Tiguan IS38 and Big turbo upgrades

[davman]

so no extra GST charge either then.

[Beedub]

Nope. I was expecting it.

The mods are done.
I'm a little confused on the final figure when I look at what others have achieved, but nevertheless I'm stoked with how the car has turned out.
The ride height is spot on too, and while firmer it isn't rough. It's perfect.

It turns out when I took the car back the tune had been dialed back to 212awkw. The tuner had tried to explain to me he was reaching for 240+ but kept getting engine knock. I guess in all the excitement I misheard what he was explaining to me and thought it was running at just under 240 with more to come.

Everything checks out, the only way to increase it would be to up the octane I was told, but I'm not going E85. BP98 can be expensive enough as is.

Maybe it's the addition of the oil cooler, maybe it's the oil catch can?

I also suspect their dyno isn't very forgiving. When my R36 had a stage 1 it read close to 20awkw less than some others were getting.

Beedub, how it drives is the most important thing - and unless you are going to be timing quarter miles or 0-100 shootouts, then figures are just figures. Lets face it, on your graph you are losing your license before you even reach 200kw.

I love the look of it with the Eibachs on, it looks just awesome now - glad I listened to you and ordered a set. However Tunershop are out of stock for 6 weeks, you must of got the last set - mongrel.

Thanks davman.

And sorry mate, but at least you got a good price.

You running IS38?

Might need to look at water/meth injection kit as next mod

Yeah, hybrid IS38. TTE475.

Beedub, your Wolfy looks awesome man - the more I look, the more I like the springs - it is perfect height now. I am hoping that it handles a whole lot better than stock - because stock handling is not the best for the beast you have now created. Handling is good though for the all rounder that it needs to be considering its target market, considering its a SUV, and considering its tow rating.

Unfortunately I ended up having to buy my springs from Eibach direct in Sydney - however they do a pretty good discount for VW Watercooled members, and considering I can claim the GST back, it wasnt a whole lot more than Tunershop in the end.

The KW you have will keep blowing your mind, you are not going to miss anything.

Might need to look at water / meth injection kit to get more out of the turbo

That's still a pretty decent increase - particularly given that the dyno looks like it reads pretty low. It's all relative I know when I ran mine on the dyno I was initially a little disappointed, however when I compared to all the other results that ran on the same dyno it was right up there.

I've run my car on a couple of dynos and there's been some quite inconsistent results in terms of how the dyno has been run and what gear the car was run in which makes a massive difference to the number on your dyno sheet. At the end of the day I was left scratching my head and pretty much gave up on getting a reasonable number that I could compare with

It looks like your dyno was run in 4th gear if you look at the speed/rpm which is similar to this run with mine. Max on this run was ~213kwaw which is pretty much in line with what your car is putting out (ignore the bit at the top end as it clearly upshifted).
