Tiguan IS38 and Big turbo upgrades

Will tuning houses provide a TCU tune on an APR tuned car?

Yep. They will.
Some APR dealers can do TCU tunes, notably 999 and Eurotune in Queensland.

APR hardware is some of the most expensive on the market. There’s definitely more cost effective ways to get the same sort of power levels.

The good thing about APR is that they have spent a fair amount of time in development of their tunes with their hardware. The bad thing about APR is that unless you follow their cookie cutter recipe then the results aren’t guaranteed and the file may not be optimal for the hardware you have installed (if you don’t buy all their bits).

You’ll pay ~30-50% premium on the hardware as a result.

I thought you were getting into the low 4s with your tune and hardware? Most have seen that from someone else here. There's a lot of pages I've read through.....

I have a TTE475 (hybrid IS3 and am currently running low 4’s 0-100 (~4.2sec). Though this is with a file with low boost in 1st gear and launches softer than stock.

It’s been tuned that way for mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain. I have no doubt with a higher boost 1st gear and elevated launch rpm it would be in the high 3’s.

I’ve run 240kwaw on a reasonably hard to please dyno so that matches up with other numbers/figures people have been quoting.

That's insane speed for an SUV..... What was the round number cost of doing your mods?

A question none of us are comfortable to answer. I tell myself $10k and if the Mrs ask it's half of that again.

And this is why we bought the Sportline model and spent the rest of what it would have cost to get the R-line on go-fast bits. So we missed out on leather seats, a fancy body kit and whizz-bang LED headlights but spent the rest on turbos, intercoolers, intake pipes, exhausts and tuning

I still own a clapped out R33 Skyline, guess it's only fair I use such bogan vocabulary

Deep down, most have a bit of bogan in us, I immediately thought of a C.I.G locker instead of that expensive flash bit of LSD lol.
Definitely showing my age 😂
