A modest but real gain. Worth it for drivability and mid-range pull rather than headline power.
What each stage needs
| Stage | Power | Torque | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 286 bhp | 1120 Nm | None |
| Stage 1 | 331 bhp | 1289 Nm | Software only |
Risk on this engine: low
- Significant 16% gain: boost and fuelling pushed beyond factory settings.
- Diesel: no knock risk. Primary risks are EGT, turbo health, and injector wear.
How to keep the risk down
- Check intercooler efficiency before tuning.
- Monitor EGT under hard driving: sustained temps above 700 C accelerate turbo wear.
- Keep a copy of the original ECU file before flashing.
