-
How are RaceChip products different from other competitors' products?
Other box suppliers use similar systems. What's unique about RaceChip is the harmonized combination of hardware and software. This allows us to very accurately fine tune the RaceChip to the respective vehicle. RaceChip products benefit from our sophisticated software and precise adaptation to the respective vehicle.
-
How can RaceChip offer its products for so many makes and models?
Our development department is always testing new vehicle models with RaceChip products, developing the right software for that vehicle in the process. With a large partner network, we are always able to test the latest vehicles from all manufacturers on-site.
-
On which engines can chip tuning increase performance?
RaceChip was designed for turbo engines. These are diesel motors with common rail or pump nozzle systems as well as petrol engines with turbo direct injection.
-
Is there a RaceChip for petrol engines?
Yes. You can install a RaceChip on many turbocharged petrol engines. Just check our vehicle databank. If your vehicle isn't listed, then we'll be happy to answer a request to our customer service.
-
Can Racechip also optimize gas and natural gas powered vehicles?
No. RaceChip should only be used with conventional fuels (petrol or diesel).
-
Can I also increase performance on my hybrid with RaceChip?
RaceChip can also enhance performance on hybrids. The hybrid needs to have a turbocharged combustion engine.
-
Can you optimize performance on an aspirated engine with chip tuning from RaceChip?
No, this technology is not possible, unfortunately. The basic requirement to use a RaceChip is a turbocharged motor.
-
Is the performance enhancement from RaceChip also suitable for engines that are already high performance?
Yes. All vehicles are tested prior to product launch and optimally tuned with RaceChip.
-
Does the transmission play a role in chip tuning with RaceChip?
No. RaceChip is suited for all types of transmissions, both manual and automatic. Often the manufacturer sets a maximum torque for the transmission. RaceChip does not exceed these limits, but rather increases the engine torque over a broad RPM range. All types of automatic transmissions (Dual Clutch Gearbox (DSG, DKG), Multitronic, S-Tronic, automatic, etc.) can work with the increased values through RaceChip. You will notice a change in the shifting due to the increased torque in certain situations, as the transmission upshifts sooner to the next highest gear.
-
Which advantages does the app control offer me as a consumer?
A RaceChip with app control offers the best user-friendly operation. With an individually adjustable engine warm up timer, the chip can be operated at various performance levels. These can be changed via the app every time you start the car. You can also adjust special settings and troubleshoot easily and quickly. We can store data on a central server for software changes, which can be immediately sent to your app as an update. This ideal function simplifies and speeds up the adjustment processes.
-
Where can I download the RaceChip app?
You can download the RaceChip app for free on your Android or Apple smartphone from the Google Play store or the Apple App Store; respectively.
-
Does the RaceChip app work with all RaceChip products?
The RaceChip app is available for our chip tuning products RaceChip RS, GTS and GTS Black as well as for the gaspedal tuning XLR. This means that the RaceChip S is the only product not available with app control.
-
What do I do if I can't find my vehicle in your databank?
If you own a turbo diesel or turbo-charged petrol vehicle that is not listed in our vehicle databank, then please contact our customer service. We'll be glad to help!
-
Ürünleriniz benim aracım için özel olarak uyarlanmış mı?
Evet. Her RaceChip, bir motor ve ilgili kontroller için özel olarak tasarlanmış ve programlanmıştır. Bu, aracınız için optimum ayarlama ve performans geliştirme sağlar.
-
How exactly does RaceChip determine the power reserves of my vehicle?
RaceChip uses series values as a guide, the same ones the original controls use. These values are optimized within the set limits (primarily related to the engine). By reviewing driving experiences on public streets and test rigs, we fulfil the highest quality standards.
-
Are RaceChip products adapted for regional peculiarities?
Regional adaptations are generally not necessary. RaceChip can be used without problem at high temperatures. For years RaceChip has sold a large quantity of this product in hot, tropical areas (such as Southeast Asia, Australia and the Arabian peninsula). The same applies for cold climes, such as in Northern Europe.
-
Yeni bir araca geçtikten sonra hala RaceChip'imi kullanabilir miyim?
