Owners and drivers of models from the VAG ranges using the diminutive 1.2-litre turbodiesel engine, the 1.2TDI, can now enjoy additional performance and potentially, fuel economy thanks to the latest addition to the range of ECU conversions from global leader, Superchips.

The engine is used in several of the VAG manufacturer ranges; the Volkswagen Polo, the Skoda Roomster and Fabia and the SEAT Ibiza. Giving 75PS from the factory, the Superchips conversion increases power by 14bhp at 3068rpm and torque by a very healthy 37Nm at 2673rpm.

The full power and torque curves can be seen by clicking the following link:

The curves from the Superchips conversion follow those of the original engine perfectly but are shifted upwards, meaning the power delivery of the original engine will be unchanged – the driver will simply have more power and torque available to improve performance and in-gear driveability.

In addition, they can expect to enjoy gains of up to 7% in fuel economy, when compared with a similar pre-conversion driving style.

The conversion uses Superchips’ EPC device which, when fitted to the vehicle, optimises engine fuel, ignition and turbo boost settings.

The device can be fitted by the owner and is supplied with the necessary wiring harness and full-colour instructions. Alternatively, it can be fitted by one of Superchips’ nationwide dealers and the price of both the DIY and dealer-fit conversion is £449, including labour and VAT.

The conversion is covered by Superchips’ no-quibble seven-day money back guarantee and the device itself is also covered by Superchips’ four-year product warranty*.

Drivers and owners of the two-litre turbocharged petrol version of the Skoda Superb can now enjoy significant performance gains, thanks to the latest addition to the range of ECU remaps from global leader, Superchips.

The Skoda Superb III 2.0 TSI leaves the factory with a healthy 280PS. However, the Superchips remap adds a very useful 42bhp at 5884rpm and an even more significant 61Nm torque at 2604rpm.

The delivery with the remap mirrors that of the original engine but with significantly greater values for both power and torque. Not only will this make the car more rewarding to drive, with improved acceleration but also, easier to drive in day-to-day conditions, thanks to the additional torque.

The conversion uses Superchips’ EPC device which, when fitted to the vehicle, optimises engine fuel, ignition and turbo boost settings.

The device can be fitted by the owner and is supplied by the necessary wiring harness and full-colour instructions. Alternatively, it can be fitted by one of Superchips’ nationwide dealers and the price of both the DIY and dealer-fit conversion is £449, including labour and VAT.

The conversion is covered by Superchips’ no-quibble seven-day money back guarantee and the device itself is also covered by Superchips’ product warranty*.

World leaders in ECU remapping technology, Superchips, has announced a further addition to its collection of products for the VAG line-up. Its latest addition is for the 1.4TSI ACT engine, used in ranges from Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT and Audi.

Using Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) and developing 140PS, the turbocharged direct injection engine is used in the VW Golf 7 and Polo 5, as well as the Skoda Octavia Mk3, the SEAT Leon Mk3 and Ibiza Mk4 and the Audi A1 and A3 Mk3.

The Superchips remap adds a significant 34bhp at 5627rpm and 63Nm torque at 2562rpm. The shape of the curves follows the outline of the original engines but shifted up significantly, from approximately 2200rpm.

Not only will this increase the low-to-mid range performance and with it, improve everyday driveability but also the top end power is increased, resulting in greatly-improved acceleration and driver enjoyment.

The full power and torque curves can be seen by clicking the following link:

The conversion is carried out by one of Superchips nationwide dealer network and typically takes less than an hour, since the process is now carried out using the vehicle’s OBDII (On Board Diagnostics) port. Customers can either wait at the dealer or drop off their car and return later to collect.

The cost of the VAG ACT engine remap is £365 including VAT and labour. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

Global remap specialists Superchips has introduced a range of conversions for the two-litre turbodiesel engine used extensively within the VAG range of cars, rated at both 150PS output and 184PS output.

The 150PS common rail version of the engine appears in the Audi A3, A4, A5 and Q3 ranges, the Mk7 VW Golf, the SEAT Leon III and the Skoda Octavia III. The 184PS version, on the other hand, is found in the Audi A3, SEAT Leon, the Skoda Octavia vRS and the Golf 7 GTD.

The Superchips conversion features typical improvements to the engines’ power and torque outputs, with power from the 150PS version increasing by 26bhp at 3096rpm and torque by an impressive 62Nm at 2301rpm, right where it will make the most difference to the car’s driveability.

The 184PS version sees power increase by 32bhp at 4220rpm and torque rises by 59Nm at 2042rpm.

The power and torque curves for the VAG 2.0TDi can be seen by clicking the following hyperlinks:

Not only will the remaps give improved low speed tractability, they will also improve overall response and performance. A further benefit is the potential for the owner to see an improvement of up to 7% in fuel economy when compared with a similar driving style.

The remap uses Superchips’ EPC device which, when fitted to the vehicle, optimises engine fuel and turbo boost settings.

The device is fitted to the vehicle by one of Superchips’ nationwide dealers and the price of £399 includes labour and VAT. The conversion is covered by Superchips’ no-quibble seven-day money back guarantee and the device itself is also covered by Superchips’ product warranty*.

More go for VAG drivers from Superchips

Drivers of cars powered by the VAG 1.6-litre TDI engine can now benefit from improved performance and potentially, fuel economy, thanks to the latest ECU remap from global leaders, Superchips.

The company has carried out its renowned in-depth development process on the turbodiesel engine using the Siemens Continental PCR2.1 management system in 75PS, 90PS and 105PS guises, to realise extra power and torque from the popular engine

VW Polo BlueMotion

Thanks to Superchips’ experience and expertise, the output of each specification of engine rises to more than 140bhp, representing gains of up to 64bhp above the quoted power output for the 75PS version, for example. Torque figures are similarly impressive, with gains of up to 90Nm at 4212rpm, again demonstrated on the 75PS version.

Irrespective of the initial output, the improvements in torque and power are demonstrated throughout the engine’s rev range, making the car far more driveable and enjoyable as a result. The full curves can be seen by clicking the following hyperlinks:

105PS

http://www.mybluefin.co.uk/curves/16TDI105PS.pdf

An additional benefit is that if driven in a comparable manner, drivers can expect to see improvements in fuel economy, of up to 7% over the original specification.

The 1.6TDI engine is found in a wide range of models, from four of the VAG Group’s most popular ranges: The VW Golf, Jetta, Touran and Polo (including BlueMotion versions); the Audi A1 and A3; the Skoda Roomster, Fabia and Praktik; and from Seat, the Leon, Altea, Ibiza and Toledo*.

The conversion is carried out using Superchips’ bluefin device but the car’s management system must be bluefin-enabled first by a Superchips dealer. They will then either apply the remap themselves or supply the customer with the bluefin device, so that the original map can be re-installed at a later date, if required.

The cost of the conversion is £365 when carried out by a Superchips dealer, fully inclusive of labour and VAT, or £399 for the bluefin. The cost of the bluefin enabling procedure, if required, is typically £60 including VAT, although regional variations may apply.
