The Audi A4 1.8 T 163hp is a 1.8L turbocharged petrol engine producing 163 BHP and 225 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 195 BHP and 320 Nm — a gain of around 32 BHP (20%) and 95 Nm (42%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine..
Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
