Hello!
I'm working on a project to upgrade my 1.4 tsi twincharger, remapping to stage 1 and then possibly stage 2.
As some people might know the 1.4 tsi twincharger is a twitchy engine, plagued with numerous early production issues that led to these engines failing prematurely - with broken pistons.
So a remap should be the last thing on someones mind.
However if various upgrades / changes are done, you should be able to safely remap this engine and get oodles of performance with great fuel economy.
A remap will unlock the power of the supercharger in the low to mid range which on stock is underutilised and doesnt offer much more than a straight turbo would give you.
My car is a 2010 1.4Tsi 160HP, Golf mk6 GT (highline).
The twincharger had numerous upgrades over the years to alleviate its primary problem - misfires along with some other issues:
The injectors were changed in mid 2010 to a newer version that has a different spray pattern to prevent scorching of the piston head and exhaust valves.
The sparks were eventually gapped at 0.8mm and changed to a different revision.
Coil packs were upgraded in 2011 to ones that produce a stronger spark.
The supercharger clutch material was changed in 2011 to one that doesnt slip/squeak in warm weather.
The upgrades I'm performing before my APR stage 1 map:
-Newer revision injectors (03C906036M)
-New revision coil packs (036905715G)
-NGK BKR7EIX or BKR6EIX sparks
-Revised supercharger clutch / coolant pump
-Golf R / Audi S3 Intercooler (newer revision non metal end one, 1K0145803BP)
