5N Tiguan with IE Tune

[LMAA]

Cheers Tigger. Although the car was purchased new, it's quiet a few years old now. The cost to go stage 2 (tune, controller, dp, IC, trans tune) seems to be getting more and more when the cars realistic value is $15k maybe?

Now at 63k kms, the Tiguan is such fun to drive.
Stage 2 IE tune is perfect.
Have done a few mods now, such as TCU tune, larger S3 intercooler, Eibach springs, rear sway bar, front engine strut brace, DBA slotted rotors & extreme pads, etc. 230awhp
I'll finish it off with shocks, cat-back system, and a nice little K04 turbo with the IE stage3 tune. Pretty happy with the Laborde Motorsports stage2 TCU tune for the DQ500. A big upgrade over stock....

72,000kms, all going well.

Just installed a K04 HPA hybrid turbo 2 days ago with the help of a mobile mechanic. Was a hot 39deg day, but got it done. Fits perfectly, however Ive now lost boost reading to my boost gauge. Line comes off the intake manifold. I haven't looked into it yet, just test driving and enjoying the IE Stage 3 K04 tune I flashed on afterwards (eventually, lost signal after the erase procedure so had a fright there that's for sure). The Tiguan is manic now, pulls hard through the gears with wheelspin in 3rd gear. Awaiting an upgraded CTS engine mount to hopefully help a bit.

I'm expecting the 2.0tsi EA888 gen.2 engine should now be north of 330hp, I'll get it onto the dyno soon-ish but first need to do some datalog runs in 3rd on a straight out-of-the-way country road. So far so good, the IE K04 tune feels good
