Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Actually you need a modified tune file when you put on the dump pipe as this allows higher flows out through the exhaust.

I don't think there's any problem, though often this will throw a CEL. You just won't get the full benefit from it until you have it re-tuned.
All the other bits you can bolt on/off (CAI, cat-back exhaust, intercooler) without upsetting the ECU, however the DP is the only thing that requires a new file. That is unless you change turbos of course!

The DSG tune will only give you a higher launch RPM (if you want/get it).

back to my original post, getting the DSG tune but not a Stage 1. The most frustrating thing is the h u g e pause when trying to accelerate. As has been noted here it is very dangerous in it's current state.09 Polo GTi "Elke" | APR DV1 | H&R 35mm | Bilstein B8 | Remsa Pads | Pioneer |

Had a day off yesterday so thought i would 'bight the bullet' & go & get the Stage 2 file loaded... I thought "i wonder if APR have a sale coming up", as they usually do 10% off twice a year. So i went onto their website & noticed stage 2 is no longer listed for the Tiguan! I then called up the national distributor to find that it is still available (as it is in their GTI section), but the price has more or less doubled!
I'm fairly certain it was around $260 earlier in the year, but is now $395 plus an hour's labour ! (they used to waive the labour charge if you bought a down-pipe from them, apparently) Think i will just be satisfied with the Stage 1 file... Still happy with it!Current: MY18 TRANSPORTER CrewVan, Indium Grey
