re mapping / chipping of a car

    Just to clarify a few bits! chipping and remapping are the same thing, chipping is done to older cars where the memory chip has to be removed to be overwritten. Modern cars can be mapped in place but they both do identical things :cool:

    A file is never dated, you can have 14 on the average ecu but obviously this varies from memory to memory but for someone who knows a map is super super easy to spot. I could take your car provided its an ecu i use and tell you if its mapped in about 5 mins, its not untraceable!

    when you open an edited file and find a map you will clearly see it shows the original too :) very easy to see this was edited!

    what happens if you bought the car not knowing it had been re mapped by the previous owner, what would it cost to re map a 01 renault megane 1.9dti?

    That statement is so obvious that your planning to remap your car and deny all knowledge of it!!

    what are the x, y and z axis showing?? The Y numbers look to be RPM but it's for a diesel?

    Its only a random map i picked so i cant be sure, but usually x axis is rpm, zaxis is % of accelerator and y is amount of air but axis vary wildly and its up to a tuner to figure out which does what.
