2019 VW Jetta in Canada 1.4 CZTA. I got the APR stage one tune (remap) in the summer of 2022. APR claims 171 wheel hp and 255 ft/lbs of wheel torque. Up from 147whp - 185wtq I believe it, the car pulls a lot more! I am very happy with the improvement. As an aside my fuel economy has remained the same unless I thrash it. Cost me 500 CAN all in. Best of luck.

[@gfoy4334]

Good info good video. Got 7yo ibiza FR with 1.2 TSI EA211 - only regular oil changes and map sensor cleaned as it was throwing car in to limp mode on 4th on full throttle. Remap by local reputable tuner to 140@210Nm - after remap it flies like hell and eats even less fuel (ofc until you trash it ). In general i went from 6.3l average to 5.8l. Best thing about remap is fact that now i can use car on much lower RPMs having now same power than before on higher RPM. Internal inter cooler is very nice touch that can be enhanced by external one, swapping turbo to hybrid + a bit intake tweaks (less restrictive air filter can do a lot in this charge system) you can easily hit 180-200+ hp on this small engine. My only recommendation for all ea211 is to keep higher viscosity oil in car and do not switch to 0W-20 - if you are not living in very specific climate. Engine is running much better on 5W-30 or 0w-30 oils. And ofc change it 10-15k OR 1 year and you are good to go even with those tunes. We use it as daily car and its awesome. Does not ask for money, runs cheap as hell and withing legal limits, its pretty quick. Strongly recommending also for beginner tuners. Enjoy!

[@torquecars]

I myself bought my Seat Leon SC 1.4TSI ACT new back in 2015. VAG engine codes EA211/CZEA. My "mods": - K&N panel air filter - Silicone intake piping (MST Performance) between filter housing and turbo - Intake behind grille opened up directly in front of the filter housing feeding tube All the above make for even less turbo lag, significantly cooler intake temps, and letting off the gas makes the car almost sound like it's a dragon breathing down your neck from the outside. - Milltek resonated catback system - Catch can installed in between the cylinder head breather tube - Stage 1 engine remap done @±97.000km --> 193bhp / 327Nm - Stage 2+ DSG remap for healthier, stronger shifts, better response, and nicer driveability Car now has 110.000km and healthy as ever.

Great advice and thank you so much for the feedback. I have a few questions I'm currently grappling with you might be able to add your experience here. Which model did your water IC upgrade come from? Did it make a big difference? Was it easy to install? What do you think the power limits are for the standard fuel system on these? The dual VVT spools up the larger turbos better so it makes sense you'll get lag, I never appreciated this but this is the sort of thing someone needs to try out. I have made a few updates to the article now, but will revisit this, I'm investigating exhausts and cats at the moment and a few other things which I need to verify. I'll also rewrite the section on intercoolers but still have some questions I'm grappling with.

[@stuie2112]

They help a bit, but not as much as you might think if you just listen to the sales patter. They will not completely eliminate carbon build up. I tried it on a previous car and decided it wasn't worth the time and hassle for the minimal difference it made. You also have the hassle of fitting it, checking on it and emptying it. Save your time and money to just get the walnut blasting done every 50k miles. It's the only truly effective way. Besides, walnut blasting services have become a lot more common these days and prices have dropped significantly. You should be able to find someone fairly local who can do it for about £350.

I’m in a 16 plate octavia estate so pre facelift and a 1.4 but still has 150hp. Although it feels like there’s more. If you really want the extra power then I would go for a re map. Find a good garage local to you with a dyno. For £300 you should get to 180 easily depending on your car. However maybe running higher fuel has been known to get the car to make 160hp. I ended up not getting the remap as I felt the car is fast enough for uk roads. In 3rd gear you can keep up with a gti. Golf r estate owner was very surprised the other day. He though I was in a vrs. Above 100 then the 200hp plus cars pull ahead but I want to keep my license. In the end I got my stock wheels painted black, got some wind deflectors, tinted windows rear only, and a good set of tires on the front. Next would be door mirrors and front grille in black and then I’m done.

Seeing as it has the same EA211 designation does this apply to the 1.5tsi?

