Your car's got more in it. We'll go get it.

Stage 1 is a remap on an otherwise standard car — it optimises fuelling, boost and timing on your existing hardware and suits the vast majority of drivers. Stage 2 is for cars that already have supporting mods (like an uprated intake, exhaust or downpipe) and takes fuller advantage of that improved breathing. We'll only recommend Stage 2 if your car is actually set up for it.

When it's done sensibly, yes. We tune within safe limits for your specific engine, back up your original file first, and prioritise reliable, everyday drivability over chasing risky headline numbers. If your car has an existing weakness — a tired clutch or dual-mass flywheel, say — we'll tell you straight before we touch it.

It can, particularly on diesels. Because the extra torque arrives lower in the rev range, you tend to work the engine less to do the same job, which can improve MPG on steady and motorway driving. The honest catch: if you enjoy the extra performance with a heavier right foot, you'll spend the gains instead. We can write an economy-focused map if MPG is your priority.

Yes, always. A remap is a declarable modification, and not disclosing it can invalidate your policy in the event of a claim. It's usually a quick, low-cost note on the policy. Because we back up your original file, the car can also be returned to completely standard whenever you need for insurance, warranty or resale.

No. Our performance and economy maps keep the DPF, EGR and AdBlue/SCR systems fully intact and working — we optimise the standard setup rather than deleting emissions equipment. That keeps your vehicle MOT-legal and road-legal.

For a road-going Stage 1 or 2 remap, yes. We use the same genuine dealer-level tools a workshop uses and run everything off a stabilised power supply so the ECU always has clean, steady voltage during the flash. You just don't have to book a rolling road or lose a day dropping the car off — we come to you.

Completely. We read and save your original factory file before writing anything, so we can restore your car to full stock at any time — handy for warranty visits, lease returns or selling it on.
