JFA Stage 1 Tuning - 420BHP / 500Nm

The 2.0TFSI engine, equipped with larger turbos and an optimised compression ratio, delivers up to 296 BHP (300 PS) / 400Nm (292lbft) in the Golf GTI Clubsport and 316BHP (320 PS) / 420Nm (309lbft) in the latest Golf R. This high-performance variant is also utilised in popular models such as the Audi S3, Audi TT S, and Volkswagen Arteon R.

Please note this dyno graph shows raw data measured at the wheels. Our system then calculates drivetrain losses to produce engine power figures.

Our custom tuning enhances the power and torque to over 420BHP (426PS) and 500Nm (369 Lb/ft) using 99 octane fuel. We achieve this through a fully recalibrated engine management system that seriously boosts both power and torque. Our bespoke ECU remapping surpasses standard or generic tunes, involving a straightforward installation of our calibration. We connect directly to the ECU via the OBD port, which enables rapid programming and the option to easily restore original settings.

Extensive testing and revisions on the road and our Mustang 4WD dyno have allowed us to significantly enhance power and torque, not just at peak values but across the entire rev range, enhancing drivability and expanding the power band.

The tuning process takes about 2 hours, and we also offer optional before and after power assessments for an additional fee. Our extensive experience with the E888.4 equipped Golf R and GTI Clubsport is calibrated to the highest level ensuring optimal balance between performance and reliability. Given the significant power managed by the front wheels on the Clubsport, we have carefully tuned the performance delivery to maximise traction in each gear.

For the E888.4 2.0 TSI engines paired with the DSG transmission, we offer TCU calibration upgrades to enhance torque management, clutch control, and shift performance.

FAQ's

Do you offer a 12 month warranty?

Coming soon…

What is motorsport use?

Motorsport-exclusive components are explicitly designed for track use. While they can be installed on any vehicle, it’s important to note that using such parts renders the vehicle unsuitable for road use and may result in MOT failure.

Will the lifespan of my engine be reduced?

No! Our remaps are designed specifically to improve the performance of your vehicle whilst remaining within the tolerances of your vehicles’ components.

Sadly, in attempt to achieve ‘big numbers’ some other companies over tune engines, placing excessive stress on the engine, transmission, cooling systems, etc, leading to reduced life span and reliability of the vehicle. We pride ourselves in producing reliable remaps which do not over stress your vehicle but still produce impressive results.

What is covered with the 30-day money back guarantee?

In any case where a customer is dissatisfied with any ecu remap software supplied, within thirty days of the supply date, the customer can request their money back. In order for any refund to be processed, the customer must present their vehicle to our workshop and allow our technicians to restore the vehicle to its original state. On successful completion JF Automotive will refund the cost of the remap to the customer.

No refund can be granted unless the vehicle is returned to the original state by JF Automotive. The 30-day money back guarantee only applies to stage 1 remaps and does not apply to other services like pops and bangs, parts or dyno sessions.
If another modification is purchased alongside a tuning file, which relies on a remap to operate, only the cost of the file is covered by this guarantee. We reserve the right to withdraw this 30 day money back guarantee.

Read full Terms and Conditions

Can the remap be reversed?

Absolutely. We offer this service free of charge if the vehicle is brought back to us. We’ll be very surprised if that’s what you want after taking one of our remap products, however in the case of lease cars some customers prefer to put the car back to standard before returning the car. You might want it back to standard if you are visiting a dealer for warranty or service work, again we will do this for free. Should you lose your tuning files due to dealer actions or parts failure we will be happy to re-install the map onto your car free of charge where possible.

What if a main dealer wipes the map with a software update?

No problem, simply bring the vehicle back in and we will take a fresh read of your ECU and write you a new map file free of charge. We offer this as part of our lifetime software support.

Do I need to notify my insurance company?

Whilst the remap is undetectable to dealer equipment, you should notify your insurance company of any modification to your vehicle. Many insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you’re tuning for increased economy however a failure to disclose modifications may invalidate your policy. You may wish to enquire with your insurer if the modification will affect your policy prior to choosing one of our services.

Why we don't you offer ECU remapping for £200?!

We get asked, “Why do some tuners charge as little as £150?” There are a few factors as to why we do not offer remapping for £100-£200!

We supply custom written files for each vehicle that we remap that take in to account condition, milage and customer request of each vehicle. Our services are fully insured with a 30-day money back guarantee and lifetime support for the tuning software supplied. We constantly invest in the most up to date tuning and diagnostic equipment and software and we offer a quality service to all our customers.

Overall our custom supplied tuning software is of the highest standard that we know of, so if you want the best of the best, choose JF Automotive.
