    I purchased a Skoda Octavia with the 147 TSI engine
    I was not overly impressed with the performance so I had it flashed with stage 1
    When I picked it up I certainly noticed that it had more pep but it was nothing to write home about
    I drove it home and parked it without much fuss
    Over the following weeks I realized the top end (over 6k) pulling power was actually a little down on the stock tune

    A month later I took it back for the stage 2 program and dump pipe
    I picked the car up and was totally blown away by how hard it pulled - I went for a 3 hour drive - wife phoning to complain "where are you"
    The low end torque, the strong pulling power from mid range to red line and the wide power band all blew me away
    The stage 2 tune is a huge step forward and far more rewarding than stage 1

    Maybe its different on the tiggy with the 132 TSI

    The base model tiguan stage 1 upgrade is massive because you start from 125/132 so you get a 22kw boost over the GTI/vRS due to the tiguan being detuned from the factory.

    The tiguan is also heavier and has the AWD system which means you end up with less of a boost with the Stage 2 upgrade compared to the GTI/vRS.
