1.5 TSI Remap

[stever750]

Has anyone had one done? can't find much when searching...

Yup I was investigating this and there are companies that do tuning of the new 1.5TSI.

Stage 1 is around 180BHP

Stage 2 is arouns 200BHP (you need to use premium fuel 98 Octanes)

Stage 3 well...that is up to you

 

They also can turn off the annoying 2 cyl mode.

I wouldn't trust other companies when Revo and other very well known companies are struggling to map certain ECUs. Some early 1.5s can be mapped as they're on different ECUs

Very interesting read and puts to bed many subjects regarding older non-GPF cars compared to more recent GPF equipped cars.

How long has the 1.5TSI been out now?? and it's still on Revo's development list.

Looks like still on the VW Group development list as people are still having issues with early 1.5TSI & ones that have had software updates and even ones delivered in the past months brand new.

?

Who really wants to risk the Manufacturers Warranty while they have one.

Some early cars are out of Manufacturers Warranty when not in the UK.

 

Vorsprung Durch Technik.   Well not really from VW / Audi / Skoda / SEAT with 1.5TSI EVO's.

Get a Revo map when it is done..

 

I have the 140PS 1.4lt EA211 engine & got the stage 1 performance mode B re-map..so that's the 98RON fuel version..& boy it totally changes the car for the better!!

 

The car can drive at 1,200rpm in 4th/3dr around town & not sound as if its about to stall..is much quieter under load due to the wastegate not opening as higher boost is allowed...more power everywhere, more "drivable" & how the car should have been from the factory!!

And that's too long to not have a remap from a reputable company.

 

Unless I'm missing something?

 

Anyway, I'm looking for a 272 now so not bothered 😁

The issue is the issue that VW Group have not addressed, so any Tuning Company do not want to risk being involved in offering new engine management on what can be flawed engines. 

Too risky.  Just as some Tuners stopped selling remaps for 1.4 TSI Twinchargers 132-136kW.   Actually the REVO Stage 1 was dodgy as it was were the APR one was honky dory.
