The results

From 105hp as standard to 140hp, the Volkswagen Golf gained 35hp, roughly 33% more power.

Torque rose from 250Nm to 320Nm (+70Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.

What the work involved

This was a Stage 1 calibration: no hardware changes, just carefully refined engine software. Boost, fuelling, timing and torque limits are adjusted within safe margins for more usable performance every day.

How we carried it out

Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
Stabilised power supply connected while programming
Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards
