Power and torque figures
| Specification | Factory | Provider-stated Stage 1 |

On the provider’s figures, that is an increase of 36 hp and 70 Nm.
Stage 1 figures are supplied by our calibration provider, which develops and tests its own tuning files. They are indicative figures, not dynamometer measurements of this individual vehicle. Actual results vary with vehicle condition and specification.
Background: why Stage 1 results vary
The points below are general information about this kind of job. They explain the work; they are not additional details about this particular vehicle.
A provider’s Stage 1 figures indicate what its calibration is intended to achieve on that engine. What an individual car produces depends on its mechanical condition, its servicing, its exact engine specification and the fuel it runs on.
Stage 1 works within the standard hardware: the turbo, injectors, clutch and cooling the car already has. On a turbo diesel, much of the extra torque arrives low in the rev range, which is the part most drivers notice in everyday driving.
A remap is a modification and must be declared to your insurer.
