Mk2 Tiguan Tuning

[tigger73]

My wife told the same too... my compromise -> no hardware upgrades but tune is fine
Tuned my car yesterday, drives much better, difference like night and day, best bang for buck one can get

Need to change you signature......

I really need to stop reading this thread, wife told me I need to leave the daily stock........

As did mine but I had it tuned anyway. Now she’s more than happy with the extra power.

Just took my car to Tarmacengineering/BPS/Spectune today for a stage 1 tune today (1400kms on the clock)
They are doing it for a pretty good price
Will update with results later
(my desire to tune the car has become too much, couldn't wait any longer haha)

Very keen to see the before/after if you have it.

If you don't mind sharing the price I'd be interested to know that too (PM if you're uncomfortable sharing in a public post).

When I finally get around to doing mine it will probably be with these guys.

Just changed the thread title to better reflect the direction of the thread - more general discussion on tuning rather than specific brand(s).

I have a question regarding dump pipe, does it require a tune immediately? The only reason I ask is due to looking at the is38 path once I hit 10k kms.

No you don’t need a retune, however you will get a CEL without the tune. This is one of the main things the stage 2 tune does is mask the fault.

Dan, I got it done for $995
I'll be getting the before/after dyno from them in a few weeks time, as those guys are installing a new dyno at the moment
will post the before and after as soon as I get it!

Also question in regards to IS38 upgrade, can it happen before upgrading downpipe? How restrictive is the stock downpipe? Is it more restrictive than a stock golf R DP?
was just wondering if anyone has done IS38 as the first step
(The path I took for my mps is: intake>fuel pump>downpipe>Gtx2867>fmic)

Depending on your tuner you may have to pay each step for a re-tune. There is certainly some cost benefits in working out the end game, getting all the parts together and installing everything at the same time. You'll pay for the tuning once. The down-side to doing this is if you have a problem it makes it harder to fault-find as you'll have changed multiple things.

I wouldn't go with a standard IS38. If you're changing turbo get a high flow version. Do it once, do it right

My current thoughts it RacingLine's OEM+ Stage 3 Package which includes everything mentioned above.
