Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Yes if you’re going to buy an IS38 then at least this one has upgraded bearings in it plus the ability to make a little more on the stock IS38 doesn’t hurt [emoji6]

    • I’ve been hanging to do a new vbox run with 4500 RPM launch control enabled, however the Melbourne summer is proving a tad hot for my liking. We have 30 + degree weather everyday this week, so I will be monitoring closely for a window of opportunity....

                    You could do both....especially if you are intending to keep the Tig.

                            I'm going Wagner as they are the only one with a kit for the Tiguan. I believe the hoses are different lengths.

                              Do you have a link by any chance, I was just going to pick up a mk7r kit.

                                Comp. Intercooler Kit VW Tiguan AD1 2,0TSI – Performance Brands Group

                                The standard MQB and Tiguan AD1 kits have specific part numbers so definitely some differences between the 2. I've tried to find out but I'm pretty sure it's just hose lengths.
