Volvo V40 2.0 T4 Stage 1 Remap
On Volvo V40 2.0 T4 turbo petrol engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the boost pressure, ignition timing, fuelling and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.
It depends on the generation and the stock output. 2.0 T4 engines with 180–190 bhp reach 200–225 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +35 bhp (2.0 T4 190hp). Pick your version in the table below.

How a Stage 1 remap works on the Volvo V40 2.0 T4
Stage 1 recalibrates boost, ignition and fuelling. Since the T3, T4 and T5 largely share hardware, the gain is clear. The 8-speed automatic's torque capacity is respected in the calibration.
Pre-remap checklist
- Ignition coils, spark plugs and fuel quality.
- High-pressure fuel pump.
- Boost leaks and intercooler.
- Automatic gearbox oil service.
