What is a Stage 1 remap?

A Stage 1 remap is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants more from their car, van or 4x4 without changing a single part. We rewrite the software inside your engine control unit (ECU) to unlock performance the manufacturer left on the table for markets, emissions targets and service intervals around the world.

Every Stage 1 file is genuinely custom-written and tested in-house by our own calibration engineers. That means real, usable gains delivered smoothly and safely, all within the standard limits of your engine, gearbox and clutch, and backed by our lifetime software warranty.

The benefits

What you can expect

More power & torque

Noticeably stronger acceleration and pulling power, especially in the mid-range where you use it most on the road.

Sharper throttle response

The car feels more eager and alert, with less lag and a more connected, engaging drive.

Improved fuel economy

Extra low-down torque means less effort to maintain speed, which can improve MPG when driven sensibly.

Safe, tested limits

Calibrated to stay well within the safe operating range of your standard engine and drivetrain.
