How engine tuning works on a petrol Volkswagen Golf/Vento

A petrol remap re-works the engine management calibration: air-fuel ratio, ignition advance and boost where fitted. The result is more power and a more immediate throttle, delivered by software rather than hardware changes.

For reference, TSI and TFSI are the Volkswagen Group names for its turbocharged direct-injection petrol engines.