RaceChip'te, performans optimizasyonunu yaparken ürünümüzü belirli bir motor için özel olarak programlıyoruz.
Bu nedenle, chip tuning ürünlerimizin sınırsız şekilde kullanılması, yeni aracın tam olarak aynı motora sahip olması durumunda mümkündür.
Durum böyle değilse, lütfen chip tuning ürünlerimizden birini yeni bir araçta kullanmanızla ilişkili seçenekler ve maliyetler hakkında bilgi almak için müşteri hizmetlerimize başvurun(+90 - 212 - 659 55 41 veya [email protected]).

Is chip tuning from RaceChip really a high tech product?
Yes. RaceChip employs so-called "intelligent tuning." It can be custom tuned and adjusted for a vehicle and its unique characteristics. We use only the latest hardware components on the market and regularly update our software. Continuous and ongoing development flows directly into our products.
-
Can you reduce fuel consumption with chip tuning from Racechip?
Yes. By adjusting your driving habits, RaceChip can greatly reduce fuel consumption. The increased torque, which takes place primarily in the lower and mid-RPM range, allows your transmission to upshift sooner, so that your vehicle is powered with an overall lower RPM.
-
Does the module have an extra option to turn it on and off?
Yes, when you buy a RaceChip compatible with app control (RaceChip RS, GTS and GTS Black). You can adjust and turn off the performance improvement via the smartphone app.
-
Can Racechip raise my Vmax limit?
The Vmax limit is not increased by RaceChip. Our system does not access the vehicle's own motor controls. The pre-installed limits from the manufacturer remain unchanged.
-
Does RaceChip develop its own performance optimizations?
Yes. RaceChip develops all of its components and software at its own R&D department. Hardware and software experts as well as other vehicle tuning professionals work hand in hand to adapt our products perfectly for every vehicle.
-
Where are RaceChip products manufactured?
The circuit board assembly, body housing production and final assembly take place exclusively in Germany. Specialized suppliers from the region were chosen specifically.
-
Which quality standards do RaceChip products meet?
RaceChip contains a certified management system meeting German and international road traffic law, based on the ISO9000 standard.
All products have Economic Comission for Europe certification from the German Federal Office for Motor Vehicles, which is recognized in over 40 countries, including the UK.
All products undergo a salt fog test.
Our electronics production takes place exclusively according to the highest quality standards in Germany.
By using modern, high-performance electronics, specially designed for the highest demands in the vehicle sector, RaceChip systems lead with regard to quality, safety and reliability.
The integrated processors take power performance as well as thermal and mechanical strain into account, in keeping with automobile industry standards.
High end processors with extremely high performance ratings are neither suited nor necessary for automotive tuning, as the data processing speed of these processors is irrelevant for the speed of data supplied in a combustion engine. In addition, these components are sensitive and, thus, accident prone. -
Are RaceChip modules protected against moisture?
All RaceChip products (RS, GTS and GTS Black) are protected against moisture with premium body housing and sealing elements, and the circuit boards are sealed with nanopaint.
-
Are RaceChip modules able to work at high heat and/or temperatures?
RaceChip can be used worry-free at high temperatures. We have sold a large quantity of our products in hot and tropical areas like Southeast Asia, Australia and the Arabian peninsula for many years. The same goes for cold climates like Northern Europe.
-
I've found a few negative opinions of RaceChip on the internet. Are these true?
There are a few vehicles where RaceChip doesn't work as desired, even though the product supplied was specially programmed for the respective engine. This is usually explained by the fact that identical engines ex-works are subject to a certain degree of spread within standard factory models. If the engine deviates too far from the standard in factory condition, then, in a few exceptional cases, our product may not function optimally. However, these are absolute exceptions. Even in such cases our technical service can usually adjust the software so that the desired results are achieved. If we are unable to adjust our product, then as a customer you will, of course, receive a refund of the purchase price.
-
If chip tuning works, then why don't car manufacturers just make it themselves?
