Common Questions
We believe in transparent communication. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services and compliance.
We specialize in street-legal performance packages that meticulously comply with ADR (Australian Design Rules) and EPA noise emission standards applicable in Victoria. Our team will guide you through the regulations specific to your desired modifications, ensuring your vehicle remains compliant for road use, providing peace of mind alongside enhanced performance.
Modifying your vehicle's ECU can potentially impact your manufacturer's powertrain warranty. We offer specific, high-quality piggyback ECU solutions that can be removed for dealer services, often leaving no trace. However, it's crucial to understand that significant performance upgrades can generally affect factory warranties. We recommend discussing your concerns with us and your dealership beforehand.
A comprehensive custom dyno tune typically requires between 3 to 5 hours. This duration can vary based on the complexity of your current vehicle setup, any pre-existing conditions, and the specific performance goals. We allocate ample time to ensure precision and thorough testing on our 4WD dyno, providing you with optimal and safe results.
