      This is a difficult question to answer as there are so many maps available mate.

      Google maps is good, but I've also used one called street maps.

      My favourite at the moment has to be Apples 'Maps' app, very handy and very easy to use.

      for once ill be serious with you, as you asking a genuine question which could also help other forum members.
      the stages refers to exactly that different stages, stage one is remap only, as the other stages go up hardware is added/uprated.

      as for a good remapper we have the best on the site....SM tuning

      hope that helps mate

      A remap won't affect your speed, it will affect your acceleration times, the more power you have the more likely it is you'll get to 60 a bit quicker.
      You don't have a turbo car remapped for better fuel economy, if you're worried about fuel economy then you're having it remapped for all the wrong reasons.

      depends on how its mapped and to what power output

      Yes there are but you mentioned speed and stages in your first post, that tells me you're looking for outright power, not economy.

      Stages are just to signify levels and packages for normal people. The thing is you don't come under normal people like us mere mortals. In fact YOU are always on stage, at the top of the podium in pole position every day.

      So the rules don't apply. You have to be careful as I heard you blew the welds off your intake on your last car by just thinking of a remap so take it slow and steady.

      Economy you ask? Smiles per gallon is what the Bobz Slugz Bobz i know would say. I myself follow this way of life.


      You will get a good gain from the engine though as someone i know had theirs mapped. You will obviously have substantially higher figures though by definition because any mapper will see your potential when you turn up and that you aren't all "torque".


      Some have theorised that if you do go ahead with the above tune.... "she will scare the sh*t out of you"


      Peace one love brother bless up
