Stage 1 remap figures
A Stage 1 remap is a software-only change to the ECU on an otherwise standard car. It needs no extra parts, which makes it the usual starting point.

Who is the Stage 1 map for?
- Drivers who want a sharper throttle and a small, honest gain from software alone.
- Owners who would rather keep the car standard in every other way.
- Anyone who wants the fullest software-only map for this engine, accepting that the gain is modest without a turbocharger.
What this means for your A4
Without a turbocharger the improvement comes from ignition, fuelling and throttle mapping rather than boost, so expect a smaller but still noticeable change in response.
The ECU recorded for this variant is a Bosch ME7.5. Older engine management is simpler to work with, but age matters: worn sensors, leaks and tired components can hold back what a remap delivers, which is why we run a diagnostic check first.
We remap at our Belgrave Gate workshop in Leicester, or at your home or work within 30 miles, and every job starts with a diagnostic check.
Please note: these are expected figures, not guarantees. Real results vary with the condition of the vehicle, the ECU software version, fuel quality and the hardware fitted. Some options - including Stage 2 and anything that needs extra hardware - are for off-road or competition use only. We check every vehicle first and confirm what is achievable before any work starts.

We expect 215bhp and 299Nm against 163bhp and 225Nm as standard: up to +52bhp and +74Nm. These are expected figures, and we confirm what is achievable on your own car after a diagnostic check.
Does a Stage 1 remap need any extra parts on the Audi A4 1.8 20VT 163bhp?
No. Stage 1 is a software-only change to the ECU on an otherwise standard car.
Is there a gentler map than Stage 1 for this engine?
Yes, two. Stage 1 Eco is performance with economy in mind: 202bhp and 293Nm expected. The Eco map is economy first: 198bhp and 289Nm. Both still sit above the standard 163bhp and 225Nm.
Do I need to tell my insurer about a remap?
Yes. A remap is a modification, so you should declare it to your insurer.
