How a Stage 1 remap works on the Kia Ceed 1.0 T-GDi 120hp
Stage 1 recalibrates boost, ignition advance and fuelling. The gain spreads across a wide rev range and is clear in the mid-range on the 1.6 T-GDI. On DCT cars the clutch and torque limit are respected.
Pre-remap checklist
- Ignition coils, spark plugs and fuel quality.
- Carbon build-up on the intake valves.
- Boost leaks and wastegate actuator.
- Oil level monitoring.