Manufacturers use the same principle. For example, the engine components of a BMW 318d, 320d and 325d are identical. These vehicles are only configured differently through software via the vehicle's control device. Additionally, even top engines provide power reserves for future developments. These robust component layouts provide an excellent opportunity for RaceChip to optimize their settings.
-
Daha fazla güce rağmen yakıttan tasarruf edebilir miyim? Bu nasıl çalışıyor?
Evet, uyarlanmış sürüş davranışı ile RaceChip yakıt tüketimini büyük ölçüde azaltabilir. öncelikle düşük ve orta RPM aralığında gerçekleşen artan tork, şanzımanınızın vites büyütmesine izin verir daha erken, yani aracınız daha düşük bir toplam RPM değeri ile sürülür.
-
What exactly is Eco tuning?
Eco tuning optimizes a vehicle's motor control to provide high torque very early on. This increased torque allows your transmission to upshift sooner, so that your vehicle drives with a lower overall RPM value. This results in fuel savings, often together with improved power output.
-
Can my RaceChip be set in such a way that I get maximum reduction in fuel consumption?
Yes. A vehicle's motor controls can be optimized in such a way that high torque is achieved early on. This increased torque allows your transmission to upshift sooner, so that your vehicle drives with a lower overall RPM value.
This results in fuel savings. A decisive factor is adapting your driving style with quick acceleration, upshifting as soon as possible (consciously activate gear shifts even with automatic transmissions) and provident driving style. -
How is my maximum speed affected?
The maximum speed may increase somewhat, but that is not the goal of our development. Much more, we place value on the improved acceleration capacity of the vehicle. In addition, we do not activate at high torque in order to avoid strain spikes on the components.
-
How do supplementary control devices differ from ECU tuning?
ECU tuning changes the software on the vehicle's own control unit, allowing it to read and change many of the vehicle's parameters. Often, the forcible opening of the unit is necessary. ECU tuning can only be reversed by completely deleting the controls. Manufacturers and dealers can recognise this procedure!
In contrast, the RaceChip's supplementary control unit is installed between the motor sensors and the vehicle's controls. It influences relevant values for our optimization and can be uninstalled at any time. The vehicle is then returned to original condition. -
Is there anything special I should watch for after optimization?
Yes! Notice more powerful thrust in your vehicle even at low RPM and adapt your driving style accordingly! Further, you should follow general recommendations for driving your vehicle. In particular, you should not use the engine's full capacity during the first few miles but rather after a warm-up period for your vehicle.
Otherwise there are no special restrictions! -
Which fuel type should I use after the performance improvement?
RaceChip products tuning takes place on every vehicle with the fuel recommended by the manufacturer.
In petrol engines, it may be conducive to use a higher octane fuel, such as 98 octane or higher, for maximum power output. This reduces the risk of knocking (spontaneous ignition of the mix in the cylinder). -
Are the optimization systems suitable for vehicles with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions standards (EC 715/2007)?
Yes. The functions of RaceChip products are tested and proven even with the latest products on the market.
-
Can an supplementary control device negatively affect other components or after-market parts in my vehicle?
All our products undergo an EMV inspection, which serves to rule out the possibility of electro-magnetic effects on other components.
We cannot rule out incompatibilities in combination with other retrofitted components that may influence performance values. We advise contacting our Customer Service staff if you have queries. It is possible to individually customize the RaceChip product to a customer vehicle.
-
Chip tuning motoruma daha fazla baskı yapar mı?
Evet. Motor daha fazla tork ve güç geliştirir ve bu da yükü arttırır.
Ancak: motorlarda ki daha fazla güç üreticisi tarafından tasarlanır. Bu, üreticinin daha yüksek performans seviyeleri sunmasını ve gelecekteki gelişmeleri mevcut bileşenlere kolayca entegre etmesini sağlar. Ayrıca artan zorlanma sadece tam güç kullanımı sırasında ortaya çıkar.
