Stage 1 remapping in Frome
Five nearby places lie within 17 km of Frome: Westbury at 9.6 km, Warminster at 10.6 km, Midsomer Norton at 12.9 km, Trowbridge at 13.4 km and Bath at 17 km. Trips of that length, from one town to the next, are likely to make up much of the driving here, and they are where Stage 1 remapping is easy to notice. The software change to fuel, boost and timing gives a diesel stronger mid-range torque, so it pulls out of junctions and roundabouts and overtakes with less effort and fewer gear changes. The work stays within the engine's limits, and nothing is added to the vehicle.
