About this remap

Audi A4 1.8 TSI / TFSI 120 hp Stage 1 — what changes

The Audi A4 1.8 TSI / TFSI 120 hp (2008–) leaves the factory at 118 BHP and 230 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.

Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 1.8 TSI / TFSI 120 hp powertrain (petrol). The result is 201 BHP and 336 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