RaceChip yalnızca güce gerçekten ihtiyacınız olduğunda ortaya çıkar (örn. İvme sırasında), debriyaj, şanzıman ve fren gibi bileşenler teknik açıdan ihtiyatlı seviyelere itilir. Tüm koruyucu işlevler (yani acil durum programları) bozulmadan kalır. Özellikle motor tuning yapılmış araçlarda tahrik kayışı bakımı ve yağ değişimleri gibi aracın düzenli bakımının yapılması önerilir.
Düzgün bir şekilde kullanıldığında, motor ömür beklentisinde herhangi bir azalma yoktur.
Eksiksiz güç çıkışı kullanılırsa, motor üzerindeki yük artar. Öte yandan, toplam dev / dak seviyesi ve sonuçtaki motor içindeki sürtünme, optimize edilmiş tork davranışı ile düşürülebilir. -
What should I know before taking my vehicle to a garage for servicing?
We generally recommend removing the RaceChip module before servicing so as to allow the garage to perform work on a standard series vehicle.
We also wish to point out that some manufacturers, when performing a readout of the vehicle's memory, also analyse relevant vehicle performance data, and in doing so they may try to determine whether a performance enhancement has been installed. In the case of OBD tuning (i.e. an active alteration of the manufacturer's software), the presence of a performance enhancement can be determined and verified. But with RaceChip technology (an additional control unit) the manufacturer's hardware and software remain unchanged. If chip tuning is not located in the engine, then the data can only hint at an electronic performance enhancement. Similar data can also be produced, in some cases, by series production deviations on the part of the manufacturer.
There are no special guidelines you need to observe for a servicing at a garage because, with a RaceChip performance enhancement, all manufacturer systems remain unchanged.
After servicing, you can simply re-install the RaceChip. -
Does a performance-enhanced engine need to be maintained more frequently at a garage?
No. The factory stipulated maintenance intervals remain unchanged.
-
Should I expect higher maintenance costs for a performance-enhanced engine?
No, RaceChip performance enhancement does not create more frequent or extensive maintenance. Maintenance costs are equal to those of vehicles without performance enhancement.
-
Should I use a special oil in performance-enhanced engines?
RaceChip products adapt to every vehicle with the lubricants recommended by the manufacturer. These manufacturer recommendations must be followed.
-
Dizel partikül filtreleri ile birlikte bir RaceChip de kullanabilir miyim?
RaceChip, dizel partikül filtreleri ile endişesiz kullanılabilir. Modüllerimiz DPF'li seri araçlarda da sorunsuz bir şekilde kullanılmak üzere tasarlanmıştır.
-
Are there any limitations on the use of biofuels (e.g., E10)?
No, biofuels can still be used as long as they are authorized by the vehicle manufacturer.
-
With enhanced performance, do I need to have my brakes adjusted?
No, adjusting the brake system is not necessary, as there is no increased strain on the brakes with regular driving behavior.
-
Does the diagnostic device show that performance enhancement has been installed?
No. A diagnostic device only reads the data stored in the vehicle's own motor controls. RaceChip does not access the engine controls in any way.
Sometimes diagnostic devices show error messages from the controls. This cannot be traced back to the installation of a RaceChip product, however. -
Is there a product warranty for my chip?
The following product warranties come with our products:
• RaceChip S: 2 years
• RaceChip RS: 3 years
• RaceChip GTS & RaceChip GTS Black: 5 years
In addition, RaceChip offers engine warranties:
• RaceChip RS: 1 year
• RaceChip GTS and RaceChip GTS Black: 2 years -
Will my manufacturer's engine warranty remain unaffected?
If the RaceChip and all related components are removed prior to visiting a garage, then the vehicle is once again in standard factory condition and tuning is no longer detectable.
-

-
Does a RaceChip performance upgrade mean the vehicle registration documents have to be changed?
Generally, insurance companies do not change a car’s classification after it has undergone a RaceChip performance upgrade. However, you should check with your own insurer, as there may be special regulations.
-
Wie genau funktioniert eine Eintragung beim TüV?
