Chip tuning involves modifying the vehicle's hardware, typically by replacing the chip in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to improve performance metrics.
In contrast, ECU remapping entails altering the software within the existing ECU to optimize engine performance without hardware changes.
While both methods aim to increase power and efficiency, the choice between them depends on specific vehicle requirements and desired outcomes.
