      I believe you. However, some of us would like to see some official slip for that. Can you post that, or anybody else withe their Tig TSI.
      You know, ...just to bring the end to the argument.

      In a mean time, stay civilized.

        to split hairs, Transporter urges to stay civilized, indicating that civility still prevails.

              peak power? I see a lot of refs to power in this thread as I often do in motoring mags but little discussion on Torque. Sure peak power is of interest, but the torque characteristics are also very important and determine the spread of power (Dynos measure torque and the power is calculated from that).

              Torque is a big part of the reason why the Tig in stock form, while being one of the heaviest of the small SUVs, is substantially quicker than most of the other 4 cyclinder variants of small SUVs. Most of them have about the same peak power as the stock Tig (around 125 kw), but the Tig trounces most of them because it has substantially greater torque over a much wider rev range.

              So the same argument (as Robby's) could have been mounted against stock TSI's - 'dont tell me the stock tig with just 125 kw of power and heavier than the others beats them by 1.5-2 seconds in 0-100'. Well it does and that is due to torque.

              Peak power is only part of the story.....

                  After the downpipe has been added on, do i ask APR for a stage 2 or do i ask for stage 2+ because the tsi has the upgraded fuel?

                    If you have the intake and the downpipe then you should get the stage 2 software thrown in free....

                    I don't know of a Stage 2+ arrangement.

                      I don't know of a Stage 2+ arrangement.
                      I don't have anything loaded on the car but if APR bundle free software when i buy the DP+Intake i'll sign up no probs.

                      Or do you mean if i already had paid for software i get it for free?

                      • As far as i am aware the process is as follows.

                        Buy APR Stage 1 Ecu remap.
                        Then buy Downpipe and Intake and you get a free sorftware update to Stage 2.

                        From memory you cannot jump straight to stage 2 without paying for the software though.

                          And given the Tiguans power:weight disadvantage this is an excellent performance ..... for a performance hatch do you really need to look elsewhere ? .... Up to a 100km/h , which in reality is all you need in and around the city, the Tig would be quicker than any of these ......

                            The base TSI was available for 33,900 in the June sale, so if you add on an extra 1.5k for the Ecu remap it comes in at 5k cheaper.

                            Sharkie was just pointing out an average cost for what you would pay with no deals.

                              I have always observed that 14.5s is closer to 6.5s 0-100 awd cars. It's what Wheels has recorded in tests of 06 WRX's and even in fwd's such as the Mazda3 MPS they did 14.6/6.7. But in a stock 05 Forester XT auto they did 14.8/6.6

                              I have often wondered how the advantage of awd cars faster 0-100 times than fwd cars translates across to 0-400m times and speeds? Does a faster 0-100 time always mean a faster 0-400m time?

                                But will a base TSI with stage 1 remap and still with its spare wheel and rear seat do 14.02s? And I wonder what the others would do on the same day under the same conditions in the hands of krracing?

                                I'm not questioning the value of the stage 1 remap on the 125TSI. It appears to be the best bang for your bucks improvement being offered on any car - Golf R power for cheap that's for sure.
