BSR Tiguan TDI tune

I sometimes feel like I'm the only Manual Diesel Tig in AUS with a BSR tune :). I'm European and allergic to automatics so I had to look far and wide for a manual. I got the BSR tune about 6 months ago (for some $1000 deal, down from $1300) and I never looked back. My partner said she felt no difference but after I secretly flashed back to stock after a few months she said we should get it to the shop cause it's broken and it runs really slow :)). I grew up learning to feel the engine through a manual and the BSR tune to 190HP plus a VAG racing air filter really make a big difference especially after the turbo kicks in. IT also sounds like petrol at high revs now and I constantly kept a eye on fuel and reliability. No issues so far, 163.000km last 30.000 on BSR.

I'd been wondering about manuals, as all of the tune discussions I have seen is on cars with DSG fitted (such a sad state of affairs in my opinion). Thanks for sharing as it gives me some food for thought.

In a Manual I've got sport, comfort and whatever there might be with a DSG all the time. Makes it easier to feel changes. That being said DSG's are awesome compared to automatics and I'll definitely have one soon and set it to manual :). It's very hard to find a manual Tig now in Aus.

Following this thread with interest as I too am seriously considering going the way of the BSR tune on my 2009 tig. The old girl has only 71000km on it so hopefully would be able to handle it no worries at all. Mine too is a manual

Honestly, I't makes a massive difference, I don't know if it's 50hp improvement but its more than the other tuners who stop at 170hp. I've been pushing it to the limit the last 30.000km with absolutely no issues. Clean exhaust, clean burning, better mileage. I've even kickstarted in 2nd to get to 100 in about 7secs :), the beauty of manual.

Hi all, just ordered a BSR stage 1 tune today. I have a 2010 mk6 golf 2l tdi 6sp manual (103kw). Hopefully i will get it in the next couple of days. The web site says +47hp and +100nm, hope this claim stands up.
