Resonator delete for 162 TSI R-line?

[Pzero]

Not sure if you guys have heard this... Especially for those who haven't got their Tiguan yet.
162TSI sound check.

That's the R (concept only), and VW have come out and said that they won't be going ahead with the R model.

Doesn't stop us from making ours an R[emoji12]

Yes. Tune and full turbo back exhaust should fix it

May need to beef up the brakes or the DSG ?

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that this was actually a Tuner mod'ed Tiguan and not a VW built concept. If you look at the images of it driving on the road (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqAOKOrvj20) it looks like it has standard R Line seats and brakes along with the usual badges. Surely if it was a VW concept they would have used upgraded bucket seats (from a MK7 Golf R?) and brakes??

They are quoting this "Concept" as having 300 HP but APR can apparently get 316 HP with just an ECU flash then the upgraded exhaust system would only add to it.

I would expect well over 300 Kw and closer to 350kw with ECU, intercooler and exhaust system fully modded. Also minimum 98 octane.

Just what's needed to do the weekly shopping. [emoji106]

gladbach is on the money on this one, further research on this and it was the concept R version what reinforces this is that the car was kept in the vw shed at the Nurburgring, if a tuner car that would not of happened? They can have it, will just build our own.

on another note we might be getting the Tiguan coupe producing 320 horses, but maybe they will take that off us too.

I think you're getting hp and kW mixed... APR quote 235kW (316hp) for stage 1 and 250kW (336hp) for stage 2.

If you upgrade to an IS38 turbo and install an APR DP you'll get to 288kW (386hp).

I was referring to a more "one off" high boost installation.

I had an equivalent installation in my 1974 1.6 Litre Toyota Celica. I ran 1.5 Bar above atmospheric using a twin scroll Garrett TO4B turbo fed by a 2" SU with a 1/2 inch ID fuel line, outputting to a 3" down pipe eventually reducing to a straight through 2.5" exhaust.

I had to put 1/2 inch thick asbestos sheeting down the fire wall and all the way under the front passenger seat to reduce the heat cooking the passenger's feet.

On a car that cost me $3,573 brand new on road, I spent over $5,000 modifying the motor alone. (During this period, I was heavily involved in car club motor racing. I raced this car in the open category.)

With the racing cam it had nothing below 3,500 rpm then all hell broke loose right up to 8,000 rpm.

I transmitted the power through a Borg & Beck 8.5" solid centre twin plate clutch.

Brakes were 4 piston calipers off a formula 5000 racing car.

I might add the motor lasted 20,000 km before it needed to be completely stripped down. When we looked at the top compression ring gland it had stretched to double the height.

Along with 100 octane fuel, I ran a separate alcohol injection set up into the inlet manifold.

As you might have gathered by now, good fuel economy was not a criteria. But "puttering" around Melbourne I achieved a maximum of ~20 miles per gallon. On the race track it dropped to ~3 miles per gallon.

(Oh well. Those were the "good old" days. )

Kudos for pioneering Resonator Delete mod and good to hear you have experienced no drone.

I did the same with my Octavia RS, same engine although the exhaust piping and resonator is vastly different. There was a resonance on the Octavia at 2.5k rpm whenever the engine is being lugged. Not loud or boomy, sounded more like a buzzing noise instead. I added straight through resonator and it 95% fixed the issue. There is DSG pop with the mod for our car .

Saw this video from APR in Germany. Investigating as to wether the downpipe product comes with the additional resonator delete pipe as shown in the video.

Got my friend to drive the Tig up and down the street while I stood outside to listen to the exhaust. There's definitely a nice 'crack' from the DSG as he upshifts.
The exhaust sounded quite good from the outside, a nice burble on idle and a throaty note when accelerating. On the inside - you cannot hear anything. These Germans definitely know how to sound insulate their cars.

the 1000k's run-in period is starting to get closer and I can't wait to install an ECU stage 1 flash. The Tig standard is quite a zippy car (according to my friends), but to me it's just so sloooooow. Obviously coming from a stage 2 Golf R, you can understand why. I Might go with Unitronic. I am sure after the flash - the Tig's exhaust will even be louder and she'll have the performance to match her looks.

Anyone think that the Tig needs lowered springs and wheel spacers? Found a site in Germany selling Eibach springs for the Tig, but I am not sure if they'll fit. These springs lowers the car 30mm.
