I’m a little shocked we can’t get 500 ponies out of this motor on a moderate tune. 20 years ago my buddies were getting 350hp from a 1.8l with a moderate tune. I think it’s just going to be awhile longer to give the tuners more time to play with configs. Exhaust, downpipe, turbo size are also in play…From looking through the various modules out there it's about 30 HP for $500. There is one that offers 7 Stage tuning which looks interesting but you can only go up to Stage 3 with pump gas. The other stages just are not practical for me.
I'm waiting for a tuner & mapping program that allows parameters changes for upgraded part(s).