Hey man. Nice video. I’ve got a question I wonder if you can answer. I’ve had a 1.4tsi Touran 2014. I think it’s 148bhp. Petrol. I imported it from cyprus to uk when I moved back here. The mpg in colder weather has really dropped (38mpg has gone down to 30 on a highway, and 34mpg has gone down to 23 around town!). I was wondering what advice you could give aside from my light driving style, if there was anything I could do that would increase mpg. I got such a good deal on the car and generally love it so don’t want to switch to diesel if I can avoid it.

[@torquecars]

Drop a gear when cruising to make sure the engine is at least 1400rpm for the 2 cylinder mode if you have it to cut in and this really adds economy. Then try to use a max of 2000rpm most of the time, this seems to give me the best economy. Is the EGR working properly? Do you have an economy mode on your dashboard controls, this will add a little. Tire air pressures can make a big difference so make sure these are up to the correct levels, and I get better fuel economy from premium fuel, I use Shell Vpower as much as possible. Run some BG fuel cleaner through and make sure the injectors are as clean as possible. If the mileage is creeping up you might have carbon build up on the intake which will sap some fuel economy.

[@NasserAlazzawiTV]

@@torquecars thanks so much for the reply! EGR is fine. Its a 1.4tsi DSG which I forgot to mention and I just use it in D mode. It does often hover between 1400 and 1900 on its own as I'm not putting my foot down. There does not appear to be an Economy mode available to this model (however there is on my 2014 Golf 1.6tdi DSG). I will check out the tyre pressures for sure and try premium unleaded. Question 1. I've ran the Fuel Cleaner through and have more in the boot. Should this be multiple times in a row, or should it be once every few months for example? (am I wasting my money repeating it on every fill?) Question 2. Should I consider a remap for MPG or is it only worth it on Diesels?

[@torquecars]

Ah I'm in the UK so assume everything is a manual! Some cleaners have very little active ingredients, the one I'm happiest with is BG, this works well and for me is a 20-30,000 mile only requirement. Good quality fuel should already have a fuel injector cleaner in it so that keeps the worst at bay. A remap will not do much for fuel economy on these engines, it will give a nice power bump and make the car more fun to drive. The gearboxes on those do change at the best point for economy unless you use sport mode, it is hard IMO to improve that.

What about the reliability of the EA211 evo?

[@torquecars]

They just got better and better with each revision IMHO. I am currently working on videos specific to the EA211 onwards. I find that most people search for "1.4 TFSi" which is annoying when there are so many revisions and versions, so the first videos I have put up (this Mods one & the Problems one) were primarily aimed at the early ones, but still 80% relevant to later ones. The early models included the EA111 twincharger which was groundbraking but had a fair few issues. I personally have a 2015 1.4 TFSi and have had no problems at all with it. It is fair to say upgrades are somewhat limited on the newer revisions as camshafts were pressed into the head and I don't think the aftermarket turbos have caught up with it yet.

Hello, I am planning to but a 2014 Audi A3, which has been driven 98000 KM. I am confused as the badge on the says 1.4T and not 1.4 TSI or TFSI. Is this a different engine ? Also are the Cod engines different or all the TSI and TFSI engine comes with Cylinder on Demand ? Would really appreciate the help as this is first car.

[@torquecars]

The engines all use direct injection or stratified cylinder injection, so the modernTurbo is assumed to be direct injection and the Stratified Injection SI or Fuel Stratified Injection are just different names for the same thing. VW tend to use TSi and Audi tend to use TFSi. Not all engines came with Cylinder on Demand. This was mainly on those with a 150hp output and from around 2014 onwards, there are some regional differences. VW call this Cylinder Activation Technology or something like that. At 1400rpm at low load in economy mode the dashboard will show "2 Cylinder Mode" when it cuts in and you might notice the subtle purr from the engine whilst it is running on 2 cylinders.

Hello, great video. I was wondering, I drive an Audi A3 Etron 1.4 TFSI and planning to go for a stage 2 remap, I just fitted a sport cat and would go with a k&n panel filter. Will I be set with these changes for a stage 2? Or am I missing out on mods in order to keep the car running nicely.

Hey does anyone know where is 2009 Audi a3 1.4tfsi Pcv valve? I searched on internet couldn’t find anything:(😢

[@torquecars]

Look for the pipe which connects the top of the engine to the air intake and follow it back towards the engine, the PCV is at the end of this yellow brick road on the engine end.

