I would like to increase the performance of my car by increasing its power or torque. What do I need to do that?

secondly where would I get the software to update my cars computer?

Good morning,

The software is from the factory web site. You would need an advanced scan tool and access to the manufacturers web site to perform an update. It would be cheaper to have someone perform this for you.

As far as performance, you will need to do some engine work such as throttle body and exhaust as a start. It will give some better performance but most will happen when you rebuild the motor and use different pistons and camshafts.

I leave in Uganda where you don't find people who do this and this could be a good start for a business for me. I am a software specialist and its in my line of specialty. So any guidance I can follow through to explore this possibility and what advanced scan tool do you recommend?

Snap on Apollo. It works on all cars and trucks and has the ability to flash modules.

No, I would not recommend them. Most of them have no effect at all.
