Nice tig you've got there team_v.
Out of interest, how many kms did you have on it when you did the APR tune? I'm looking at doing mine but so far have only 550 kms on my GTI and not sure how soon is too soon...

I had 500km on it when it was remapped.Originally Posted by iBoost
There has been quite a few Tig's remapped after their 1000-3000km run in period with no difficulties so i figured i would get it done early.
The difference is astounding, it's a completely different car now.
First gear is almost useless as the needles max out in no time.
Hopefully i will hear about the wheels tonight.
Might see what else i can tinker with on the car.

Sounds good mate, thanks for the info.
I think they have a sale on at the moment don't they? Did you go for the full ECU with all options? The main thing I want is the security lock out so it's hopefully hidden as much as possible.

They do have a sale on at the moment.
I got the full package for the same price as the standard ecu remap.
Alternatively you can just get the stock and 98ron map for 10% off i believe.
I don't really know if i will ever use the other options but i figured why not get it all.
Security lockout shouldn't be an option for me as i will be going to independant service providers.

You've got to use the Valet mode team v - it's a riot - great for controlling your lead footed sister/brother/father!

Yep, that's great with me - promise this time!

Yes, but I find it's the R32 owners that get somewhat devistated by the Tig's ability considering the price they paid for their R32. To have an SUV with $400 worth of suspension and a quick remap out do them in everything other than braking, well it does (and rightly so) tend to upset the relationship somewhat!

I am good to go for the 4 July Tiguan Cruise to Maleny if it's going ahead.
Went for another drive last night, filled up with BP Ultimate and the grumbling and roughness of the engine seemed to lessen so i believe it had 95 from the dealership.
Set me back $84 and the distance to empty was back to 550km when i drove off.
Loving the linear power delivery, managed to get it really moving when i went for a drive after refuelling.
I also like the real time fuel economy display, managed to get it up to 60l/100km lol.
The funny part is when the idiots in their commondore v6's and ricelines that think you are just another SUV soccer mum and can take you at the lights when their lane is due to run out.
That is where the APR remap really shines through.
Going home early today so i will see what else i can do aesthetically on the car.
Should be due for a wash next week and an application of nanolex paint sealant.

I like when TDi Tigs try and have a crack (mind you, I generally let them go just out of respect, unless there's a hill involved).

Wow, that would be interesting.
I haven't been next to another Tig at the lights yet, only commondores and daily's.
Apparently we aren't allowed to poke fun at the Mk6 forum anymore, i made one comment and was asked to remove it otherwise i would get an infraction.
Had a crack at another aesthetic mod, it's all in pieces at the moment, in hindsight, i probably wouldn't do this one again or if i did, i wouldn't take it apart.
Hoping to get pic's for you guys soon.
