Factory settings are a compromise.
We rewrite your car's calibration for more power, more torque and smoother delivery, at your door.

Why remap
Every engine leaves the factory set up for every market, every fuel and every driver. We set yours up for you, and keep a copy of the original so it can always go back.
Why remap your car
More power where you drive
Most of a Stage 1 gain sits in the mid-range, so joining fast roads and overtaking take less effort.
Easier towing and loading
More torque low down pulls a trailer, caravan or full van with fewer downshifts.
Better economy
An Eco map is set up for mpg rather than outright power. Popular with vans, fleets and high-mileage drivers.
Smoother to drive
Throttle response and delivery are calibrated for your engine, so the car answers when you ask it to.
A quicker gearbox
Gearbox tuning gives automatics and DSGs quicker, firmer shifts, with torque limits matched to the engine.
Always reversible
We save your car's original software before anything changes, so it can always go back to standard.
What a remap changes
No new parts. A new map.
A remap is software. Scroll on to see what it rewrites.
-
01
ECU
The engine's computer. We read its original software and save it before anything changes.
-
02
Boost
On turbo engines, the boost the engine asks for, raised within what the turbo can take.
-
03
Fuelling
How much fuel the injectors deliver, and when, to match the extra air.
-
04
Ignition
On petrol engines, when the spark fires, set for the fuel you use.
-
05
Torque limits
The ceilings the factory map puts on torque, set to suit your engine and gearbox.
-
06
Throttle
How the pedal turns into power, so the car answers as soon as you ask.
-
07
Gearbox
With gearbox tuning: quicker shifts, and torque limits matched to the new map.

What it costs
One price per map. Gearbox tuning and add-ons are £50 each on top, and a £50 deposit secures your booking and comes off the final bill.
| On its own | With add-ons | With gearbox tuning | With both | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | £250 | £300 | £300 | £350 |
| Stage 2 | £300 | £350 | £350 | £400 |
| Economy | £250 | £300 | £300 | £350 |
- Gearbox tuning on its own£300
- Add-ons on their own£250
- Unlocking an ECUOn request
- Back to standard, if we mapped it£100
- Back to standard, mapped elsewhere£250
- Health check on its own£50
- Diagnostic plans, per carFrom £20 a month
Health check: included with every remap. On its own it's £50, or keep a car checked all month on a diagnostic plan from £20.
Deposits: if the health check shows the car isn't healthy enough to tune, the £50 deposit isn't refunded. It stays on your booking, though: get the fault fixed and rebook with no further deposit.
Back to standard: £100 if we mapped it, as we keep your original software. If it was mapped elsewhere, the factory original file has to be found first, so it's £250.
Outside our area? We can often still come to you, with a call-out fee for the extra travel. Check your postcode in where we cover, or ask us for a quote.
Two or more cars? Book two or more vehicles, yours or a friend's, to be remapped at the same place and we'll discount them.
Add-ons include hard-cut limiters, start/stop off, raised rev limiter, AdBlue, DPF and EGR solutions, speed limiter removal and more. Emissions-related solutions are supplied for off-road and motorsport use only.
