2019 132tsi Tiguan Mods.

Hey Gladbach,

I hear you, ultimately it always comes down to dollars. Hopefully you'll find a good Golf R in your range as people start trading in for the MK8.

Update time,

Well the 132 is still at UGP, everything bolted up and running well, making nice boost etc. The final tune is taking a bit of time, mainly due to the slight engine difference between the Tiguan and Polo GTI. Compression comes into play, as does the Tiguan 132 is designed more as a "eco" model, so there's more to factor in with torque limits within associated factory set-up.
I'm giving the guys at UGP as much time as needed because this is relatively new territory, and mine may be the first 132 Tiguan going this route. They also gave me a courtesy car to use whilst mine is being developed, so I can't praise them enough. I've been given an idea of final output numbers, and I'm surprised given the lower tolerances of my engine, and keeping within safe and daily driven requirements, but will save posting until everything is finished.

Yeah I had heard guys in the US going custom tune with an IS38 as they get the EA888 3B motor there as well. I think they ran into similar issues that you're having so it probably just takes a bit of time to sort out the file. Keen to hear how you go.

If they get it sorted, there could be a few future T-roc’s heading their way

100% though I think the T-Roc version of the EA888 3B has more similarities to the Polo than the Tiguan. But either way it's great to see a local tuner doing some development on this platform.

How so?
whats the difference, a slightly different tune; internals; or both?

They're all slightly different tunes:

Tiguan 132TSI
Max power, kW @ rpm | 132 @ 3900-6000
Max torque, Nm @ rpm | 320 @ 1500-3940

T-Roc 140TSI
Max power, kW @ rpm | 140 @ 4900 - 6000
Max torque, Nm @ rpm | 320 @ 1500 - 4800

Polo GTI
Max power, kW @ rpm | 147 @ 4,390-6,000
Max torque, Nm @ rpm | 320 @ 1,450-4,390

T-Roc has the broadest toque curve, however peak power is delivered a bit later in the range. Tiguan looks detuned in comparison to the other 2.

Any update @OzTurtle?

Hey iDiesel,

Not yet, I'm itching to get it back but want the guys at UGP to be 100% happy with it. With restrictions easing here in Melbourne they're slammed with extra work, and having told them to take their time, mine will be pushed back a bit. Hopefully this will be the week I get it back, and will post my experience as soon as possible.
