Hello All,
I recently purchased a near new black tig with 2000kms, have put 5000km on it with the main goal from purchase to get a stage 2 tune.
Made a few mods first up:
Golf R Black wheels
Eibach Lowering Springs
IE Intake
Turbo inlet pipe
Full Vinyl chrome black out kit

I then visited a renowned European car tuner in Sydney and they scanned the vehicle to ensure they could tune the TCU, he advised me they could.
I returned a few weeks later (2 days ago) and they worked their magic and installed:
X-force catless downpipe
NGK Spark Plugs
Couldn't get access to the TCU to tune it but he advised me this was ok because it has the DQ500 gearbox

In total the engine mods have cost me $5400 and they knocked off $700 for not being bale to do the TCU tune.

Dyno results:
Before:
134.6kw @ 5879rpm
276.2nm @ 2895rpm

After:
189kw @ 5736rpm
376.5nm @ 2895rpm

When i first drove the car I was disappointed to say the least, the spark i was expecting wasn't there, certainly does not feel like an extra 55kw or 100nm.

I put this beside a friends Tiguan, exactly the same model with a $1000 Revo stage 1 and res delete and was further disappointed, my car was a little bit quicker off the mark but up to 100km/h he stayed no more than 2 car lengths behind me.

Was i Expecting to much? Feel like this has been a huge waste of money.

Keen to get everyone's thoughts.
