Stage 1 remapping in Billingham
Within 7 km of Billingham there are three service areas: Wolviston Services on the A689 at 4 km, the southbound Ron Perry A19 services at 6.6 km and Teesside Truck Stop on the A66 at 6.7 km. They follow the main roads in and around the town, the A19, A66 and A689 among them. Those are roads where Stage 1 remapping shows, because pulling power at speed is what it improves. The remap changes the fuel, boost and timing settings in software, within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. On a diesel, stronger mid-range torque makes joining the A19 and overtaking on the A66 easier, with fewer downshifts along the way.
