Is stage 2 remap worth it?
If you daily the car and want a simple boost, Stage 1 is usually perfect. If you’re chasing more torque or you’ve already fitted hardware, Stage 2 is the natural next step. We tune petrol and diesel ECUs every week here in NG19. Stage 2 tuning requires a decat downpipe or high-flow sports catalyst, upgraded air intake system, larger intercooler, and a spark plug and ignition coil upgrade.Stage 2 tuning takes performance to the next level by adding supporting hardware modifications along with an ECU remap. At this stage, the stock components of the car start becoming bottlenecks, and replacing them allows the engine to breathe better and handle increased power levels safely.A stage 2 remap will increase power by around 30-40%, and torque by around 20-30%, improving BHP and throttle response. These numbers will vary depending on the vehicle being tuned but we can guarantee: More Horsepower.Stage 2 Tuning Overview: Typical Hardware: Cold air intake, cat-back or catless exhaust, upgraded intercooler (turbo engines) Horsepower Gains: 40-80 HP depending on platform. Drivability: Maintains good street manners while providing significant performance improvement.
