Stage 1 Eco remap figures
Stage 1 Eco is performance with economy in mind. It keeps most of the Stage 1 gain, so the car still pulls well, but the map is shaped for efficient, relaxed driving rather than flat-out output. It is above the standard figures. We don't quote mpg, because economy depends on the car and how it is driven.

Who is the Stage 1 Eco map for?
- Naturally aspirated owners who want a little more response and a more efficient, relaxed drive. Every map we list stays above standard.
- Drivers who want the small gain on offer without chasing peak output.
- Anyone who would otherwise take the full Stage 1 map but wants it tuned with economy in mind.
How Stage 1 Eco compares with Stage 1
Full Stage 1 on this SEAT Altea is expected to give 113bhp and 164Nm (+13bhp, +16Nm). The Stage 1 Eco keeps about 77% of that power gain and 94% of the torque gain, so you get 110bhp and 163Nm: 3bhp less and 1Nm less than Stage 1, with the map shaped for efficient, relaxed driving, so it suits you if you want the pull and care about running costs. Both sit above the standard 100bhp and 148Nm.
What this means for your Altea
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.
This car is listed with a Siemens Simos 7.1 engine control unit. 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.
