ECU Remapping in Royal Wootton Bassett – What You Need to Know Before Booking a Remap
If you’re looking for trusted ECU remapping in Royal Wootton Bassett or Swindon (Wiltshire)
JM Performance offers expert tuning for a wide range of vehicles – from hot hatches and family SUVs to fleet vans and workhorse Transits. Located at Unit 2B, Hope Well House, we help drivers unlock more power, better fuel efficiency, and smoother performance through custom remaps tailored to their vehicle.
What is ECU Remapping?
ECU remapping is the process of adjusting your vehicle’s software to optimise engine performance. Modern vehicles are controlled by an Engine Control Unit (ECU), and manufacturers often restrict performance to meet various international regulations. A custom remap safely adjusts key parameters like fuel injection, boost pressure, and torque limits to bring out the true potential of your engine.
What Are the Benefits of a Remap?
✅ Increased horsepower and torque
✅ Sharper throttle response
✅ Smoother acceleration and gear shifts
✅ Better fuel economy (especially for diesels)
✅ Removes flat spots and turbo lag
✅ Optional features like rev limit adjustment and launch control
Remap Extras We Offer:
Speed Limiter Removal – Ideal for fleet vans or exports (where legal)
Pops & Bangs Maps – Aggressive exhaust note on petrol performance cars
Launch Control Activation – For select turbocharged petrol vehicles
Hard Cut Limiter – For diesel performance builds (track/off-road only)
AdBlue Delete – For off-road or export vehicles
EGR Delete – OFF-ROAD USE ONLY
DPF Removal Software – OFF-ROAD USE ONLY
Swirl Flap Delete – Improve reliability and airflow on certain diesels
Cold Start Noise Reduction – Smoother, quieter starts
Important: All emissions-related modifications, including DPF and EGR deletes, are strictly for off-road or motorsport use only and are not road-legal in the UK.
