Stage 1 remapping in Egham
Junction 13 of the M25 is Egham's link to the motorway network, and the M3 also appears on the town's list of main roads, with the A30, A308 and A320. For a car that spends time on those roads, Stage 1 remapping is mostly about how it joins traffic and overtakes at speed. The work changes fuel, boost and timing settings in software, within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. On a diesel the gain you notice is mid-range torque, so a slip road onto the M25 takes less effort and the car needs fewer downshifts. Any change in fuel use depends on how you drive and is modest, so treat it as a side effect rather than the reason to do it.
