Stage 1 remapping in Gosport
Gosport occupies a peninsula across the harbour from Portsmouth, and on census day in 2021, during a lockdown, few of its workers went far: 12.3% of working residents in the built-up area travelled 10 km or more to work, compared with 19% across England and Wales. Even so, 52% drove to work, above the 45.1% for England and Wales. For journeys like these, Stage 1 remapping is mostly about how the engine pulls at low and middle revs. Only software is involved, with fuel, boost and timing settings adjusted within the engine's limits. Around town, the benefit is mid-range torque for pulling away and climbing without changing down. Remember to tell your insurer once it is done.
