Tuning / performance update

[smipx013]

Hi,

Thats really useful information - thanks.

It tells us that the gearbox is rated to 440Nm. The upgrade from superchips (Bluefin) ups the newtons to 378Nn. ( http://www.mybluefin.co.uk/index.php...els&Itemid=135 )

In my mind this means that the gearbox is well placed for a moderate increase as supplied by a Superships (bluefin) type of remap and the engine is also fine for 175Bhp as VW produce a 170+ Bhp variant of the engine which, as far as I'm aware, is identical to the 140bhp version just with a different map. 4 motion is presumably also good for the extra power.

This is enough to satisfy me.

I found through research that most companies will take the diesel to around 380Nm, I havent seen any higher yet.

But what about ca intakes and exhaust Simon? and then there's fuel pump and turbo upgrades to go. Should be good for close 400hp

Clip, our new engine revision doesn't need a fuel pump upgrade I'm waiting on my intake it should be here in a couple of weeks.

sama what sort of air intake are you looking at?

I'm definitely getting the Neuspeed CAI when I've got the $$$. Had lots of Neuspeed stuff on the VR6 and it really is awesome quality.

had a look at their website, which parts do you suggest?

I've got to get the exhaust with it too though. I'm probably wrong, but I reckon the chipped Tig needs the exhaust as much or even more than the intake. I reckon it might help in the upper rev range where it falls off noticeably. A freer flowing exhaust tuned to the new map I'm sure would overcome most of this and give an even better power spread (if it was a bike it would anyway ).

Of course it needs the air too, so both hand in hand should do the job quite nicely.

...but are we allowed to talk about this sort of stuff though? (just jokes everyone, just jokes )

I'm getting this one;

Exhaust would be nice John but damn it's big $$$

maybe Guy might come up with something.

I suspect a tuned Tig will need both intake mods and exhaust mods to make it all work well together.

APR will have a Carbonio intake shortly for the Tig and the exhaust should follow soon as well. Remember that an APR exhaust gets a retune which liberates another +-11kw.

I played with the intake on Saturday and had it all out and a pod filter in, in a similar setup to the Neuspeed kit. Disappointingly it made no real difference to the intake sound and probably on its own made no extra power either. I'm a little bit wary of the Neuspeed kit as potentially there are differences with the mountings of the airbox to the other 2.0TSI engine applications. Put it all back to stock afterwards but it was great to "discover" where all the little bits go for future reference.

I took some pictures and will post up as soon as I have a moment to hook up the camera to the PC.

Sorry for the late response guys, I'll be getting a BSH stage II intake as I have sold some for the FSI and it's very good, you can find some info on the intake on the Golf MKV forum from the US, the workmanship is great and fitment is just perfect. I also think the exhaust is a most for the Tiggy but I reckon there aren't many out there (I think in the US just Techtonics Tuning and it uses Borla muffler, so it's a piece of s%/t) I haven't found the downpipe either and that is the next step, hopefully APR launches it soon as Sharky stated.

Here is the link check it out:

So this BSH intake will DEFINITELY fit the Tiguan?

[Guy_H]

APR Carbonio ones will be up on the website early next week - all the fitments have been confirmed for the 4 variations of the AUS versions

[Pullstarter]

Any rough estimates on prices yet Guy?

Don't know and I'm not confident it will either. More than the Neuspeed though.

We really need to have a look at the Golf GTI to see the plumbing to the stock airbox as I suspect it is different to the Tiguan. The Tiguan has a really convoluted feed to it whereas the Golf's may be more straightforward. This then places the airbox slightly differently which will make fitting of a CAI different. I doubt it is 1 size fits all in reality.

Happy to be wrong though ....
