Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TSI GTI 230hp Remap

The Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TSI GTI 230hp is a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine producing 230 BHP and 350 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 300 BHP and 440 Nm — a gain of around 70 BHP (30%) and 90 Nm (26%).

This engine has moderate remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. 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. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited..

Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
