My Tiguan APR tuned Stage 1

[adzy]

Good News Volkspower will do a extensive check next week, very impressed with customer care, does sound something going on with the car... will report back !!

Thats because Deancorp tells Dean Coutts everything thats on the forums! Loves APR!

So any update on the sound clips?

[MGV]

I'm keen to hear that sound in real life with my very own ears! I don't have too much faith in sound clips out of crappy computer speakers... A bit more bass under load is what i'm after, but i don't want it to sound like a fart!
Nindey, you have a PM...

I agree that in person is a much better comparison but i used soudclips of diifferent modifications to work out what i wanted it to sound most like then went from there.

Just wanting to know if i went with teh right choice or not

Clay, from what i heard out of my crappy computer (plugged into a Tivoli Audio speaker), yours sounded awesome!

Anyone else here have a normal 6 speed non DSG 125kw Tig that has been tuned by APR? I have to say it only feels slightly more powerful, not worth $1495!! Pretty disapointing really,, doesnt feel more then over 100nm gained and Power increase of 64kw... I am wondering if a free flowing exhaust would make a difference?

Yep, standard non DSG aisin 6 speed slush box (bit of a misnomer) with APR tune...night and day, even with 18" wheels and increased torques I can pull up daily drive on range in 5th gear @ 60mph, although it's more fun left in auto...and i live in the tropics, so Melbourne with cooler temps should be even more noticable.

all the best

We got the trial tune on our auto 125 and it made a massive difference, I'm half tempted to just get it done and not tell mum...

Believe me it is a much more visceral expereience with the windows down and the turbo whistling like a kettle.

It's always easier not to tell them.

'The car goes so well lately. Did you spend again money on it?'
-'Nah...just gave it a wash yesterday'

Update on the sound clips for the resonator delete?

[Nindey]

Well had the car checked by Dean and............ nothing wrong with it, dratts.... still not impressed with the extra ooomph, maybe its the auto gearbox, being the non Dsg, it always want to get to the higher gears in normal mode and when in sports its always at the high end of the rev range, theres not enough time in the sweet spot, manual mode is a lot better but still I wish I didnt go with APR, not worth it in my opinion, maybe a manual or dsg would be better but the Tig is heavy and doesnt feel as powerful then the same tune in a GTI. Oh Well, its still a great car but for day to day driving, there is no point in getting this APR tune if you have a non dsg 6 speed auto, its defiantly not "Massive" in terms of feel between before and after chip, you really have to have the pedal to the floor and then still it just feels a little more brisk... I think I will have put on a Dyno as I am interested to know if it is really making the extra power advertised.

Save your effort mate, been there done that. Disappointing is a feature of the product.

[brad]

can you get your money back? Would be a cheap price for silence

PS, my view is not against the Dealers, they have been great and supportive, there was an option to do a free trial before buying which I could have done before hand but I didnt, so I have no negative feelings towards these guys.[COLOR="Silver"]

I think the disappointment is a 'free' feature though as it isn't advertised and comes at no extra cost. Now thats a positive!
