A remap does not have to mean chasing the biggest possible power figure. Depending on what you want from your car, the same tuning skill can be aimed at economy, performance, or a balance of the two.
The economy remap
An economy remap focuses on improving low-down torque and drivability so the engine works less hard at everyday speeds. Driven sensibly, this can improve fuel economy while making the car more relaxed to drive.
The performance remap
A performance remap prioritises stronger power and torque across the range for a more responsive, engaging drive. Economy can still improve if you drive the same way, but the focus is on how the car performs.
Choosing between them comes down to:
- How you mostly use the car day to day
- Whether economy or outright performance matters more
- Whether you tow or carry heavy loads
- The balance of relaxed cruising vs responsiveness you want

Key takeaways
- A remap can target economy, performance or a balance.
- An economy file focuses on torque and relaxed drivability.
- A performance file prioritises stronger power and response.
- The right choice depends on how you use your car.
Frequently asked questions
Can an economy remap really save fuel?
Driven sensibly, yes. By improving low-down torque the engine works less hard at everyday speeds, which can improve economy — though driving style still has the biggest effect.
Can I have both economy and performance?
To a degree, yes. A balanced file can improve response and drivability while still helping economy when you drive the same way. We tune to whichever goal matters most to you.
