Volkswagen Passat / Magotan 2.0 TDI CR 170hp Remap

The Volkswagen Passat / Magotan 2.0 TDI CR 170hp is a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine producing 170 BHP and 350 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 205 BHP and 430 Nm — a gain of around 35 BHP (21%) and 80 Nm (23%).

This engine scores highly for 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 a Bosch EDC16 (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: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Older diesel: injector, turbo and intake condition can affect results; ensure maintenance is up to date.
