Really want to see what your makes.. Ever considered trying a custom tune now that you have run in the IS38?
To be honest, I’m not hugely interested in the dyno numbers, there are a few Russian APR IS38 Tigs that have been put on a dynojet and are making good power. If there is a dyno day in Melb I’ll rock down for a dyno and a chat, I prefer vbox/dragy timing for 0-100 and 1/4 mile. That’s for me the real world experience and comparison.
VW Tiguan 162 TSI Highline w/ R-Line & DAP. Mods: OEM IS38 turbo, APR IS38 98 RON ECU tune, TVS Stage 2 + with custom TCU tune, APR Downpipe and resonator delete, APR turbo inlet, VWR turbo muffler delete, APR pendulum mount, APR dog bone insert, APR Open Pod Filter (MQB), RAMAIR intake tube, APR Red Ignition Coils, NGK R7437-9 Spark Plugs, DBA T3 slotted rotors front and T2 slotted rotors rear, ATE ceramic pads front and rear Vbox: 0-100 4.1s

I am more interested to see the curve of the power and torque graphs than peak dyno numbers as area under the graph is what matters, not the peak number.
With all this increase in horse power are any of you thinking about cornering stability?
I've been slowly putting together a shopping list of items as I wait for my first service to come around before I start spending money and whilst I have lowered springs on my list I've been wondering about sway bars and suspension.
Just putting it out there to see what you lot think.
Want a sway bar asap. Going to visit Harding when he gets some in and compare the Mk7R ones to my factory ones. I'm going to assumes it's the exact same just longer links..
I’m pretty happy with the stock adapative suspension.....
On my previous k04 Tig I had ST height adjustable suspension, white line front and rear sways, superpro control arms and front and rear end links. Overall handled very well, however ride quality was sacrificed.
I think this time around the most I’d do is sway bars, however the KW DDC suspension is very tempting. I’ve heard good thing’s about H&R also....

What’s on the shopping list?
Turbo swap?

Most of my shopping list is products from Hardings. I'm quite taken with Racingline.
My recommendation is to collect all the parts and get the install done at the same time. It’ll work out a lot cheaper in terms of labour cost than doing things but by bit and building it over time.
You need to pull the DP and intake pipes out to install the turbo so you may as well do all these at the same time rather than paying to install/remove and install again.

Good to know, although lowering the ride height a fraction is something I'd like to do early on.
Thanks for the suggestion of DDC suspension!
Yes a turbo swap. Either an OEM IS38 or a hybrid, not sure yet.
I'm looking at a stage 2+ going by my list at the moment.
CAI, DP (with CAT), upgraded intercooler, HPFP, oil catch can, ignition coil packs, upgraded spark plugs, uprated lower engine mount and torque link, even a turbo blanket!
Oh and ECU and TCU tunes to match. Looking at going with Etuners in Sydney for all this.
