Why would I need DTC deletes for performance tuning?
When fine-tuning the performance of a vehicle, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may trigger Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that can restrict performance or illuminate warning lights. DTC deletes offer the ability to disable specific fault codes, ensuring optimal vehicle operation when utilizing hardware upgrades.

How does DTC removal benefit my vehicle's performance?
By disabling specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), your vehicle can fully leverage the advantages of performance upgrades while preventing the Engine Control Unit (ECU) from falsely detecting faults. This allows your vehicle to operate seamlessly, optimizing performance and functionality without any negative repercussions.

Can you disable specific DTCs?
Our DTC remover is designed to disable a range of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). One example is P0420, which indicates 'low catalyst system efficiency' often caused by sports cat or de-cat fitments. Additionally, we have the capability to disable DTCs associated with swirl flaps, intake flaps, EGR valves, DPFs, speed limiters, and stop-start systems.

Is removing the speed limiter legal?
It is important to note that removing the speed limiter from your vehicle is legal, provided that you comply with all traffic laws and speed limits established by your local authorities. It is crucial to drive responsibly and prioritize the safety of yourself and others on the road.

Why should I remove the speed limiter on my vehicle?
Removing the speed limiter on your vehicle can improve its performance and enable you to reach its maximum speed. This is particularly attractive to racing enthusiasts or those seeking a more thrilling and responsive driving experience.
