Software-only performance upgrade

Stage 1 Remap

From £160
Stage 1 Remap

Overview

Every modern engine is controlled by software, and manufacturers tune that software for the average of everything — average fuel quality, average climates, average drivers. A Stage 1 remap replaces those compromises with a calibration written for your specific vehicle, staying within the tolerances the engine was engineered for.

Because Stage 1 is software-only, there's no need for hardware upgrades — it's the ideal first step for a standard, daily-driven vehicle. Most cars are completed within a few hours, and your original factory file is stored so the remap can be reversed at any time.

Results vary between vehicles — we'll give you an honest expectation for your make and model before you book. Remember to declare the modification to your insurance provider.

  • Full vehicle health check before any tuning begins
  • Custom ECU calibration written for your exact vehicle
