Stage 1 remapping in Bury
Three motorways, the M60, M62 and M66, are among Bury's main roads, alongside the A56 and A58. Mixing town streets with motorway miles is the kind of use Stage 1 remapping suits. Nothing is bolted on: the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings are changed in software, within the engine's limits. On a diesel the gain is mid-range torque: the car joins the M66 or M60 with less effort, holds its gear for longer when traffic slows, and overtakes without a long run-up. Your insurer must be told about a remap.
