Stage 1 ECU Remapping
Stage 1 ECU remapping is a custom recalibration of your car's standard engine software, safely releasing the extra power and torque the manufacturer left locked away — with no hardware changes required.
Stage 1 ECU Remapping explained
Every manufacturer ships its engines with conservative software to allow for poor fuel, skipped servicing and varied climates worldwide. A Stage 1 remap rewrites that software specifically for your vehicle, optimising fuelling, boost and timing to deliver stronger, smoother, more usable performance.
At Wraptor Tuning we develop each map for your exact engine, road-test the result and can return it to standard at any time. It's the ideal first upgrade for any car on standard hardware — sharper throttle response, effortless overtaking and, driven sensibly, improved fuel economy.

Stage 1 ECU Remapping — your questions
Is a Stage 1 remap safe for my engine?
Yes. A properly developed Stage 1 map stays within the manufacturer's mechanical tolerances. Every Wraptor map is custom-built for your exact vehicle, data-logged and road-tested for reliability.
How much power will I gain?
It varies by engine, but turbocharged cars typically gain 20–35% more power and torque. Enter your registration in our Remap Calculator for figures specific to your vehicle.
Can the remap be reversed?
Yes. We keep your original file and can restore the vehicle to standard at any time — useful for servicing, sale or warranty visits.
Will a Stage 1 remap affect my insurance?
You should always declare any remap to your insurer. Many will cover a Stage 1 remap, and we're happy to provide details of the work for your policy.
Do I need to change anything before a remap?
No hardware changes are needed for Stage 1 — it works on a standard, healthy vehicle that's up to date on servicing.
