Chip tuning for MAN TGL TGL 180 180hp (132kW) 700Nm ECU

MAN TGL (I) TGL 180 180hp (132kW) 700Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the TRATON Group (Volkswagen Truck & Bus) group (Германия, 1758). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 180 to 205 hp (+25 hp, +14%) and torque from 700 to 805 Nm (+105 Nm).

MAN shares some engines and platforms with Scania within TRATON. MAN is part of the TRATON Group (the Volkswagen Truck & Bus division). The TGS, TGX and TGM are MAN's main truck series. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Euro-6 truck engines. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output. The factory calibration is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life.

Stage 1 on truck diesels focuses on torque for loaded running. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. Mid-range MAN trucks are a mainstream chip tuning subject in logistics.
