I’m not sure I totally believe the 0-100 for the JB4. APR claims 5.0 dead and 80-120 faster than a Mk7 Golf R.

Wouldn’t think the JB4 was quicker.

I suspect it may have been run on a slight downhill.

Had the APR stage 1 loaded a few weeks ago and it is impressive.

Also installed a APR High flow turbo inlet pipe, ECS silicone turbo inlet hose, BMC air filter and removed the snow guard.

Be keen to see the 0-100 now

I'm running a R600 already so I cannot wait to get my Stage 1 Tune, patiently waiting to get a confirmed file from RacingLine.

Save your money and get a custom tune mate, Bayside Performance do great custom tunes.

Sounds like a good plan. So in terms of a high level plan, subject to saving enough coin for the “mod - sinking fund”-

1. APR stage 1 tune (done)
2. BMC panel filter (done)
3. Remove intake snow grate (done)
4. APR turbo inlet & inlet pipe to airbox (done)
5. VW racing turbo muffler delete (done)
6. TCU tune (researching)
7. APR MQB AWD downpipe (done)
8. APR stage 2 tune (not required)
9. Resonantor delete (to enable louder pops and bangs, DSG farts) (not required)
10. IS38 turbo swap (done)
11. APR intercooler
12. APR hose kit
13. CTS Turbo outlet pipe
14. “SIKTIG” custom plates - extra 10kw
15. APR decals and stickers - extra 5kw

Realistically, I will prob stop at no.8....

Ok, just updating my mods list to reflect a couple of extra upgrades today.

VW Tiguan 162 TSI Highline w/ R-Line & DAP.

Hi,
Yes, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a second hand IS38 and fitted this today along with an APR 3” downpipe (DPK0021). I was able to reuse the VWR turbo muffler delete, APR turbo inlet, silicone intake sleeve and BMC filter. I have also enabled pops and crackles, as the downpipe also has a mid pipe section that replaces the resonator.

I have borrowed a VBOX, so I will post some 0-100 times when I get a chance.

Car pulls light a freight train....

Oh man!! I'm so excited to hear more about this and see a 0-100 time!!

Can you take a passenger to record a video on your phone as well?

Nice work!!! Hope you got a later revision IS38. Did you get it balanced before fitting? Was this a standard IS38 or high flow version?

Was that pops and crackles in the tune file or do you just get them with the mid-pipe/lack of resonator?

Yes please. My guess is mid to low 4's....

I can only imagine. Effectively a stage 2 Mk7 Golf R in a Tig.

Standard IS38 off an S3. It is the revision H model which is recommended by APR and sorts out the earlier turbo failure issues.

Was that pops and crackles in the tune file or do you just get them with the mid-pipe/lack of resonator?

APR calls it pops and bangs, it’s a specific IS38 pops and bangs file.

Yes please. My guess is mid to low 4's.....

Fingers crossed.

Yes.
