About this job

The results

Power went from 115hp to 135hp, an increase of 20hp or around 17%.

Torque rose from 270Nm to 330Nm (+60Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.

What the work involved

A Stage 1 remap is a software calibration for an otherwise standard car. We refine parameters such as boost, fuelling, ignition timing and torque limits within safe margins, so it pulls harder through the mid-range without any hardware changes.

How we carried it out

  • Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
  • Stabilised power supply connected while programming
  • Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
  • Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards
