What we do
Chip tuning (increase engine power)
Chip tuning for naturally aspirated gasoline engines with power increase up to 10%.
Chip tuning for turbocharged gasoline engines with power increase up to 20-40%.
Chip tuning for diesel engines with power increase up to 20-40%.
Eco tuning for trucks.
Pricing depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
Starting from 1500 MDL
EVAP removal and fix the fuel tank error
The EVAP system is designed to capture gasoline vapors through a charcoal canister – an adsorber. This is a very common issue in cars imported from the United States. We eliminate EVAP both software-wise and physically.
The cost of this service depends on the make and model of the vehicle
Starting from 1000 MDL
Disabling EGR valve
The cost depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
Starting from 1500 MDL
Euro 2 firmware and catalytic converter removal
Consultation and free diagnostics.
Removal of the catalytic converter followed by Euro 2 firmware installation.
Vehicle firmware adjustment to Euro 2 standards for disabling oxygen sensors (lambda sensors).
Pricing depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
Starting from 1500 MDL
Deactivation and removal of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (FAP/DPF) is designed to clean vehicle exhaust gases from solid particles.
AUTOHUB Chip Tuning specialists will disable the particulate filter quickly, efficiently, and with a guarantee.
Pricing depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
Starting from 1500 MDL
AdBlue urea system removal for trucks and passenger vehicles
Stricter environmental regulations have forced car manufacturers to implement more advanced technologies to reduce harmful emissions. One such technology is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which operates with a liquid reagent—urea (AdBlue).
The majority of requests come from owners of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, and other European brands.
Pricing depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
Starting from 1500 MDL
Deactivation of swirl flaps
Swirl flap deactivation is performed by reprogramming the engine's electronic control unit. The program disables swirl flap diagnostics, and the flaps remain permanently either closed or open (depending on the engine type).
Pricing depends on the make and model of the vehicle.

What is chip tuning and ECU remapping
Chip tuning means reprogramming the engine control unit (ECU) to unlock power and torque the engine already has in reserve. We read the factory firmware, recalibrate it for a safe gain and write it back, keeping the original so the car can be returned to stock.
Stage 1 — remap without hardware changes
Stage 1 is a remap on a standard, unmodified engine. It typically adds +15–30% power and torque, improves throttle response and can optimise fuel consumption — all within the factory safety margin, without touching the hardware.
Stage 2 — remap for upgraded hardware
Stage 2 is for cars with hardware upgrades — downpipe, intercooler, sport air filter and so on. The firmware is matched to the modified hardware to extract more power safely. We discuss the right stage for your goals before we start.
EGR delete
The EGR valve recirculates exhaust gases and over time clogs the intake, causing power loss and fault codes. Disabling the EGR in software removes these problems; we always explain the legal and roadworthiness implications beforehand.
Diesel particulate filter delete (DPF/FAP)
A clogged DPF/FAP leads to power loss, higher fuel consumption and an expensive replacement. We disable the particulate filter in software, quickly and with a guarantee, and explain the implications for emissions testing beforehand.
Chip tuning by make
We do chip tuning for most makes and engines — BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota and others, both petrol and diesel, naturally aspirated and turbocharged. Tell us the make, model and engine and we will calculate the result and the price.
How chip tuning works, step by step
The work follows clear steps: diagnostics, reading the factory firmware, calibration, writing the new firmware and a test drive. We keep the original firmware at every step, so the tuning is fully reversible.
Frequently asked questions about chip tuning in Chisinau
Does chip tuning damage the engine?
Properly done chip tuning within the factory safety margin does not harm the engine. The risk comes from aggressive, poor-quality remaps; we calibrate carefully and keep the gains within safe limits for the engine.
Can the factory firmware be restored? Is chip tuning reversible?
Yes, chip tuning is reversible. We always keep the original ECU firmware and can put the car back to stock whenever you ask.
How much power does chip tuning add (Stage 1 / Stage 2)?
Stage 1 usually adds +15–30% power and torque depending on the engine; turbo and diesel engines respond best. Stage 2, with hardware upgrades, can give more. The exact figure depends on the specific car.
Will I keep my warranty after chip tuning?
On a new car under manufacturer warranty, a remap may affect warranty cover for the powertrain. Cars out of warranty have no such restriction; we discuss each case individually before starting.
What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?
Stage 1 is a remap on a stock engine without hardware changes; Stage 2 is for cars with hardware upgrades (downpipe, intercooler, etc.) and is matched to those modifications for more power.
How long does the remap take?
A typical Stage 1 remap takes a few hours, including diagnostics, reading, calibration, writing and a test. More complex projects or hardware-matched tuning may take longer.
