Yes but I was surprised that this applies to the base model Tiguan... 4 motion and plenty of power from a 33k car. Would smoke a GTI until you get to the first corner

according to the graph the stock tig has 212hp or 158kw??? i thought even the yanks only had a 147kw petrol

WOOT! It's official!! After 1000kms on the clock I'll be getting me some of that

And just for a little tuning inspiration:

Those numbers are all the inspiration I need

Even though my target is 210-220kw ...... CAI, FMIC & exhaust should get it there ...... on the GTI the exhaust alone is worth 11+kw

Someone spotted it before me!

Thanks Philthy

I don't know where i got this one from?

No worries, was just having a sniff around the APR site for anything new.

Hmmm, I think I have to do that!

The Tig is a pretty good package already, with some outstanding handling characteristics if you want to explore them (it surprised me). So this performance upgrade is just what it's crying out for.

I can't help thinking this is what the car was designed for in the first place.

What I dont get with the APR gear is that none of the tunes are car specific.
If you were to do the CAI, FMIC, ZORST or even to run larger cams etc would you still get the same APR chip that someone would get with a stockie?

With previous cars that I had tuned, they were all put on a dyno and AFRs were tuned to that car and its mods as we all know that each car is different.

How does plugging in an APR chip without any dyno time work?!? Unless the VW ECU is somehow self learning..

If you were going to do intake and exhaust mods would you get a better and safer result with a Haltech / Wolf 3D and a custom dyno tune? Not to mention probably cheaper too..
