Assessment

The Volkswagen Touareg 4.2 V8 TDI 340hp is a 4.2L turbocharged diesel engine producing 340 BHP and 800 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 400 BHP and 950 Nm — a gain of around 60 BHP (18%) and 150 Nm (19%).

This engine has moderate remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as moderate, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

From a technical perspective, the ECU is a Bosch EDC17 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
