Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

That is the cat-back version right?

Yes cat-back version. Will replace the stock exhaust. I already have a 3" DP fitted which drops down t 2.5" at the back if I remember right.

Can you please get some stock cat-back and var cat back videos for comparison?

Yes I'll look to get some before/after for comparison. There will be very little performance change - purely aural

Shame about the hub rings.
I made sure when i got my enkeis that the guy packed hub rings suitable, otherwise i would have waited an age to get them fitted.

The main hold-up is that the wheel workshop's usual machinist is on holidays and they only have a guy that comes in occasionally to help out - though I use this term loosely as it's been more than a week now...

Problem is they aren't standard hub rings either as there is a groove in the rim for them to locate. Otherwise I could have got some off the shelf. I spoke to the Oz Racing importer and he said he could get some in however they would only be with his next shipment which could be a couple of months so getting them machined locally is still going to be quicker.

Yes so moral of the story is to make sure you get the hub rings and stud bolts with the wheels.

Well turns out the second wheel place can't do the hub rings either

Now having to source bolts and hub rings from oversea.

You can purchase suitable hub rings and bolts from here if you are having issues finding a source: Performance Alloys.com® - Alloy Wheels - The Alloy Wheel Experts™

This is where i ordered my Ultralegerras from and they supplied everything. I contacted them earlier in the year as i was going to put the rims on a Merc A250 and they could supply OZ hub rings to suit, they aren't cheap though.

Yes priced them from here and they're GBP150 shipped.

Well after chasing around all week trying to source a mounting kit for the OZ Racing wheels it turns out the guys from AMG Australia (distributors for OZ Racing) are placing an order for some other gear and I can get a set through them shipped to the door for $80. Everywhere else I was looking at $150+.

Yes exactly!

About 2 weeks... fingers crossed.

Tig's getting a brake upgrade today - purely cosmetic but wanted to get the calipers painted before the new wheels go on.

[Ramee]

Hi tigger, Very nice build thread. You just made me want to paint my break callipers too

I think you are running Vezu stage 2 tune is it ? love to see your 0 - 100 timing with stage 2 performance..

Good work on the brakes, i have considered doing mine blue to match the "R" style and the body colour