I have a twin charge07 golf with no compression played 8000 cash lasted 1 hour don't know what to do can u help with some gidence

[@torquecars]

What do you mean by no compression? Zero compression measured in the cylinders? This could be the piston rings gone, or a serious head problem. Did you buy from a dealer or private? Which country are you in as different laws apply? Did it run then stop on you or just not start again?

I have a 2010 vw golf mk6 estate 1.4 tsi twincharge engine with a stage 1 @ 205hp with 70k miles , no other mods yet , though I'm looking for an air intake and dv for more sound. I'll be happy getting my car to 230-250 hp, the biggest limiting factor on my car is probably the dq200 dsg7 gearbox it's already had a rebuild and clutch pack

[@hey.....]

@rokbaselj835 the cars okay mine even before the remap would misfire on anything less than 97 ron , though I just run tesco momentum 99 as my car was still misfiring under acceleration on 97 , it had a gearbox rebuild, timing chain replacement, though i replaced the water pump/ supercharger electro magnet all the pulls , tensioners and both belts. 4 coils and 4 spark plugs , I service the car every 6000 miles only using castrol 5w30 LL and bosch oil / air / cabin filters every 6000 miles and the fuel filter every 2 years . Just be religious with maintenance and never drive hard until the car is fully warmed up, and you should be fine

[@hey.....]

@slavigorski2739 No, i haven't remapped the gearbox yet. I was waiting for my warranty to end for that . The clutch, fly wheel, and selectors were replaced . Atm, I'm looking into upgraded gearbox though I find my self wanting all wheel drive on this car too (like my ateca) as the mk6 golf r rear diff and sub frame is a straight forward swap from what I have read

[@richlewisbikes]

Thanks very much for your info. Just found out your channel. I have a 2006 Golf V 1.4 TSi (BMY) 140 HP. I renovating the engine now and I planned to remap as I understand that the BLG version is just a map difference (nothing physically different). My understanding is that I could change the pulley on the supercharger (you have any specs for this?) and a re-map. My goal was to have at least 170 HP (as the BLG version) or a bit more. Its still a budget car as such so not planning to change any other physical changing (Turbo etc). Thanks for letting me know. I subscribed. Keep up the great work and help you give all of us!

[@pazupazu2781]

98/100 octane is a must for 150hp+ anything less WILL destroy your OEM pistons.... K03 turbo will push to 200 hp easily(1.2bar max) for more you need hybrid Simple KN (open/closed or panel) air filter along with proper tune on dyno (rich AFR to reduce knock etc) you can get to 147kw(200hp) no problem Main issue are pistons since they are made with wrong silicone amount in them they will crack when pushed past 200hp or runnin on low octane.(more power-more heat-pistons material start to crack-End) Hope it hepls I have same car so ask if you need more tips

⁠@@pazupazu2781would this also be compatible with a 1.4tfsi 2015 audi a3? i believe it may need to be adapted to fit but would this work?

Hi, I have this engine 1.4 TSI EA211 code CZCA 92 kw/125 horses, unfortunately it was offered for damage Rapid only with DSG7 DQ200 (dry double clutch) Many companies do not want to increase the power and torque with regard to the clutch for this combination. what do you think ?? (translated via Google Translate)

[@gribarry6087]

Thanks, i have a 2010 A3 8p stage 1, but i feel like i need more

[@torquecars]

You'll always want more, I've never met anyone who's said I now have enough power time to stop upgrading things. You will find the first 30% hike is quite cheap and the next 10% will cost double that and the next 10% 3 times as much again. Bear in mind you'll have traction issues on these at around 225hp, which definitely spoils your fun.

Is the 122hp basically the same as 140hp / 150hp? Just different electronics?

[@torquecars]

I think they had a different turbo, probably the TD02 but I'll check this, I'll need to get this all ironed out for my next video. What year is the 122hp version you are asking about?

If it is the ea211 versions, they have different turbos, and i think the crankshaft is forged on the 150hp

Love the video! Id be very curious to see what can be done to the 1.5TSI cos I have one and Id love to make some healthy numbers on the dyno;)

Can this apply to the 1.2 TSI

[@torquecars]

Mostly, yes, they are very similar in design and construction. The block and many components are shared between these models. The turbo specs may well be different for a lower CC engine. I will focus a video on the 1.2 TSi in the future and have added this to my production list. What year do you have?

You should do your research a bit better on the intake system, because there is a restriction on the EA211 engines.
