Looking to buy a Tiguan !!

Stage 1 is more than enough for a Tig; Stage 2 does not stack up in a cost-benefit analysis.
Consider the DSG software upgrade as an alternative to Stage 2.

I had never driven a stage 1 but I assume it's similar. If you want to go bigger than k03 stage 2 is required.

It's always the law of diminishing returns. Stage 1 gives most gains. Stage 2 is quite a few more $ but not as big a bang for buck.

Stage 3 is where it's at but then you're looking at spending as much on the mods as you are on the car - if you do it like Guy H / APR. When they put a Tiguan in hot tuner a couple of years ago they beat the pants off a lot of performance cars and put down a mighty impressive time around the track.

Thanks guys , I like that there are some modified examples out there, I think this car Is a great mix of family car, and performance car

i love how that Harding performance one embarrassed a lot of "sports" cars!! GO TIGUAN!!!!

I put a deposit on a white 2011 155tsi over the weekend, cannot wait to take delivery.

Nice work. Now just to save up for the stage 3 kit

Reality the base 155TSI is quite capable but stage 1 is icing on the cake.
