I think if you're spending that kind of cash the 2871r (I think the APR Stage 3 kit uses?) would be a great turbo to go along side a AWD Tiguan

I had the 'disc potato' turbo on my old SR20 and it was very fun to drive around

I have to admit, I drove alongside a Tig today and thought of you madmen, and I thought to myself I *almost* like it

99.9% of them are stock black 103TDI diesel's with 16" wheels and no performance.
Every now and then i see a 147 petrol but its almost always a woman driver.

Amazing sleeper car

Especially with a K04, bang for buck it would decimate the compact AWD market.

I can start a separate thread if required!

Hey Guy
just wondering what options are available to us, backward, auto guys....(-

cheers

I'd be interested Guy, dependant on price of course. I reckon a clutch upgrade would be a must though.

I would personally like to see 1/4 mile trap speeds from the stage 2 Tig because i don't have any idea how well that level of modified car really performs. Krracing's results were promising so i expect better from a stage 2.

Guy, does the stage 3 tsi kit listed on the APR website simply bolt straight up to our 2009 Tig's? Do you know if anyone in the world has done this yet and taken it down the 1/4 mile?

On a side note, if you get the APR software loaded, do you get an APR badge for free in that price? A silly question i know but this was the most important topic for me whilst trapped in traffic this morning lol.

I have to agree with all that Sharkie. I know it sounds a bit wankerish, but I've yet to be embarrassed, but have seriously upset many others, especailly Subaru drivers (although I suspect the word is getting out to them about the Tigs as I've had two recently that seemed to have been very "interested" in trying it on with me).

By the way (an excuse my ignorance on Holdens), but what's a "317" badged C'dore?

Only stage 3 on Tiguan's that I know of are on theose quirky front wheel drive ones.

The stage 3 requires a specific downpipe, which does not exist to date (for the AWD), but we know exactly how to make one. It will not be too difficult for us to get a Tiguan Stage 3 into production, but we don't seem to have enough market for the kit (hence exploring the K04 option which, installed can work out at around half the price!)

Thanks for clarifying Guy.
