PERFORMANCE AND
RESTORATIVE TUNING
ADVANCED VEHICLE
At NOVO we now offer custom engine and transmission tuning, using Dynapack Dynamometers. These are hub mounted dynos that eliminate the loss experienced by wheel slip, compared to traditional rolling floor dynos. This increases sensitivity and leads to incredibly accurate run to run results.
On top of our custom tuning software we offer additional hardware and software changes such as:
- Turbo internals upgrades
- Activate Launch Control ( dependant on ecu models )
- Sports display Calibration
- Speed limiter removal
- Custom ECU and TCU remapping ( RPM limit change, Burbles/Overrun, eco tuning for improved fuel economy )
- Extensive Diesel Tuning Services

Torque Increase
Torque is a crucial part of generating power from a car’s engine, as it represents the load an engine can handle to generate a certain amount of power to rotate the engine on its axis.
Diesel engines provide more torque at low engine revs whereas petrol engines provide more torque at higher engine revs.
A high torque enables efficient and energy-saving driving. A high engine power enables a car to accelerate quickly and reach a high top speed.

Power Increase
Performance optimisation is a way to get more power out of your car's engine. When vehicles leave the factory, they have common engines and systems.
Electronic diesel tuning lets you get the most out of your engine. It's one of the best ways to unleash the full potential of your engine's horsepower. The process also optimizes the engine for your driving conditions.

Better Fuel Economy
One other advantage is optimised fuel efficiency and the ability to enhance the power of your vehicle. This occurs when you fine-tune the fuel injection rate and time, which encourages a more efficient fuel burn to produce more power.
Fuel can also be saved if it is pressure-sensitive. This improves the efficiency of the diesel-air mixture in the engine. When driving in a higher gear, this extra fuel efficiency comes in handy because the motor is programmed to rev less, resulting in less fuel being injected as you sit in that higher gear.

Is It Safe?
While engine remaps can result in surprising performance boosts, professional mechanics can modify your car to complement your driving style.
This means there’s no risk of reducing the lifespan of your engine. ECU remapping does not damage or replace any engine parts; it simply changes the way your engine works, and won’t add any more stress.

Diesel Tuning
Novo AVS specialises in diesel tuning with a deep understand of the mechanics and capabilities of modern diesel engines. Diesel engine tuning allows for increased power across the mid - high rev range whilst retaining and further developing the diesel’s powerful low rev torque. Tuning a diesel engine can result in better fuel economy, greater power gains across the entire rev range and prolong the health of your diesel engine. Our stage 1 ECU and TCU diesel tuning packages can give up to 40% power gains whilst retaining original factory engine parts. This does not cause harm to the engine rather utilises the full potential of these already quality parts inside your European vehicle.
Testimonials
“George from Novo tuned my 2018 VW Multivan, increasing the overall power by 25%. I was nervous about increased fuel consumption so I kept track of the consumption before and after the tune. I didn’t see any loss in range across a period of 2-3 months and the extra power is awesome.”
Daniel - Diesel Tune
“I took my BMW here for a service and a tune. The team must be the most knowledgable mechanics in Sydney. Best service I’ve experienced and I honestly intoxicated by the performance of my car since my visit. Thanks Novo, looking forward to next time.”
Chris - Stage 1 Tune
Very professional and super friendly team with excellent communication with the customer. I had my S3 tuned (along with the supply and install of some performance exhaust parts) by the team at NOVO and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.
Tony - Stage 2 Tune

NOVO’S COMPLETE PERFORMANCE TUNING LIST
-
Engine tuning refers to the modification of the operating parameters of the engine control unit to achieve a set goal. Usually an increase in power, decrease in fuel consumption or both. This is achieved by locating and modifying the sections of the engines software (referred to as engine maps) that control the turbo, injection and ignition, torque output and torque limiters.
Using our dyno and advance datalogging power increase of up to 40% can be achieved on standard vehicles. Higher increases can be achieved using a combination of hardware modifications and software tuning.
-
Just like your engine ecu, transmission control units (TCU) can be tuned to achieve a set goal. Adjusting the transmission allows for significant changes to the way your vehicle drives. Just some of the benefits include:
Shift time reduction.
Rev limit adjustments.
Launch control Adjustment/ Activation.
Increase torque limitations.
Shift point adjustments for a more exciting drive.
Oil Pressure adjustment to extend the life of your transmission.
-
By adjusting the fuel cut off delay and ignition timing of your engines tuning maps we can create a sportier and more aggressive exhaust tone.
As you lift your foot off the throttle, your exhaust starts popping, crackling and gurgling, which adds a whole lot of fun and character to your driving experience.
-
The exhaust flap is a valve installed on the rear of your exhaust system. Its job is to reduce exhaust noise, especially on idle. By disabling this flap we can create a deep but subtle exhaust tone without any exhaust modifications.
-
Everyone knows how annoying and dangerous the start stop system can be. Especially since you need to disable it every time you start your vehicle. We can now permanently turn your start stop system off saving you the hassle of having to switch it off yourself.
-
Late model BMWs have sport gauges that display horsepower and torque. These gauges generally need to be recalibrated to display the correct values after the vehicle is tuned.
-
The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) performs the function of filtering fine particles in your exhaust system. While these systems need to stay in place to satisfy pollution laws, there are situations where their removal is not only legal but also necessary (for example race or off road vehicles).
The benefits of removing the DPF system are the following:
Increased power.
Increase in fuel efficiency.
Better exhaust tone.
At NOVO we can supply DPF removal services for most diesels.
-
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) performs the function of recirculating your exhaust gases back into your intake system. This has a positive effect on reducing emissions and fuel consumption in your vehicle. While this system needs to stay in place to satisfy pollution laws, there are situations where their removal is not only legal but also necessary (for example race or off road vehicles).
The benefits of removing the EGR system are the following:
Reduced soot build-up in your intake manifold and ports.
The EGR system is very prone to failure. Removal has the benefit of lower maintenance costs.
Less oil contamination.
At NOVO we can supply EGR removal services for most diesels.
-
The AdBlue system performs the function of spraying a solution into your exhaust system that’s reduces harmful pollutants. This has a positive effect on reducing emissions in your vehicle. While this system needs to stay in place to satisfy pollution laws, there are situations where their removal is not only legal but also necessary (for example race or off road vehicles).
The benefits of removing the AdBlue system are the following:
Removes the need for constant AdBlue refills.
The AdBlue system is very prone to failure. Removal has the benefit of lower maintenance costs.
At NOVO we can supply AdBlue removal services for most diesels. (Specifically for off-road, and or race vehicles)
