Stage 1 remapping in Trowbridge
Westbury lies 6.9 km from Trowbridge and Melksham 7.4 km, while Corsham, Bath and Frome are all within 13.4 km. For the county town of Wiltshire, that puts several other towns within a short drive. Stage 1 remapping suits that kind of use on a diesel, because the gain sits in the mid-range, the part of the rev band you use when pulling away from junctions and building speed on A roads. It is a software change to the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings, within the engine's limits, and nothing is fitted. A car or van with a remap needs fewer gear changes and feels less strained when it is loaded.