Der TüV-Prüfer stellt auf Basis des Teilegutachtens einen ordnungsgemäßen Einbau des Chiptunings sicher. Erfüllt der Einbau sowie das verbaute Chiptuning-Produkt alle im Teilegutachten genannten Voraussetzungen, so stellt der Prüfer eine eine Bescheinigung aus (eine Eintragung nach StVZO §19.3). Mit dieser Bescheinigung erhält das Fahrzeug dann eine entsprechende Betriebserlaubnis. Die Modifikation kann dann auf der Zulassungsstelle auch noch in die Fahrzeugpapiere eingetragen werden.
-
Kann ich meine Leistungssteigerung auch ohne Gutachten eintragen lassen?
Auch eine Eintragung ohne Gutachten ist möglich. In diesem Fall muss eine Einzelabnahme beim TüV bzw. Prüfinstitut durchgeführt werden. Bitte informieren Sie sich beim entsprechenden Institut über die Vorgehensweise vor Ort, da diese sich jeweils unterscheiden kann.
-
What should I know about exhaust inspections with enhanced performance?
There is nothing special to note. The emissions inspection is carried out with a diagnostic plug in modern vehicles that reads the values from the vehicle controls. These are not changed by RaceChip products.
-
What happens to my insurance coverage after performance improvement?
After installing performance improvement equipment, your insurance cover should remain in valid. However, you should inform your insurance company of the modification.
-
Which documents does my insurance need for approval?
Depends on the General Terms and Conditions of your insurance:
- Some accept chip use notification free of charge Some accept chip use notification with a fee
Some accept only products that are certified by a product testing organisation

Please contact our technical customer support.
What should I do if the control plug doesn't illuminate, even though I'm sure I've done the installation correctly?
Please contact our technical customer support. If the LED does not light up, this can have various causes.
Tuning’i kaldırabilir ve aracımı eski şartlara geri getirebilir miyim?
Evet! RaceChip ürününü tamamen kaldırdıktan ve tüm fiş bağlantıları orijinal haliyle bağlandıktan sonra araç eski halindedir.
Is my vehicle really in series condition after uninstalling Racechip?
Yes. after complete removal you cannot tell whether an auxiliary device was installed in the engine compartment.
With other types of tuning (such as ECU), the engine's control software is directly and recognisably overwritten.
How do I remove the plug in the event of deinstallation?
The plug is affixed with a simple locking mechanism at the sensor. Loosen this latch and the plug can be pulled off easily.
Why does the manufacturer's plug look different from the plug you delivered?
Sometimes the plug delivered looks a little different than the vehicle's plugs. However, the plugs can still connect together without any problem and the technical function of the connector will not be affected because we use OEM quality plugs.
What should I do if I feel that my RaceChip is not perfectly in tune with my engine?
In this case we ask you to send us a detailed description of the driving changes after installing the RaceChip. We will then find a solution for you.
Is it possible that my vehicle shudders a little more with a RaceChip?
Diesels do not usuall shudder more after installing RaceChip. In fact, most vehicles run more smoothly when RaceChip is installed. If your car shudders more please contact our customer service.
What should I do if my vehicle jerks a little after installation?
In this situation it's necessary to tell us exactly which driving situation and at which load range and RPM range the jerking occurs. By changing the two rotary switches on your RaceChip, we can adjust these precisely for your vehicle's characteristics.
What should I do if I feel the performance enhancement is less than I expected?
In general, RaceChip products are optimally engineered for every vehicle. In exceptional cases the following steps can be taken:
There are two rotary switches on the circuit board of RaceChip products that allow you to increase or reduce RaceChip output after installation. However, this should only be done in close collaboration with our customer service.
Is it possible that the RaceChip in my car provides less performance enhancement than my friend's with the same model?
Yes. Decisive for performance enhancement is the engine condition as well as the spread for factory standard models on the production side. Every engine is different with regard to these characteristics, and the response to the RaceChip can be just as diffe
What should I do if my vehicle won't start after installation?
In this case we ask you to contact our customer service by email or phone. Our technicians will guide you through the necessary steps in order to troubleshoot and fix the problem quickly. This problem usually arises from an improper installation location, incorrectly shipped cable harness, or not following each installation step.
What should I do if my vehicle displays an error message after installation?
