New Mini - Economy & Performance Upgrade Available

3rd February 2010
Frequently Asked Questions:
 
Why do manufacturers limit the power output of their engines? 
The standard manufacturer tune is a compromise of hundreds of factors. Principally, the manufacturer must ensure a high degree of engine reliability across the worldwide market taking into account factors such as; fuel quality, servicing schedules, operating climates & local emissions regulations. During testing, manufacturers 'tweak' tunes constantly to achieve individual results for individual tests, thus compromising an overal smoothness of the tune.
 
How will the emissions be affected?
All Autologic Performance Tunes are tested to ensure that they comply with UK emissions laws.
 
Is the tuning process reversable?
Yes. In the unlikely event that you require the Autologic Performance Tune to be removed, the process can be reversed without any side effects. Whilst we would carry out the removal process at no cost, we are unable to refund the cost of the original tune upgrade.
 
Are there any physical changes to the vehicle?
Not usually, most Autologic Performance Tunes are ECM software downloads only. There will be no physical evidence that the engine has been uprated. The exception to this statement is the BMW Mini Cooper S, where two different tunes are available. The first is diagnostic only, the second has been optimised for a smaller supercharger pulley.
