Apparently not

[team_v]

My new suggestion is wait for the late 2015/early 2016 release of the Mk3 Tiguan and get the base model 2.0T petrol.
Seeing the results for the 3rd Gen EA888 engine it is crazy.
The GTI 7 is pulling 235kw at the engine (216kw at the wheels) with just a stage 1 ecu remap.

Yes I've seen the results from the new gen 3 EA888 engines and they are a significant increase.

The only problem is I can't find any information about the MQB platform Tiguan anywhere. It still seems to be more than 12 months away... And probably closer to 18 months to 2 years by the time we see it here.

I'm still having a hard time finding anything to replace it with.

Going off previous release schedules, i would say motorshow release early 2015, Aus release September 2015 for the initial batch (usually fully loaded) and then February 2016 for the first lot of customer ordered factory builds.

It is a long time to hold out for it in the hope we get the EA888 3rd gen engine.

.. Without spending 2x as much ..

Rob a bank?

Pyramid scheme?

Male gigolo?

Not sure where you are getting those figures from ..... GTI 7 Stg 1 pushing a bit less than that in current testing ..... still a lot more than a GTI 6 Stg 2 though ..... and not far off a current K04 Tiguan .....

EDIT: It has been a week since I last saw the GTI 7 results so could be possible ..... a lot can happen in a week. I'm sure Guy will post the Aussie results (on the hub dyno) up in his thread when the software is released.

Tigger73's VW Tiguan 125 TSI Build Thread

I think it's partly due to the new turbo setup on the Gen 3 EA888 engine that they're getting those kind of gains.

So that's a 15 month wait for a new base model. Hmmmm

Saw the accountant yesterday and looks like I may be able to keep the Tig a little bit longer... Due to all the mods I've added along the way I've still got a bit of depreciation to go However still looking at doing something in the next 12 months.

Same problem though as it's going to be hard to find something to replace the Tig with.

Finally found a solution to your dilemma .. KIA Sportage (this can keep up with stage 2 Tig without any mods )

The guy clearly wasn't using LC in the Tig.... and no guarantees that the Kia wasn't chipped either. We don't get the turbo Kia here either so you really can't compare these cars in terms of what is available locally.

Top of my list at the moment is either a MY15 130TDI R-line or a base model MY16(?)162TSI Tiguan... just depending on when the update is going to arrive.

Also, the Sportage didn't appear to have any passenger where the Tiguan had at least one.

Lol.. Look again ( I don't blame you if you can't see one , we are all biased !)

Ramee, if that's just some random video you got off youtube then fair enough but if it's you then the cops (in NSW at least) would classify that as street racing - even if you are within the speed limit. Not a good idea to post evidence on line

Are you serious brad? Or just joking?

Last time I was in NSW I'm sure they spoke English (mostly) there and most cars (if not all) had their steering wheels on the OTHER side of the car .......