An error light directly after starting the engine can have various causes. RaceChip itself cannot cause an error message in this situation, however, as it is inactive during start and idle. If you have this problem, please contact our customer service. This will allow us to quickly identify and correct the problem.
What should I do if the motor control lights turn on?
When the engine control light shows, it signals deviations in the motor controls from normal conditions. Often this can be fixed by changing the rotary switch adjustments. You'll find the suitable adjustments to correct problems in your installation manual.
If these steps don't remedy the problem, then please contact our customer service.
Is it possible that my vehicle computer displays slightly incorrect values after installation?
Yes. Sometimes the fuel consumption values, for example, are incorrect. This happens because RaceChip is connected directly on the injection system sensor. Accordingly, the board computer calculates its values in part from a mix of series and RaceChip adjusted values.
When should I install performance enhancement in a new vehicle?
You can use RaceChip regardless of the number of miles on your vehicle. Many dealerships who cooperate with us install RaceChip on new vehicles sold starting with the first mile.
In all cases, new vehicles should be driven according to the manufacturer's running-in rules.
We also have many customers who have installed their RaceChip over 200,000 kilometers and are very happy with the results.
Can I use RaceChip chip tuning in my leased car?
There is technically nothing against it. Please check with your leasing conditions and decide accordingly.
Can I use RaceChip chip tuning in my company car?
There is technically nothing against it. Please check your conditions and decide accordingly.
RaceChip products are very easy to install and uninstall.
Can I use RaceChip chip tuning in my used car?
Yes. All RaceChip products are suitable for both new and used cars and work just as well on either one.
Between which odometer readings can I use the RaceChip?
RaceChip can be used regardless of the number of miles on the clock. However, for vehicles with high values, get regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that no latent defects are present.
For new vehicles, manufacturer stipulated running-in rules must be followed.
How do I know if my vehicle has common rail or pump nozzle units?
Because pump nozzle injection systems were built through 2009, the initial registration date for your vehicle should be a good indicator. Special cases do arise, however. For exact identification, please send us a photo of your engine (without the cover).
RaceChip XLR tam olarak ne yapar?
Modern araçlar elektronik gaz pedalı kullanıyor. Üretici, pedalın konumu ile motorda gaz kelebeği açıklığı arasındaki ilişkiyi tanımlar ve pedal hareketi genellikle biraz gecikmiş, uyuşuk bir yanıt oluşturur. Burada RaceChip XLR gelir:
RaceChip XLR'nin 7 tuning aşaması, motorunuzun yanıtlarını keyfinize göre ayarlayabilmenizi sağlar. Rahat, yakıt tasarruflu reaksiyonlardan, bir spor otomobilinde olduğu gibi keskin ve istekli tepkilere kolayca geçebilirsiniz.
RaceChip XLR'yi RaceChip'in chip tuning ürünlerinden farklı yapan şey nedir?
RaceChip XLR, motorunuzun gücünü değiştirmez, ancak motorun yanıt verme özelliğini değiştirir. Sadece bir düğmeye dokunarak daha doğrudan güce erişebilirsiniz; bu XLR, RaceChip'in chip tuning modülleri için ideal eştir. Ancak XLR ayrıca tek başına bir ürün olarak da mükemmel bir şekilde çalışır.
What makes RaceChip XLR different from other manufacturers’ throttle tuning products?
RaceChip XLR is different from other manufacturers’ throttle tuning products in several ways:
Functional: XLR uses a state of the art processor that enables signals to be monitored and optimised with a high degree of accuracy. It is the only module on that market with a watchdog supervising its own functionality.
Design and operation: RaceChip XLR’s design means it is easy and intuitive to use. The Controller with its rotating control lets the driver select one of the seven tuning stages available. As an additional feature, it is possible to control XLR from the RaceChip app as well.
XLR arabamın güç çıkışını arttırıyor mu?
Hayır. Gaz tuning motorun performansını hiç değiştirmez. Bu, gücü daha doğrudan erişilebilir ve daha keyifli hale getirir.
What is the benefit of increased throttle response?
