Stage 1 remapping in Great Yarmouth
More than four in ten households in the Great Yarmouth built-up area had no car in the 2021 Census: 43.4%, against 23.3% across England and Wales. Just 17.1% had two or more, under half the England and Wales share of 35.4%. In a household with a single car or van, that vehicle has to handle every kind of journey, so a Stage 1 remap needs to suit all of them. The work is a software change to the fuel, boost and timing settings, held within the engine's limits. On a diesel, the main gain is torque in the middle of the rev range, which helps on long runs and when the vehicle is carrying a load.
