What we do

Remaps for how you actually drive

Four core services: Stage 1 (≈20–35% power), economy maps for mpg, DPF diagnostics (road-legal only), and custom maps for modified cars.

Service Best for What to expect Hardware
Stage 1 Remap Daily cars & vans ≈20–35% more power; stronger mid-range torque Stock vehicle
Economy Remap High-mileage diesels & fleets Mapped for motorway & mixed mpg, not peak BHP Stock vehicle
DPF Diagnostics Warning lights / regen issues Road-legal repair advice only — no UK road deletes N/A
Custom Tuning Turbo / intake / exhaust upgrades Map built to match your hardware and goals Modified
01

Stage 1 Remap

Software-only on a stock car. Typical gains: 20–35% power and stronger mid-range torque — no hardware changes.

02

Economy Remap

Calibrated for motorway and mixed mpg — not peak power. Common choice for fleets and high-mileage North West diesels.

03

DPF Diagnostics

Clear diagnosis for DPF warnings and legal repair paths. We do not offer DPF/EGR deletes for UK road use.

04

Custom Tuning

Already running a turbo, intercooler or injectors? We build a map to match your kit and how you drive.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot

What is ECU remapping?

Bottom line: remapping rewrites your engine software for more power, torque or better mpg — within safe limits. We back up the stock file first; every map is 100% reversible. Stage 1 on many turbo cars adds roughly 20–35% power.

Do you come to me, or do I need to visit a workshop?

Bottom line: we come to you. Torque Lab Ltd is fully mobile across Greater Manchester and the North West — home, workplace or fleet depot. Most visits take 1–2 hours; no workshop drop-off.

Is Stage 1 remapping safe for my car?

Bottom line: yes, when the map stays inside safe engine, turbo and gearbox limits. We diagnose first, refuse unsound cars, keep a stock-file backup, and include a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

What’s the difference between a Stage 1 and an economy remap?

Bottom line: Stage 1 targets ≈20–35% more power and stronger mid-range torque. Economy maps prioritise motorway/mixed mpg, not peak BHP — common on high-mileage diesels and vans. We’ll match the map to how you drive.

Map type Primary goal Typical use
Stage 1 ≈20–35% power + mid-range torque Daily cars, performance feel
Economy Motorway / mixed mpg Fleets, high-mileage diesels
Which areas do you cover?

Bottom line: 9+ Greater Manchester boroughs plus nearby North West towns — Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Trafford and Wigan. Hours: Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm.

Will remapping affect my insurance or warranty?

Bottom line: declare the modification to your insurer. Manufacturer warranties can be affected by non-factory software — check your terms. We can restore the original map if needed.

UK consumer insurance law requires you to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation before cover is arranged or varied — including material facts about the vehicle. See the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012. The Association of British Insurers describes modifications as features that were not on the car when it was manufactured; failing to tell your insurer can void cover (ABI statement summarised by The Car Expert). Engine remapping is commonly treated as a modification by major UK insurers.

How long does a remap take?

Bottom line: most remaps take 1–2 hours on site. That covers diagnostics, stock backup, writing the new map, and a final check. Exact timing is confirmed when you book.

  1. Diagnostics
  2. Original file backup
  3. Write new calibration
  4. Final checks
How do I check if my vehicle is compatible?

Bottom line: use the compatibility checker — manufacturer → Search model → year → engine. Not listed? Send your reg via the quote form and we’ll confirm within 24 hours.

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 2026

These Terms & Conditions cover work done by Torque Lab Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”), based in Greater Manchester. We provide mobile ECU remapping and related tuning across Greater Manchester and the North West.

1. Services

We offer mobile automotive software work which may include Stage 1 and Stage 1+ remaps, economy remaps, gearbox / TCU mapping, custom calibrations, diagnostics advice, and related support. We work at your home, workplace or another agreed spot with professional kit. Exact work is confirmed when you book in.

2. Quotes & website information

Quotes, expected power/torque gains, and results from our website compatibility checker are estimates only. Final suitability, method (OBD, bench or boot), and gains depend on the vehicle’s condition, hardware, software version and diagnostics on the day. We may revise or withdraw a quote if the vehicle differs from the details you gave us.

3. Vehicle suitability & your responsibilities

You confirm you own the vehicle or have authority to have it remapped, and that it is mechanically sound and roadworthy (where used on the road). Tell us about existing faults, warning lights, modifications, previous remaps, or warranty/lease restrictions before we start. We may refuse or stop work if pre-tuning checks fail or we consider the vehicle unsafe or unsuitable.

4. Booking, access & cancellation

You must give us safe access to the vehicle, a working battery/power supply where needed, and enough time for diagnostics, backup, flashing and checks. Payment is due on completion unless agreed otherwise in writing. Cancellations or no-shows with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a call-out / wasted journey fee.

5. Original file backup

Where we can, we back up the original calibration before writing a new map. A copy may be provided on request at the time of service. Restoring the original map may be offered subject to availability and a reasonable fee if outside any agreed guarantee period.

6. Guarantee

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on remapping we have supplied, covering the calibration work itself. It does not cover pre-existing faults, wear and tear, poor maintenance, later mechanical failure, third-party modifications, misuse, or damage unrelated to our software. Remedies are limited to rework or, at our discretion, restoring the original file and a refund of the remap fee paid to us.

7. Insurance, warranty & manufacturer systems

Remapping may affect manufacturer warranties and must usually be declared to your insurer. That’s on you. We don’t accept liability for warranty refusal, insurance claims issues, or manufacturer software updates that overwrite a remap.

8. Emissions & legal compliance (UK)

Vehicles used on UK public roads must stay compliant with road traffic and emissions laws. We do not offer DPF, EGR, AdBlue, catalytic converter or similar emissions-system deletes for UK road use. Any request for off-road / track-only use must be declared clearly when you book. You remain responsible for the legal use of your vehicle after any work.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law. Subject to that, our total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the price paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, downtime, or hire-car costs except where required by law.

10. Website use

Content on this website (including blogs, guides and the compatibility tool) is general information. It isn’t a substitute for inspecting your vehicle or advice for your specific car. Don’t misuse the site or try to disrupt its systems.

11. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this website when you book applies to that booking.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

1. What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser feature that can keep small amounts of data on your device.
