New Leon TFSI to 200 BHP like Golf GTi

TFSI 2006

Guest
Is there some engine/chip nerd who will tell if Leon TFSI motor has the same engine configuration as Golf GTI? Intercooler, for instance?

It will be nice to turn 185 BHP to 200 only with remapping....

From the information I've been given it's the same engine, only detuned by software, that is in the 2.0TFSi

So that'll remap to whatever the 197bhp golf gti does (I think 260bhp odd)

Great ! Thanks.
You know, I must be 100% assured by those things before any tweaking on new car with warranty. In the other side, why not get 197 BHP if it's same (identical) engine like 5000 euros more Golf GTi?!

(Yes, there are some theories that that engine goes easily to 240 bhp without any mechanical job, but let's play on the safe side...)

ABT Tuning from Germany does 240 PS (approx. 235 BHP) by remapping only

Yum, yum!:clap:
