Stage 1 remapping in Warwick
Both the M40 and the A46 are on Warwick's list of main roads, along with the A425, A429 and A452. A drive out of CV34 or CV31 can reach a motorway or a major A-road without going far, and on roads like those, Stage 1 remapping is easiest to notice. The remap alters fuel, boost and timing in the engine software, staying within the engine's limits, and no hardware is added. A diesel gains mid-range torque: it accelerates more readily when you need to pass and needs fewer gear changes on gradients. Fuel use changes only modestly, depending on how you drive, and as with any modification, your insurer needs to know.
