Ever felt like your car isn’t performing at its best? Maybe the acceleration feels sluggish, or the power just isn't there when you need it.
A stage 1 remap is the simplest and most effective way to boost your car’s power, torque, and efficiency—without touching a single physical part of the engine.
At Leicester Remaps, we specialise in ECU tuning that transforms the way your vehicle drives.
What is a Stage 1 Remap?
A stage 1 remap is a software upgrade that tweaks the ECU (engine control unit) to optimise fuel delivery, boost pressure, and ignition timing.
- No mechanical modifications needed.
- Works on turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.
- Fully custom-tuned—no generic maps.
- Safe and reliable, keeping the engine within manufacturer limits.
If you drive a BMW, Audi, VW, Ford, Mercedes, or Land Rover, there’s a high chance your car is ready for a remap. Want to check? Use our vehicle compatibility tool.
