Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

[tigger73]

very sexy, I like how it doesn't look "cheap" like those REVO kits.

It doesn't look cheap because it wasn't

RRP on these is $795 + shipping. I bought it in the Xmas sales when they had 10% off (and another 5% discount on Ebay).

It's still pricey but it looks almost stock. If you didn't know what you were looking at you probably wouldn't know any different.

Here's the before and after videos. It's a subtle change in the induction noise and I think you can feel the increase in air flow / reduction in restriction.

Stock intake:




R600 intake:

Sounds very OEM, I think under WOT you should be able to feel and hear little bit of difference. With a tune, DP and turbo swap the R600 will increase induction volume and sound.....

Well done on your first performance mod.

Yeah haven't really had the opportunity to go WOT yet to test it. Sound will definitely change with all the other mods but I like that it isn't obnoxious.

I'll have to see if the 0-100 has changed. I know usually intakes make bugger all difference

Is there a summary of everything you have done on this build? Looked at the start but maybe its further in?

I will have to get around to updating the post on the first page but car is pretty much stock with an intake and some blacked out trims. Don't want to disappoint you from reading through 300+ posts.

On order are TTE475 hybrid turbo (due to be completed manufacture shortly). I'll also be placing an order for an intercooler shortly (likely Wagner) and will also be getting a DP, turbo inlet elbow and turbo muffler delete. After that it'll be on the dyno for tuning. So the discussion is more about the preparation and all the exciting bits are yet to come...

What are the plans for a dp and exhaust? (I assume this is necessary given the turbo and other mods)

DP will likely be RD Technik Mk7 R or equivalent. Exhaust will probably come later - it's actually not necessary for tuning as cat-back section is only for noise (DSG farts and over-run crackles).

I am looking to source a stock Mk7 R exhaust and looking to modify this to suit. There's a couple around but looking to pick one up at the right price when it comes along. I'm in no real hurry on this as I've got plenty of other things to spend $ on and getting the cosmetic stuff will happen later.

This car needs a bit more noise more than anything else I feel. I can't even hear any dsg farts stock.

Agreed. I’ll see how the sound goes with DP, turbo and intake installed and go from there.

Would love to see a step by step write up of how you eventually install the mk7 R exhaust on your Tiguan! That’s def a project on the cards for me too.
