unrealistic gains?

Post by ohaire89 »

i've been emailing companies about remapping. I know companies may have a tendency to overdo the gains achieved but I asked a well known company what I can expect from a b5 TDI PD 100 on a remap.

i got a reply from one company

The 1.9 TDi engines we can take from 100bhp up to 150bhp and from 177lbft torque up to 257lbft torque giving a very impressive performance gain and all within safe design tolerance of the engine and drive train components.


that sounds a bit generous and goes well beyond what is listed elsewhere. point being, if a company can't quote reputable figures (give or take some of course) can i really trust them?
