$1,195 as per Harding Performance website.

Speak to your local APR dealer and they may be able to do a deal. Requires special tools to do the DSG tune and not every (many) dealers have these tools. So if they are getting the tools in to do other tunes you may be able to piggy-back off this.

Unlike the ECU tunes, the DSG tunes rarely (if ever) go on sale.

yep, unfortunately the DSG tunes have not been on sale - we always discount them to existing APR / Oettinger customers though.

Interested to see how the Tiguan R turns out

132TSI w/ leather+xenons, plus $15k of mods = good value 200kW+ little SUV

APR ECU tune, DSG tune, TBE, intake, intercooler, springs/shocks/swaybars, 18's w/ tyres

If you can find that for $3k, ill take 10

No need, Downpipe and ECU tune for Stage 2 and it will crack 200kw.
I should know since i have done it.

The other mods will surely be helpful but the big restriction is the factory ecu settings and the downpipe.

+1 Your mod list may be $10k+ but as team_v said a DP plus tune will get you to 200kW for well under $3k.

The point wouldn't be getting to 200kW - it'd be to make your own SQ3 using a Tig - so handling and whatever power you get from intake/intercooler/TBE/ECU - maybe 220kW+ is a better target - need a BBK then I guess

**tigger73** · 07-06-2013, 07:16 PM

Maybe just paint your brake calipers instead. Save $3k...

Guy will obviously take their Tig to a whole new level but the point is you can get these things to a decent level of power realtively cheaply.
