Stage 1, Stage 2 & Stage 3 Remapping
Tuning stages are shorthand for a vehicle's proposed level of modification. They are not a universal specification: the hardware, software and scope behind each stage depend on the vehicle and the tuner. Start with the actual parts fitted to your car.
Software changes and supporting hardware
A Stage 1 enquiry commonly concerns a largely standard vehicle. Later stages usually involve a discussion about supporting mechanical changes, but the stage name alone does not tell you which parts are required or whether an existing calibration is appropriate.
For a modified car, list the exact components already fitted and any planned changes. Include the engine and transmission details, current software history and the intended use. A file associated with another car should not be selected solely because both owners describe their cars as Stage 2.
Plan the changes together
Discuss hardware and calibration before committing to a package. Fuel requirements, the vehicle's condition and the compatibility of its components all belong in that conversation. A larger stage number is not automatically the most useful choice for everyday driving.
GAD Tuning can discuss a mobile remapping enquiry using your vehicle details and postcode. The scope and location of any work will be confirmed for the particular application.
