ABT Tune 213kW

[popeye]

Correct. But if the Golf R tunes his he's up to 270kwaw....

Yes bang for buck a stage 1 tune is great value.

I Would have my doubts on pushing another 70kw from the engine without any hardware changes. The clutch, turbo and stuff are definitely not prepared for that extra load just by a software change.
I contacted a very decent Dutch tuner and they can pull out around 35-40kw with a proper engine specific ECU stage2 tune.

And I think that also is the case because in The Netherlands they dont sell the 180bhp diesel but it's downtuned to 150bhp.(due to emission and laws)

No, they are talking about the 162kw (220ps) TSI engine which is the same engine and turbo as what is in the Golf GTI which can easily handle an extra 70kw without any hardware changes.

The gear box in the Tiguan (the DQ500) is also much stronger than what is in the Golf and can handle much more power without any issues with clutch slipping like what the Golf can get.

How is the Series 2 Tiguan 162kW engine different from the Series 2 Tiguan 132kW engine?
In the first series Tiguan, I thought the 132kW engine was a detuned version of the 155kW engine which was used on the then-Golf V GTi?

First gen the 125/132TSI was a detuned version of the 147/155TSI.

Second gen they've worked out that people were buying the cheaper car and tuning it. So the 132TSI in the gen2 is a different engine to the 162TSI - compression ratio is significantly different betwen the 2. So it's no longer just software.

Yep, the 132 has a fair bit more compression than the 162. Suggests the 162 gets more fuel rammed in by the turbo, so it's probably a different turbo or a software tweak...

The Tig T2 TSI is running the Gen 3 EA888. The very latest B-Cycle variant.

The Tiguan was the first to receive the B-Cycle version:

I don’t think that is the engine in the Tiguan currently available here, I think you will find that is for the larger 7 seater Tiguan that the US market will get. The HP on the engine is only rated at 200HP (the 162TSI is 220HP) and it says it will come with 8 speed gearbox not the 7 Speed DSG we get.

Well spotted - I thought it was a worldwide article

[tigger73]

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.
