Stage 1, Stage 2 & Stage 3 Tuning?

When it comes to tuning / remapping, different stages correspond to the level of modifications made to your vehicle. Each stage is designed to meet specific performance goals, from a mild improvement to a full-performance upgrade. Here's a breakdown of what each stage involves:

Stage 1 Remapping

What It Involves: Stage 1 remapping is the most common and straightforward option. It focuses on optimising the vehicle’s factory settings without needing any major hardware modifications.

Benefits:

  • Increases power and torque for a more responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
  • Improves fuel efficiency by adjusting the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing.
  • Suitable for most standard vehicles with no major modifications.

Ideal For: Those who want a simple power boost and better efficiency without needing extensive modifications.

Stage 2 Remapping

What It Involves: Stage 2 remapping builds on Stage 1 by adding hardware modifications, such as a performance air filter, upgraded exhaust system, or a larger intercooler. These upgrades support the increased power demands of the engine.

Benefits:

  • More significant power and torque gains compared to Stage 1.
  • Improved engine breathing and exhaust flow, resulting in better overall performance.
  • Increased efficiency, especially for modified vehicles with upgraded parts.

Ideal For: Owners who have already made performance modifications to their vehicle and want to optimise the new setup.

Stage 3 Remapping

What It Involves: Stage 3 remapping is for vehicles with extensive modifications, such as upgraded turbochargers, larger injectors, and a custom-built exhaust system. It requires comprehensive tuning and often involves more specialised parts.

Benefits:

  • Major performance gains in both power and torque.
  • Maximises the potential of significant hardware upgrades, including turbo and engine modifications.
  • Optimised for high-performance vehicles, offering a more aggressive tune and enhanced engine capabilities.

Ideal For: Enthusiasts looking for the highest level of performance, typically in cars that have undergone extensive modification for racing or high-performance street use.
