The Volkswagen Passat / Magotan 3.6 FSI 280hp is a 3.6L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 280 BHP and 360 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 295 BHP and 380 Nm — a gain of around 15 BHP (5%) and 20 Nm (6%).
This engine has limited remap suitability, though the available headroom is limited, so gains are modest compared to higher-output variants. The tuning headroom is classified as limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED9/MED17 (varies), and 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.
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.
