Stage 1 remapping in Chadderton
Motorway-standard roads make up three of the eight main roads listed for Chadderton: the M60, the M62 and the A627(M). Merging onto roads like these is one place a remapped diesel shows its extra pull. The other, with Chadderton in the foothills of the Pennines, is the climbs, where a hill that needed a downshift before may be taken in the same gear. Stage 1 remapping is a change to the fuel, boost and timing settings, made in software within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. What you gain is torque in the middle of the rev range rather than a higher top speed. Tell your insurer once it is done, and expect any engine fault to be fixed beforehand.
