The Volkswagen Lupo 1.6i 16v GTI 125hp is a 1.6L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 125 BHP and 152 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 135 BHP and 170 Nm — a gain of around 10 BHP (8%) and 18 Nm (12%).
This engine has limited 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 limited, 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: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.
