Stage 1 remap

[The Angry Welshman]

Anybody have one done and did it change the cars feel and power that much??

Thanks

It depends entirely on the car. A 1.2 NA Fiesta isn't going to change much with a remap. A Z4 with the B58 3.0 turbo will see massive gains.

Exactly, and it depends on the map itself too


Is it custom for the specific car? Was it done on a dyno?

Ages ago I had a stage 1 Revo remap on my mk1 Octavia vRS. Peak power didn't really go up that much but it had more torque lower down. For the money it was a nice upgrade. Second best VFM thing I did on it after a Whiteline rear ARB.

In related news it was also the only car I've ever had that needed a clutch replacement...

Good upgrade on heavy turbo diesels like vans, camper vans, motorhomes. Notice right away on the first hill you hit.

Done it in my first BMW, voided the warranty
Sold the car on...haven't done it to any other car since.

oh lol
hell go for it then

Diesel engine? If the engine and turbocharger are in good shape then go for it.

You don't need a perfectly tailored rolling road map - that's only to get those extra few percent. I assume it's a bog standard car in which case any good quality off the shelf map is going to be just fine.

Yeah youll notice the difference, done on my diesel skoda vrs and fiesta st. Huge difference and well worth it on the st.

the reason i bought it was because

full Mercedes service history, 80k on the clock, immaculate condition, 1 previous owner and within the budget i wanted to spend.....warranty never came into the equation

Check what power your other components like gearbox are rated to.
Most will be fine, because they use the same gearbox in more powerful vehicles but not always. The power figures will be online.

I’m not sure I’d mess around with car of this age. Especially a Merc of this vintage.
