With a bespoke remap the Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI 90bhp gains +59 bhp and +110 Nm, rising from 90 bhp / 210 Nm to 149 bhp / 320 Nm (66% more power).

Add Adblue, DPF OFF, DTC Removal, EGR OFF to the same file if needed.
Who is this remap for?
On a diesel, the bigger gain is usually in torque. Expect stronger pulling from low revs, easier overtaking and a more relaxed drive on the motorway. 90 → 149 bhp equals roughly 67 → 111 kW.
Figures are guide values from our rolling road and comparable vehicles. Results depend on the vehicle's condition, hardware and fuel quality. Remapping in the UK: let your insurer know about the modification. DPF, EGR and AdBlue solutions are supplied for off-road and motorsport use only and are not legal for use on UK roads.
