Is stage 1 or stage 3 better?
While Stage 1 is a simple and relatively safe ECU remap, Stage 2 requires additional hardware upgrades, and Stage 3 is for those who are looking to push their car to extreme levels of performance. The stages of remaps aren’t a required order and just refer to the extent of work they entail. While most car owners start with a stage 1 remap before progressing to stage 2, this isn’t necessary – so you can theoretically take your car for whichever stage of ECU remapping you want.The definition of a Stage 1 remap couldn’t be put more simply than a remap designed to work with fully stock components, taking the ECU parameters to a safe and comfortable level whilst retaining the vehicle’s stock exhaust system, intake, airbox, intercooler and catalytic converter.A Stage 1 ECU remap is safe when performed by reputable tuners who work within manufacturer tolerances. However, some less reputable tuners offer inflated performance figures to attract customers, which can drastically shorten engine life – sometimes to just a few miles.
