About the remap

Stage 1 chip tuning for the Subaru Forester 2.0 XT 240hp increases power from 240 to 271 hp (+31 hp, +13%) and torque from 350 to 410 Nm. Turbocharged petrol engines respond exceptionally well to ECU optimization – adjusting ignition timing, boost pressure, and fueling maps unlocks the hidden potential built in by the manufacturer.

The remap is performed on the Hitachi DEF002-XXX ECU (engine code FA20) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. We use Alientech KESSv2, ByteShooter Toolbox, MagicMotorsport Flex. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
