Chip tuning for MAN TGX TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm ECU
MAN TGX (I) TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the TRATON Group (Volkswagen Truck & Bus) group (Германия, 1758). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 480 to 550 hp (+70 hp, +15%) and torque from 2300 to 2645 Nm (+345 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. 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. Top diesels in long-haul tractors sit at the power ceiling, and Stage 2 requires hardware.
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. Top MAN units sit at the power ceiling of the European truck segment.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Stage 1 effect on the MAN TGX TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm?

How does Stage 1 differ from stock on the MAN TGX?
Stage 1 chip tuning of the MAN TGX is a rework of the ECU maps: boost pressure, ignition advance, target lambda and the removal of factory torque limiters. The gain is +70 hp with no hardware changes.
What is the Stage 1 potential of the MAN TGX TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm?
Stage 1 for the MAN TGX TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm unlocks the potential built in by the factory but artificially capped to meet mass-market targets. A base of 750-800 hp is achievable once hardware is added.
How much does Stage 2 add on the MAN TGX?
Stage 2 on the MAN TGX TGX 480 480hp (353kW) 2300Nm means software + hardware (exhaust, intake, intercooler). The gain depends on the specific hardware combination.
What happens to the MAN TGX warranty after chip tuning?
The factory warranty of the MAN TGX does not remain valid after Stage 1 — the manufacturer withdraws its obligations once the ECU software is changed. CHIPOK provides its own warranty on its work and support.
