ABT Tune 213kW

[NZ_GolfR]

Actually I believe this is the engine in the 132TSI as the article states it has 11.7 compression ratio which matches up with the 132TSI specs.

The only difference is that the US based cars will get the 8 speed auto and not DSG.

Hard to tell as the power and torque they specify in that article (184hp and 300Nm) is different to the 132TSI (177hp and 320Nm) we get. Possibly a different model engine again for the US market especially is this model is going to be built in Mexico.

Yes the article is all about what is happening in the US, however I beleive it's the same engine as what we're getting here in 132TSI guise. We are a "hot weather" climate so often get our cars derated compared to outputs in US/Europe.

This isn't stage 1 tune - it's a tuning box. If I was to get a tuning box I'd be going with a JB4 - lots of people runnig these on MQB platform cars here on the forum.

A proper stage 1 tune on a 162TSI will take it up to ~235kw.

My friend has a 132TSI, so would he be able to tune his to 162 or higher???

The 132TSI in the 2nd gen Tiguan is completely new motor / higher compression ratio to any of the other 2.0 litre petrol engines. I don't know if there is any tuner out there with a solution for this engine at the moment.

It's completely different to the 132TSI in the first gen Tiguan - even though it has exactly the same power output and model designation, it's completely different engine model number.

I haven't seen anyone quoting performance figures for this engine. I believe it's only being run in the mid-spec Tiguan at the moment.

I imagine anything you do will void warranty?

Short answer yes.

If you modify your car the part that is modified (or effected by the modification) is not covered by manufacturer warranty but would be covered by whatever warranty the aftermarket part/tuning company has.

Wouldn’t it be neat if VW would offer different tunes/mapping’s as a paid upgrade! Tesla do it.
They would likely charge a premium to mitigate any warranty issues, but I’m sure some would pay - some of the aftermarket products cost an appreciable percentage of the vehicle purchase price.

ADR's may be an issue? I am only guessing though but each tune would require emission and fuel consumption testing and god knows what else but I bet there is more.

True. VW 'Hot Climate' policy as well
