We will not map a petrol car that is ran on 95ron fuel. You have to use 98ron or higher RON rated fuel to be tuned.
Stage 1 is a "generic" tune developed by MRC Tuning for a standard car with no modifications.
Stage 2 is a "custom" tune for modified cars and is a tune developed for this specification of modifications. The car is checked and will be adjusted or changed so the car runs safe. This is for cars with intake, exhaust modifications on standard injectors and standard turbos. On more common modified cars with injectors and turbos we do have a stage 2 available. This is required for cars with precats removed, secondary air disabled etc.
Stage 3 is a "realtime custom" so will involve multiple flashes or emulator tuning for highly modified spec of car. This is the best you will get.
Stage 3 can be used on a standard car. This is required for any cars with non standard mafs, injector, turbo combinations.
Stage 2 and Stage 3 tunes should be driven by the customer, so we can get as much feedback on how you want the car to feel so we can adjust the tuning to suit you.
A map tweak is where something has changed on the car and the tune has to be checked. You keep your original tune and timing and boost can be tweaked or functions disabled (secondary air injection removal, rear lambda, flap control, throttle sensitivity, etc).
A map upgrade is when you modify a car and you require another remap that falls into a different stage, usually going from stage 1 or stage 2 tune upto stage 3. This will always give you the best tune on your car.
A map tweak is usually €200.
A map upgrade to stage 3 is the stage 3 cost with 30% discount and this includes dyno time. Please contact us for exact costings.
Prior to any software changes, we do one of our Engine Health Checks. All cars are thoroughly inspected for any fault codes, and are run through a series of comprehensive diagonstics tests in order to ensure it performs as it should in stock form.
If it doesn’t, we point out what issues have to be addressed before we can go any further. We will never tune an engine with defective sensors or poor performance due to poor servicing/maintenance. To save you time and cost, we ask that your car is maintained to a high standard, Please use the following as a check list:
You are paying for the tuning of your, through time, development and expertise of MRC Tuning to get your car to a safe and optimum state of tune. The File or Edits in your ecu remain the property of MRC Tuning and should not be distributed, copied, edited or published. The file will be based on a standard OE file with only changes made by MRC Tuning.
We can reflash your tune if this happens. This is charged at our hourly rate.
We do not do remote tuning. You will always get better results to bring the car to us. We can give advice on remote tuning but remotely fault finding and diagnosing is too time consuming for us to make this an option we offer.
Before modifying your car you should consult with MRC Tuning that the spec is appropriate and you are using the correct parts. If the correct make and quality of parts are used we should be able to give you an estimate on what is achievable. There are some parts that manufacturers quote gains and we would not recommend to fit so please consult before you modify the car. If you have modified your car yourself you should bring the car for an inspection before the car is tuned to see if it is a spec adequate for your requirements on your Tuning Form.
If you are not happy in any way, and we do not meet your requirements on the Tuning Form filled out before the remap, we will refund the cost of remap minus the health check cost and any additional labour costs we have incurred fixing the car. You have 14 days from remap and you will need to bring the car back to put stock file back on. Tuning is at your own risk and cost. If you have any issues the customer should demonstrate this to MRC tuning to show under what conditions whatever is not correct.
