Stage 1 remapping in Long Eaton
Long Eaton's main roads include the M1, the A50 and the A52, with the A453, A6005 and A6007 alongside them. With roads like these close by, the part of the rev range you use most is the middle, when you join, overtake and hold speed with traffic. On a diesel, Stage 1 remapping adds torque through that mid-range, so a car or van pulls without dropping a gear. The change is made to the fuel, boost and timing settings in software, kept within the engine's limits. Fuel economy may move a little either way depending on how you drive, so it is not a reason on its own to remap.
