    Chip tuning is a real thing that simply remap the injection/ignition timing to deliver more power. This is done by ignoring emissions regulations, engine wear, and fuel consumption in favor of power.

    It doesn’t involve changing parts of the engine. But often the reverse is true where changing engine parts will need you to chip tune the car in order to make use of the new parts.
