About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the Audi A3 1.8i 20v 125hp increases power from 125 to 138 hp (+13 hp, +10%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Bosch ME7.5 ECU (engine code APG) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. We use Alientech KESSv2, ByteShooter Toolbox. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
