Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016 remap
Petrol · Flash via OBD · Figures published for this engine · Remote remap available UK-wide from £199
Is a remap worth it on the Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016?
This is one of the stronger candidates for a remap. The factory map leaves a lot on the table and a Stage 1 flash recovers most of it with no hardware.
What each stage needs
| Stage | Power | Torque | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 197 bhp | 329 Nm | None |
| Stage 1 | 276 bhp | 400 Nm | Software only |
| Stage 2 | 320 bhp | 483 Nm | Uprated intercooler, high-flow intake, sports catalyst |
Risk on this engine: high
- Very high 40% gain: approaching stock component limits.
- Naturally aspirated: lower mechanical risk. Gains from timing and fuelling optimisation.
How to keep the risk down
- Full engine health inspection mandatory.
- Uprated intercooler and charge pipes required.
- Oil cooler upgrade strongly advised.
- Use RON 97+ fuel to maximise timing advance.
- Keep a copy of the original ECU file before flashing.
