Sooooo tempting ..... or maybe just a KO4 turbo upgrade AND match the chipped Rs .....

AWE Tuning - Products

With the Aussie $ being so strong right now, this is a real option ...... I suspect less than $5K fitted for 250kw ........ BARGAIN !!!!

And look here .... http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/acce..._st2_accel.jpg chipped only Tig quicker than K04 GTI DSG ....

I was considering stage 3 but i think i will just stick with stage 2, it is quick enough to blitz the traffic light grand prix and still useful enough for soft-roading if i need it.

I believe Guy said the K04 wasn't a worthy upgrade in a previous thread.
I think he said the GT28s is the one you should look at for a turbo upgrade.

Bang for your buck performance is where it's at.
With the 20k difference over the R you could build a fun track car or go on some awesome holidays.

I believe this is a question of perspective ..... APR would like you to upgrade to Stg 3 at a cost exceeding $15K with labour and extra bits required .... K04 will come in at around $5K including labour..... Stg3 will deliver about 275kw and K04 about 250kw, which is better bang for your buck .... value for money ? .... its got to be the K04 kit .....

If you are going to upgrade, then the K04 is better value for money for sure.
Also the GT28 would be a bit more laggy i presume since it is a bigger setup.

250+kw ..... 250+kw ..... 250+kw ..... just imagine what that would feel like, John .....

All we need is APR to do a Tiguan K04 kit at half the price of the Stg 3 kit (.... which is possible I suppose ....) and all would be good ....

hmm, maybe they could do a package deal that included clutch upgrade?

the reason the k04 gti doesnt gain much in acceleration is wheel spin, the overall power and feel of the car will be completely different.
K04s are the perfect for these motors on the street.

Ahhh, perfect for us then! $5k for another 50kw is good value in my books. Would still bring my Tig in at under $50k all up. Sharkie, any idea on clutch upgrades/pricing yet?

This thread blows my mind.

Tiguan, shopping trolley and schoolbus - beats evo, sti and R to 100km/h.

If we have discovered this in oz, surely there are some mad youtube video's of european tiguans blowing away all manner of 'not competition'.
