The Volkswagen Caddy 1.2 TSI 86hp is a 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine producing 86 BHP and 160 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 140 BHP and 225 Nm — a gain of around 54 BHP (63%) and 65 Nm (41%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with gains weighted towards peak power — the improvement is most noticeable at higher RPM. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED17 (likely), and 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.
