Mine is currently 150 hp and 250nm torque with a 1.4 litre engine if I do stage 1 it will go up by 30-40% 25hp minimum increase in hp and about 40 to 50 in torque. I wanted to know if it will do any damage or if there is any drawback from it
Drawbacks are
Risk of losing license as become lead footed
Extra strain on gearbox
Extra wear on clutch / flywheel
Reduced turbo lifespan
Increased tyre wear
Positives
More speed
remap on any turbo car will always reduce turbo lifespan, it may reduce it from 150k miles to 120k miles but it still puts more strain on it.To a degree yes but shouldn’t make any difference to the turbo ( I know people running over 400 BHP on Golfs without issue - only when making big power does it affect the turbo then you go hybrid anyway) Won’t make much difference to the flywheel as but might prematurely wear the clutch. 25 BHP won’t make much difference wear wise. I’d just be sure to make sure you oil is up to 85 or 90 before giving it the beans.

I did a stage1 on my car within 3 weeks after delivery.Perfect can you tell me more about it because I'm looking to do stage 1
Great I will do the same tomorrow thank youI did a stage1 on my car within 3 weeks after delivery.
It is a nice subtle increase of nm torque and hp.
Had a lot of fun with it, you will notice the difference. I also installed a k&n airfilter.
Was a perfect combo.
Also it is important to find a tuner who writes his own software specially for your car and measures it on the dyno.
Then just drive the engine warm before you hit full throttle and give your car the best care.
I drove mine 3 years with a smile
Nice! Let me know how it wentGreat I will do the same tomorrow thank you
Looks goodI went for the superchips bluefin as its one of the more mild maps out there for my tdi 150 ps 31hp 85 nm gain although never dyno'd as i installed it using the handset
Hey there I was wondering if you measured the difference in the 0-100 times compared to stock My previous car had an Stage1 which I drove around perfectly for 3 years without any problems

Yes of course, we measured it before the tuning, it was around 8,6 seconds.Hey there I was wondering if you measured the difference in the 0-100 times compared to stock
Very nice mine is currently 7.9 befofe tuning hopefully it goes down to the 6.7 rangeYes of course, we measured it before the tuning, it was around 8,6 seconds.
After tuning it was around 7,5 seconds
After all it was not bad
