What is a Custom Stage 1 ECU Remap?
A custom Stage 1 ECU remap is specifically developed for vehicles that are completely stock or have minimal modifications, such as a performance air filter.
It focuses on delivering safe, reliable improvements in power, torque, and fuel efficiency without placing additional stress on the engine or drivetrain.
Each Stage 1 file is individually tailored to your vehicle’s exact condition, taking into account factors such as mileage, fuel quality, and your specific performance objectives.
The result is a smooth, OEM+ driving experience with noticeable performance gains — all while preserving the factory levels of reliability and drivability.
Key Benefits:
✅ No hardware upgrades required
✅ Perfect for daily driving applications
✅ Enhanced throttle response, torque delivery, and fuel economy
✅ Maintains engine and drivetrain longevity
What is a Custom Stage 2 ECU Remap?
A custom Stage 2 ECU remap is designed for vehicles equipped with supporting hardware modifications, such as:
- High-flow intake systems
- Performance exhaust systems (de-cat, sports cat, or cat-back)
- Upgraded intercoolers
- In some cases, upgraded fuel pumps or injectors
Stage 2 tuning is engineered to
fully optimize these upgrades, improving airflow, exhaust flow, and cooling efficiency to
extract significantly more power and torque from the engine.
While Stage 2 is still suitable for street use, it delivers a
more aggressive performance curve compared to Stage 1, with careful calibration to maintain drivability and mechanical reliability.
Key Benefits:
✅ Supporting hardware modifications required
✅ Substantial increases in mid-range and top-end power
✅ Suitable for spirited daily driving
✅ May require more regular maintenance, depending on usage and modifications
What is a Custom Stage 3 ECU Remap?
A custom Stage 3 ECU remap is specifically engineered for vehicles equipped with extensive performance upgrades, including:
- Upgraded or hybrid turbochargers/superchargers
- Larger injectors and upgraded fuelling systems
- Built engines (featuring forged internals)
- Full performance exhaust and intake systems
- Advanced cooling upgrades (e.g., radiators, oil coolers)
Stage 3 tuning is highly specialized; each remap is meticulously calibrated to your vehicle’s unique modifications and intended use, whether for street, track, or drag racing applications.
This level of tuning maximizes the potential of your upgrades, ensuring that every component operates at peak efficiency. Custom tuning is essential at this stage to maintain engine reliability and performance at higher power outputs.
Key Benefits:
✅ Extensive hardware modifications required
✅ Focus on unlocking maximum performance potential
✅ Frequently requires dyno tuning and real-time data logging
✅ Best suited for high-performance builds, race cars, or extreme street setups
