How engine remapping works on a petrol Volkswagen Golf/Vento

Petrol engines are remapped by refining fuelling, ignition timing and, on turbocharged engines, boost control. Done carefully this releases performance the manufacturer left in reserve, giving sharper throttle response and a stronger top end.

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