Mk2 Tiguan Tuning

[Melbourne_Tiggy]

Does anyone have dyno runs of the stage 1 tunes before and after? I know the claimed increases are there but it’s always nice to see the before and after graphs. Underground performance do abit of work on VWs in melb

I haven’t done one on mine for the APR tune, however if I get the TCU tune from eTuners Motorsport they are offering a dyno run for $100. I might be able to get the “after” dyno. I’ll post it if I get that done....

So for the sake of science and research I’ve bought the new “dragy” GPS based performance monitor. It is meant to be as accurate as a VBOX at a far better price, the big positive is that it allows you to record the data in an app and bench mark against cars globally!

It’s arriving over the next few days. When I get a chance I’ll record some times for 0-100 with and without LC for stage 1 APR 162TSI.

Ok...drum roll. On the new Dragy performance monitor I recorded a best time of 5.45s 0-100km/hr using launch control. Note the current temp outside is 29 degrees celcius, there may be a little more improvement to follow perhaps on a cold day. So pretty happy about the APR stage 1 tune for the 162 TSI.

That’s pretty good. I think I was getting around 5.5sec on my stage 2 gen1 Tig..

Can anyone confirm if the performance monitor tab in the car menu on the discoverpro unit registers higher Kw than 162 once it's been tuned or does the digital display max out at 162?

That's excellent Melbourne_tiggy, from a quick google that seems on par with the GTI stage 1 so the Tiguan is keeping pace! Congratulations and I am jealous.

Only goes to 162 unfortunately unless anyone knows of a way to change it with OBDeleven etc.

Yes, confirming it only goes to 162 Kw in the performance monitor,
it would be good to see whether it goes to the claimed 230kw. The boost seems to be quite accurate, it does go over 30 PSI.

It would be awesome if someone could let me know whether via VCDS or OBDeleven this can be increased ?

Hi Ozrod, thanks. The Dragy hardware and app allow you to compare your car’s performance against cars around the world. Its mostly USA at the moment that use Dragy, it’s still a new product released Nov last year.

The Tig beat a few stage 2 GTIs on the Dragy leaderboard, must be the 4 motion traction advantage. We are lucky in Aus to have access to Gen 2 Tigs with awd, DQ500 MQB box and GTI engines, I understand they don’t have these in the U.S.

I’ll wait for some better weather and then have another crack, but pretty stoked with the first official run.

5.45!

Wow that's awesome!

Thanks Dan. Hope to improve those numbers on a colder day - it was 29 degrees last night during the run.
