Resonator delete for 162 TSI R-line?

[Pzero]

Not sure if you guys have heard this... Especially for those who haven't got their Tiguan yet.
162TSI sound check.

That's the R (concept only), and VW have come out and said that they won't be going ahead with the R model.

Doesn't stop us from making ours an R

Yes. Tune and full turbo back exhaust should fix it

May need to beef up the brakes or the DSG ?

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that this was actually a Tuner mod'ed Tiguan and not a VW built concept. If you look at the images of it driving on the road (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqAOKOrvj20) it looks like it has standard R Line seats and brakes along with the usual badges. Surely if it was a VW concept they would have used upgraded bucket seats (from a MK7 Golf R?) and brakes??

They are quoting this "Concept" as having 300 HP but APR can apparently get 316 HP with just an ECU flash then the upgraded exhaust system would only add to it.

I would expect well over 300 Kw and closer to 350kw with ECU, intercooler and exhaust system fully modded. Also minimum 98 octane.

Just what's needed to do the weekly shopping.

gladbach is on the money on this one, further research on this and it was the concept R version what reinforces this is that the car was kept in the vw shed at the Nurburgring, if a tuner car that would not of happened? They can have it, will just build our own.

on another note we might be getting the Tiguan coupe producing 320 horses, but maybe they will take that off us too.

I think you're getting hp and kW mixed... APR quote 235kW (316hp) for stage 1 and 250kW (336hp) for stage 2.

If you upgrade to an IS38 turbo and install an APR DP you'll get to 288kW (386hp).
