This predicament just illustrates there is nothing else comparable to a modified Tiguan!

+1 Exactly. Without spending 2x as much it's hard to go past a modded Tig in terms of bang for buck. This is my dilemma and not one that is going to be easily/cheaply solved I fear.Originally Posted by MGV

We may become a 2 x Tig family yet

Tell her it's an "estate" - sounds swankier :pAlltrack is off the list. Unfortunately it's classified as a wagon (according to my wife). And any wagon is not allowed in our driveway

Got any contacts in Asia? Could bring in grey import LWB Tig (they get more fruit too I think). Although work/leasing company may not be impressed

Hmmm. I think an import has too many issues to be a realistic consideration. I could imagine insuring it would be problematic and warranty non-existent... Coming from someone that is looking to modify their car too!Got any contacts in Asia? Could bring in grey import LWB Tig (they get more fruit too I think).

My new suggestion is wait for the late 2015/early 2016 release of the Mk3 Tiguan and get the base model 2.0T petrol.
Seeing the results for the 3rd Gen EA888 engine it is crazy.
The GTI 7 is pulling 235kw at the engine (216kw at the wheels) with just a stage 1 ecu remap.

Yes I've seen the results from the new gen 3 EA888 engines and they are a significant increase.
The only problem is I can't find any information about the MQB platform Tiguan anywhere. It still seems to be more than 12 months away... And probably closer to 18 months to 2 years by the time we see it here.
I'm still having a hard time finding anything to replace it with.

Going off previous release schedules, i would say motorshow release early 2015, Aus release September 2015 for the initial batch (usually fully loaded) and then February 2016 for the first lot of customer ordered factory builds.
It is a long time to hold out for it in the hope we get the EA888 3rd gen engine.
