The Volkswagen Touareg R Plug-in V6 462hp is a 1.9L naturally aspirated petrol phev engine producing 462 BHP and 700 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 520 BHP and 820 Nm — a gain of around 58 BHP (13%) and 120 Nm (17%).
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 moderate, 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. 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: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
