What is Performance Tuning?
Performance tuning is the process of optimising your vehicle’s engine and gearbox settings to achieve more power, torque, and efficiency. It can involve ECU remapping, hardware upgrades, or recalibration of existing systems. By fine-tuning your VW Group vehicle, we can unlock performance that was limited at the factory, giving you sharper throttle response, smoother gear shifts, and improved drivability.
Performance Tuning Isn’t Just for Track Days
Many drivers assume tuning is only for high-performance or track cars, but that’s not the case. A professional tune can make everyday driving more enjoyable and efficient. Benefits include better fuel economy, smoother acceleration, and safer overtaking power; all while keeping your car reliable and comfortable for daily use. At VGS Performance, we tune vehicles to suit your lifestyle, not just for the race track.
