As car manufacturers build just a few base engines and differentiate the power output via the electronic control unit (ECU), unlocking more horsepower now becomes just a matter of a software upgrade. This is where RaceChip comes in.

Regarded as Europe’s most trusted plug-and-play upgrade, RaceChip can unlock 30 percent more horsepower and torque in both gasoline and diesel turbocharged cars.

Designed and engineered in Germany, RaceChip optimizes several vehicle parameters such as injection pressure, airflow, and the like, without bypassing any of the existing engine protection systems.

Installation can be done in just 10 to 15 minutes. It’s a true plug-and-play system, meaning a RaceChip-tuned vehicle can be reverted back to stock at any time.

RaceChip started in 2008. Today, they ship more than 100,000 units annually.

The basic RaceChip S tuning package starts at P 15,000. With six tuning mappings, the RaceChip RS is at P 25,000, while the RaceChip GTS, with a guaranteed 25 percent horsepower gain and seven tuning maps is pegged at P 35,000.

RaceChip is available at Drift Xaust at Valley Fair Center, Ortigas Avenue Extension, Taytay, Rizal. For details, contact 0917 464 6222.
