tuning works by either physically installing performance-enhancing upgrades or by electronically remapping the engine’s characteristics to increase your car’s torque and horsepower.Of course, that obviously doesn’t cover everything, but it gives us a place to start. Let’s look at a few examples to better understand tuning.
When you install a cold air intake in your Volkswagen Rabbit, for instance, you are mechanically improving airflow and engine performance, which leads to a noticeable increase in horsepower and fuel efficiency.
In contrast, electronically tuning your Volkswagen Rabbit entails modifying or reprogramming the engine control unit’s (ECU) stock characteristics. With a handheld tuner, the ECU can be accessed to electronically alter variables like fuel pressure and valve timing.
Make sure your Volkswagen Rabbit is covered by the proper insurance policy with licensed
