Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

[Sharkie]

May as well move to a K04 (and port that before installing it) i guess.

I like this idea ..... as a bonus the Amarok has the best access to the turbo on ANY VW I have ever seen.

Got a new little gadget. Should have time to fit the Sprintbooster sometime over the weekend.

Nice - they help with the throttle lag. I have one too. Takes all of 5 mins to install neatly so get out there now

I'm liking these ideas. What would the parts cost be to do a k03k04 hybrid?

Sorry guys no turbo upgrade on the cards here. Not unless I get a small windfall and even then it's unlikely.

Got the Sprint Booster installed. Relatively simple except I couldn't find a way to get the pedal off without busting the tabs holding it to the floor. Oh well I guess I'll have to upgrade the pedals now too

No opportunity to test tonight. Will probably find the setting I like and pull the plug on the remote.

Yes but then you have to tune it and for better or worse I've headed down the APR path on the tuning front. Also if I'm going to put a K04 into the Tig, I'd want/need to upgrade the brakes at the same time... Then it would be a real weapon. But seeing as I'm not tracking it or putting it down the drag strip there doesn't seem to be much point.

I'm really interested to see how the Sprint Booster goes in conjunction with my DSG tune.

Well who would have thought that such a little box would have such a big effect on how the car drives.

It has definitely improved how the car gets off the line. "Red" is just a bit too enthusiastic for day to day driving but "green" is pretty much right.

May play with it a bit more before pulling the plug on the switch.

Sounds very interesting, how much?

These are US$299 from most places online. Ended up costing AUD$321 landed with purchase of 2x units.

It's a lot for just an inline adapter but I think the improvement is worth it.

Launch Control

It's taken a bit of time to get around to editing this one, however here's a recent video of using launch control on the Tig. Expert iphone camera work by AdamD:

Launch control knocks around a full second off the 0-100 time

Hahaha, that looks awesome!
Good video!

Yeah was a bit of fun making it too

The Tig launches quite well. No real fuss - just hooks up and gets going.

Sounds awesome too!

Yes I always say video clips don't do exhausts justice.
