What’s the difference between ‘ECU remapping’ and the Panther tuning box?
ECU remapping is the term given to the process of fine tuning the software parameters of the ‘maps’ contained within the engine control unit of a vehicle. The overall effects of an ‘ECU remap’ and a high-end tuning box are comparable, although there are some distinct differences. We use the definition ‘high-end‘ tuning box, as there are many cheap tuning boxes on the market which will have no affect on the overall performance of your vehicle.
As the Panther tuning box is a physical plug-in, it can be installed and removed as many times as you want. If you change your car, you have the option to attach the tuning box to your new car providing it has a comparable engine. Performance wise, the Panther tuning box provides astonishing results, producing greater BHP and low down torque than the average ‘ECU remapping’ service. Combined with this, no amendments are being made to the software protocols within the engine control unit and all the safety functions within the ECU are therefore retained. Essentially, the Panther tuning box has been designed for everyday driving and to work in harmony with your vehicle engine.
How can I find out the current power rating (BHP) for my car?
You can find this in the owners handbook for your vehicle and also on the V5 (your registration document).
