Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

150 is correct! I know the owner, normal price would be 250. Goodyear auto care quoted me 280.

Wow that is cheap. I was quoted $400 by Pedders.

I got quoted 380 from pedders. I guess it depends on which state.

Ahh, a case of 'not what you know, but who you know'!

Pedders did mine, they must have got the alignment right as I have noticed no unusual tyre wear from the changed camber settings.

Does the camber change just with the replacement of the springs alone??

Yes anytime you mess with the suspension it's recommended to do an alignment otherwise you risk scrubbing out tyres.

Car is booked in for 2 weeks time to get cat-back exhaust and new front mount intercooler fitted.... plus an updated tune file.
All ready for the Adelaide dyno day on the 21st Sept

Please get some before and after soundbites for us!

I'll look to get some "before" and "after" clips, however I'll probably have to borrow someone elses unmodified Tig for a true "before" as mine already has a 3" DP fitted.

The new exhaust is not really a performance upgrade - mainly for making the right noise out the back. Keen to see if I can get some DSG farts happening on gear changes.

Also the FMIC won't give any real world performance for me either as I don't drive that hard (car doesn't go on the track). All I'm hoping is to keep the temps down when driving up hills particulalry on hot days so it's a bit nicer on the engine.

Great.. I am really interested about cat back exhaust.. Are these still in beta stage or can I get one. Also are these quad exhaust type?

Love to hear the sound it will make... I just want to hear sound after instal , already know how bad it in stock
