New Passat 206TSI R-Line

Hi All,
Can someone tell me what sort of KW and NM increase I can expect from a Stage one ECU mod. All else remains factory std.

Thank you,
David

Probably best to look up the gains from the various tuners on the Golf R. The engine is identical.

Hi Adam,

still on on my trip overseas and mine is waiting at the dealer. I'm interested in the fitting of the towbar. I also ordered mine with the towbar. Can you give a couple of pics. Looks great.

Thanks Wm7503

For a flash tune you can get 270-290kW and 400-420Nm depending on the tuner.

If you go with one of the tuning boxes (JB1, etc) it'll be a bit less, say around 250-260kW.

You should be able to better that on the torque front. The stock Audi S3 engine is now 400Nm. APR stage 1s are close to 300kw/500Nm in the Golf R

Thank you again tigger73.

I think my hotting up days are over especially in light of the insurance company voiding your cover if you don't tell them. If you do tell them, they either refuse to insure you are ask for a first mortgage on your home each year.

Also, where can you use it safely on our terrible roads today. The only place is on a race track. Taking a Passat 206TSI wagon on the track to compete against Golf Rs etc, really would be a joke (on me.)

I'm still young enough to dream.

There's quite a few insurance companies that will insure modified cars for not that much more than others. I'm insured through RAA here in SA and they're OK with mods to a point. Shannons and JustCar will insure just about anything you want.

Gentlemen,

I have looked through the VW website and I cannot see any reference to Area View included with the 206TSI. Can someone confirm yes or no?

I see the new Tiguan Highline with Driver Assist Package provides Area View. I really like this as I have difficulty guaging distances and I tend to be "too" conservative.
Thank you,
David

Hi all,

Question from the ignorant. How does the Skoda Superb 206STI wagon compare with the Passat 206TSI wagon. In 5,000 words or less why would I buy the Passat over the Skoda?

Thank you,
David

Yes. Many years ago, I used Shannons to insure my road registered track car.
