Ramee's Tiguan Build Thread 155KW DSG

Congrats for your work!

Could you please tell me how to remove the door sill? Do I need to unscrew something or is it only to pull the trim?

Regards.

Thanks. To remove front door sill passenger side you will have to remove the hood opening handle first. There is a small clip hidden in the side of this handle and you can use small screwdriver to pry out the clip. but be careful it is very fragile clip. After that there is a small plastic screw under the handle to remove.

Then all you have to do is pull like crazy. I suggest start from the middle of the sill. Sill is holding to the car with few metal clips and just grab the sill from the middle and pull upwards until middle clip is unhooked, then work toward rear and then front to unhook all the clips.

Also try to loosen up the plastic cover of middle pillar at the bottom it will help when removing rear door sill and also putting everything back.

Thanks for the great explanation, but I forgot that in Australia you drive on the right side of the car... I'm in Europe, so I drive on the left and I've to remove the other door sill that you've explained, so to recap I don't have to remove the hood handle, do you know what change?

Cheers.

Ah .. I think in that case all you have to do is pull the sill out

Tiguan Stage-2 performance

After doing all these performance mods to the Tig, one thing troubled my mind was to find a way to actually measure the real world performance of the vehicle. I thought measuring 0 to 100 time and in gear acceleration (rolling acceleration) would be a better way to measure the performance gain. So to measure these values I fiddled with many phone apps , VCDS etc etc and values provided by these methods was bit unreliable and suspicious. So I finally decided invest for a real performance measuring device ( Racelogic performance box).

Got this today afternoon !


Did couple of test runs,

Trial run..




Really went for it ..( Launch control / DSG)

Wow that is pretty quick for a suburban soccer mum car!
Good to have some figures finally.

P.s. Looks like you need a brake upgrade

Thanks... Yeah yesterday they officially released new golf R specs .... 300 HP , 4.9 sec for 0 to 100. I should stop modding tig and save money for "R"

Yeah you'll probably need at a K04 to get you into the 4sec category... But 5.5s is still pretty quick for a 1600kg car with a 2.0t.

Thanks.. Yep I am sure too K04 will do it. But still most people do it experience some bugs with the conversion.. I am considering to go for it but not in near future

By the way if you guys ever wanted to do a 0 to 100 run I can send the Pbox to you. Just please send it back to me after you finished

Wow, thats awesome. Mum tractors & tunes for the win.

[Lucas_R]

That's a faster time than i've gotten in my modified manual Golf R - the take off makes or breaks your 0-100kph time (depends how much sympathy you have for your clutch) and then 2nd gear is really short and only gets you to about 96kph, therefore you need to hit 3rd gear to crack 100kph. I think 5.7 or 5.8 is the fastest i've recorded in mine.

The 0-100kph is where the DSG (with or without launch control) kills the manuals. Less so once you are moving.

LOL . I hate when you guys say it is a Mum's car.. After all it is not a Ford territory ..he ..he :-P

Also I could get 104 octane map too..

Can you run E85? It's rated at 105ron. The main thing besides the hardware being resistant to ethanol damage is if the injectors have enough headroom to cope with the extra flow required.

As far am im aware - there are no injectors available at present for these direct injection engines that can flow enough for E85. Water/meth injection is an alternative for now - although illegal on the street im sure you can hide the install.

I am not sure it can ... Besides Apr tune do not support it .My goal is just to run sunco for experimental purposes and in drag strip.
