    Reasonably impressive for a stock SUV.

    This time around I'm making sure I have a good baseline for comparison

    I terms of end game that is still up in the air. One of my main concerns is to maintain the drive-ability. High flow IS38's don't really come on hard until 4,000rpm. I'm looking at a punchy street car and not a track/drag car. Considering high flow IS20, IS38, hybrid IS38 pros and cons at the moment. It comes down to $ and bang for buck plus overall drive-ability in the end.

    I'd like to get 250kwaw and sub 4's 0-100 but I'm not sure at this point whether this is something that I want to sacrifice the daily driving for and whether I can achieve both outright performance and responsiveness.
    Bang for bucks is definitely IS38 stock turbo. Brand new for $2k or second hand for half that. Hybrid IS38s are x2 or more the cost, and from what I’ve seen don’t deliver twice the performance. Not sure about hi-flo IS38 and the incremental benefits over stock. In saying all of that it would be awesome to see a hybrid IS38 Tiguan with more than 400HP.

      Use VCDS or OBDEleven and disable the torque reduction, feels like it allows a bit more slip and launches heaps harder

          Yes IS38 is a reasonable option, however I don’t think it’ll take me to sub 4’s. But maybe I shouldn’t be aiming for this with a 2 litre 4 pot and still maintain a good response.

                    Pulled up, jumped out and took some shots, jumped back in and headed off. It's a roadway so I was trying to be quick ad not paying massive attention to how parallel I was parking. Black lines on the road are parallel but not going exactly straight either...

                      Reference to all 4 wheels not sitting level to see the new ride height properly.

                      Got a before and after pic side by side?

                        Yes road is not level. I tried some before / after shots at the workshop:

                              Ride is great. New springs absorb a lot of the small bumps better and are firmer / car sits flatter around corners.

                              You can feel that the COG is lower as there’s definitely less body roll.

                                I had the same Pro-Kit springs in gen1 Tig (125TSI) and there wasn’t significant drop in the back. I haven’t loaded this one up yet with bags of concrete but expect it won’t drop too much more when under load.
