimizes the unit’s operation externally. This is ideal for cars with a protected ECU.
What is the difference between PowerChip and Chip Tuning?
PowerChip is an external module (tuning box) that does not require dismantling the controller or uploading maps. It can be easily disassembled and transferred to another car.
Chip tuning is a direct modification of the software in the ECU – more advanced, but also requiring more intervention. Both options are performed in-house and individually tailored to the customer’s needs.
Does the PowerChip wear out the engine faster?
No – if it is well tuned. Our PowerChips are tuned on a dynamometer for a specific unit, with safe margins for engine operation. In addition, every installation comes with a warranty, because we know what we’re doing.
How long does it take to install the PowerChip and tune it?
Normally, the whole process takes from 2 to 4 hours. During this time we assemble the device, take measurements on the dynamometer and tune the PowerChip for your car. At the end you receive a printout with the results.
