VW Up! GTI 1.0 TSI Stage 1 (February 2026)

This Volkswagen Up! GTI 1.0 TSI went from 115hp and 200Nm to 130hp and 240Nm with our Stage 1 calibration.

More eager through the gears

Throttle response is sharper, mid-range torque is stronger and the car feels much keener through the gears, with smooth, factory-like behaviour.

Included

  • Speed limiter solution
  • Dealer-level diagnostics before and after

Is a small three-cylinder worth tuning?

Yes, the extra 40Nm makes a big difference in a light car. We come to you across Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and South Wales.

About this job

The results

Power went from 115hp to 130hp, an increase of 15hp or around 13%.

Torque rose from 200Nm to 240Nm (+40Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.

What the work involved

A Stage 1 remap is a software calibration for an otherwise standard car. We refine parameters such as boost, fuelling, ignition timing and torque limits within safe margins, so it pulls harder through the mid-range without any hardware changes.

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

Thinking about the same for your Volkswagen?
