Tigger73's 155TSI

[ian]

I saw these on Ebay there for an Audi but look like they could fit the Tiguan just ask them the size and compare them against your surrounds .

I'm actually looking at these ones: VW Tiguan 5N 2011 2015 3M Chrome Trim Edging FOR FOG Light | eBay

I know the OEM chrome trims won't fit but the ones above are just stick on. Might just give these a go...

Hi Tigger73, do you recall what peak torque figure was ?

[tigger73]

There's measured torque (as in direct measurement from the dyno) and then derived torque (which is a calculated value based on estimated engine rpm).

Here's the dyno chart:



Max for derived torque (to compare to your brochure figure) is ~253Nm @ 2,300 RPM. Though if you look at your brochure figure it states peak torque as 280Nm @ 1,700 RPM which clearly it wasn't making. Reason for this is probably due to torque limiters in the transmission not transferring full torque until higher up in the rev range. So torque is good but really hard to compare anything back to manufacturer specs which are flywheel figures without any transmission or driveline losses. Dyno figures are measured at the wheels so it makes it hard to make any direct comparison.

Unfortunately I didn't ever have a stock dyno chart for my old 125TSI for comparison.

Should we expect a 'before' & 'after' comparison any time soon?

[tigger73]

There's a strong possibility that there will be an "after" dyno result in the not too distant future

Some software goodness is in order...Peak torque for APR stage 1 v2.1 is quoted around 440nm and stage 2 v2.1 is quoted around 462nm....lets light up those tyres.....

I'm not going to mention brands at this stage as it's still a little hush hush. Should be as good as or better than APR though
