ECU remapping hybrid turbo dyno testing diesel engine

Vehicle Volkswagen Transporter T5
Engine 1.9 TDI
ECU EDC16U1

This Volkswagen T5 1.9 TDI, controlled by an EDC16U1 ECU, was fitted with a hybrid turbo. The video also refers to an earlier tune at another workshop, which reportedly produced around 181 hp and 359–360 Nm. Those figures provide a comparison point for the subsequent work.

After the ECU file was revised, the dyno recorded approximately 210 hp and 380 Nm. Engine data was reviewed during testing as well: recorded fuel delivery was about 64 mg against a requested value of 70 mg. A pressure reading of 1.6 bar is also mentioned in the video.

The technician considered fuel delivery a possible limit to further power gains. Injector replacement and fitting a larger intercooler were discussed as potential next steps, not as completed work.
