Assessment
The Volkswagen Golf 1.6 FSI 115hp is a 1.6L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 115 BHP and 155 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 125 BHP and 170 Nm — a gain of around 10 BHP (9%) and 15 Nm (10%).
This engine has limited 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 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.
