Reply With QuoteThis 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.

Anyone added a stage I to their Tig?
Had a mate who added the ABT harness to his S3, and had fun results.
Wondered if anyone had treated themselves for their Tig...

For a fraction of that price I would much rather get a proper ECU stage 1 tune or go with a JB4.

So a JB4 box will give 200kW without any other mods. Certainly looks good value.

By "proper" I mean an ECU flash tune as opposed to a tuning box which changes the signals being sent to the ECU running the stock software.
There's a few options if you're in Melbourne - RD Technik, APR, Revo, E-tuners and probably a few more all have dealers there.
Cost will probably vary a little between brands/workshops but I'd budget on $1000-$1500.

So im i reading this right ?
70 odd kw with a tune,and no hardware for 1500 bucks ?
230kw for a tigg puts it right past a stock R for next to nothing

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.

Correct. But if the Golf R tunes his he's up to 270kwaw....
Yes bang for buck a stage 1 tune is great value.
