The Volkswagen Passat / Magotan 1.6 TDI CR 120hp is a 1.6L turbocharged diesel engine producing 120 BHP and 250 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 150 BHP and 330 Nm — a gain of around 30 BHP (25%) and 80 Nm (32%).
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 EDC17 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine..
Considerations: Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
Fuel economy note: economy gains unlikely at full power; depends on driving style.
