ENGINE REMAPPING.
The power and fuel economy of your car can be enhanced or boosted in about an hour by altering the settings on the engine control unit (ECU).
A vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) is the computer that controls how the engine works.

However, the manufacturer’s default settings (or maps) are not necessarily the best they could be as they are forced to consider different laws, such as emissions standards, climates, fuel quality etc. in all of the countries that their vehicles are sold in.

Car makers are also known to limit the performance of their cars through the ECU so they can release faster models at a later date, with just a few software changes and a higher price.

What are Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs)?
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), also known as ‘particulate traps’ remove particulate matter from diesel engine exhausts. DPFs are becoming increasingly common in trucks, buses and cars owing to stringent international emissions regulations. DPFs are constructed from porous ceramic materials and consist of numerous small channels which are blocked at one end. The exhaust gas enters the DPF through the inlet channels at one end. It is forced through the porous walls of the channels and emerges from the outlet channels.
As it passes through the channel walls, the particulate matter is trapped. These wall-flow filters can remove 99% of the particulate matter from the exhaust gases.



DPFs come in a variety of sizes and use a range of ceramic materials including

Cordierite
Silicon Carbide
Aluminium Titanate
Truck DPFs are usually cylindrical in shape and the filter is clearly visible from either end. Car DPFs are often enclosed within a metal can, sometimes alongside a catalytic converter.

Our Xpurge® cleaning technology has successfully completed rigorous testing to ensure that it is suitable for all these types of filters
