The Volkswagen Passat / Magotan 1.4 TSI GTE 218hp is a 1.4L turbocharged petrol engine producing 218 BHP and 400 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 273 BHP and 460 Nm — a gain of around 55 BHP (25%) and 60 Nm (15%).
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. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
