Ramee's Tiguan Build Thread 155KW DSG

[Ramee]

Yesterday night did some data logging while picking up my wife from Uni. I used my car tablet and Bluetooth dongle for logging. Wanted to check whether I have to do something to bring intake temperature down. Obviously turbo boost value is incorrect and further research showed OBD 2 can not read MAP sensor reading from VAG cars. Torque app just use MAF reading to calculate a boost value which is not accurate.

Ramee, has anyone ever told you that you are mad?

In relation to your question about intake temps, I don't think you're going to have problems with 10degC ambient temps unless you were driving your car very hard (and then possibly not even then).

If your question is whether you need to get a front mount intercooler or not the answer is obviously YES!

I'm getting one fitted in 2 weeks time mainly to keep engine temps down. I figure I'm running a tune and temps are going to be elevated purely because the engine is running harder/hotter so the intercooler will help to balance things out.

He he.. I get it all the time.. Those two engine rpm spikes were due to a BMW driver who did not want to accept his fate

I think Tigs already got FMIC , but love to upgrade it with a better one. I heard 10 deg intake temperature drop equates to some xx HP gain or some thing ? Aslo FMIC or Stealth WM is going to be a hard choice ..

Yes you need to upgrade the FMIC to stop the intake temps increasing. You won't get any noticeable increase in performance just less of a drop.

I would go for a turbo upgrade before doing something like water/meth. That would be mad enough

My new car tablet gauge Interface


I connected the tablet power to car lighter power supply and used android Automagic app to switch on and off screen when car ignition on and off. Also same app can be used to build complex automation processes and launch and kill specific apps based on different events.

My target is to interface an IOIO board to tablet and monitor and control different sensors and actuators through tablet, such as real boost gauge and a WM control system

After long time I got some holidays from work. I was finally able to finalise my Tig audio install.

Sub install complete.





DSP install complete.

Looks pretty good and you don't lose any of the boot space

Thanks! I am happy the way it turned out too. Sounds all right but not the best I have ever heard on a sound setup. But compared to what it was much better.

Nice job.. are you doing it yourself or with an installer?

All done by myself ..

Tiggy is getting ready for her first service at 8500k/6 month service (oil change). I am doing this by myself as my dealer refuses to do it saying it is not necessary at all. I will also paint her claw nails in Blue.

[Ramee]

Also Tiggy got new pedals. I had to do throttle body calibration through VCDS to get her idling RPM correct after accelerator pedal install. Also installed a keyring protector from Ebay.

What about the flappy paddle wheel mod. You doin it?

Yeah .. That is one of the future mods(bit expensive mod too) I am planning to do. Also I am thinking of doing my intercooler first before summer hits.

You can buy the DSG paddle shifters from boldsport for about $150 but not sure if you can retrofit these onto a non-paddle wheel. Would be a fantastic mod to do if these can be retrofitted. Turns an $800 mod into $150-$200 which is a lot more achievable.

I am about to take off my DSG shifters and replace with S2T ones so I'll have a look at the mounting and cables while I'm at it. It may be that these can be bolted onto a stock Tig wheel which would be great.
