If you’re looking for Stage 2 remaps in Leicester, you’re probably not new to the world of performance tuning.
Maybe you’ve already had a Stage 1 remap. Maybe you’re running upgraded parts and feel like your car still isn’t giving you everything it can.
You’re in the right place.
At Remap Leicester, we specialise in Stage 2 remapping for drivers who want more than just a tweak. You want a serious power upgrade—and we’re here to deliver it safely, reliably, and tailored to your vehicle.
What Is a Stage 2 Remap?
A Stage 2 remap is a step beyond standard ECU tuning. It’s designed for vehicles that have had hardware upgrades—things like:
- High-flow exhaust systems
- Decat or sports cat
- Front mount intercooler
- Performance air filter or intake kit
With those components installed, your engine can breathe better. But to fully unlock the gains, you need custom ECU tuning to match. That’s where Stage 2 comes in.
It fine-tunes the software to work perfectly with your upgraded hardware—for maximum power and torque.
What Are the Gains?
Every vehicle is different. But typical Stage 2 remap results include:
- 40–60% more horsepower than stock
- Big torque improvements across the rev range
- Sharper throttle and faster turbo spool
- Faster 0-60 times
- Better pulling power in higher gears
At Remap Leicester, we custom map every car. No generic files. No shortcuts. Just real gains you can feel the moment you hit the accelerator.
Do I Need to Upgrade Parts?
Yes—Stage 2 tuning requires supporting hardware. Unlike Stage 1, which works on a stock setup, Stage 2 needs your car to be breathing better.
That typically includes:
- Sports or decat exhaust
- Upgraded intercooler (especially for turbo diesels)
- Intake or air filter modifications
- In some cases, a stronger clutch
If you’re unsure what your vehicle needs, we’re happy to check it over for free and give honest advice. We’ll never recommend parts you don’t need.
Is Stage 2 Still Safe?
Absolutely—when done properly.
We always tune within the mechanical limits of your engine, gearbox, and turbo. We never max out components for a flashy dyno figure.
Instead, we prioritise real-world drivability and long-term reliability. We’ve built Stage 2 maps for everyone from weekend track drivers to tradesmen who rely on their van every day.
With Remap Leicester, you get performance without the panic.
Who Is Stage 2 Remapping For?
This isn’t for everyone. But if you tick any of the boxes below, you might be ready:
- You’ve already had a Stage 1 remap and want more
- You’ve installed mods like an exhaust or intercooler
- You want faster acceleration and stronger overtaking
- You’re prepping your car for track days or spirited driving
- You just love the feel of a car that pulls hard in every gear
We’ve helped drivers across Leicester—from Syston to Braunstone—push their vehicles to new levels. The performance gains speak for themselves.
How Long Does a Stage 2 Remap Take?
Typically, 2–3 hours, depending on the vehicle and setup.
We begin with a full diagnostic health check. Then we flash your ECU with a custom-built map for your specific hardware. After tuning, we test everything again to ensure peak performance and safe operation.
We also back up your original software in case you ever want to revert.
Will I Still Pass an MOT?
This depends on your supporting mods.
If your car has a decat (removal of the catalytic converter), it may fail the emissions test during MOT. That’s something to be aware of before going Stage 2.
That said, many drivers choose to keep their stock cat or use a sports cat, which is MOT-compliant while still improving airflow.
We’ll walk you through your options and help you make the right choice for your needs.
What About Insurance?
Just like with any remap or modification, you should declare it to your insurer.
Some insurance companies are friendly to mods. Others might raise your premium. We always recommend giving them a call to check.
At Remap Leicester, we provide a detailed breakdown of the work done so you have everything in writing.
