Tiguan Tuning Starts !

[Yep 147]

Why?
My farther has one (e55) and I had one (e39 M5 sold) and both are/were great. No problems. (BTW I am not associated with them at all)
Pretty high tec cars.

My Tiguan is now APR chipped & has an APR gbox mount ...

Awesome work Sharkie.

Now it just needs to be dropped and roll on those RS4's and you can't get much better.

about bloody time is all I can say!

What do you think sharkie? Worth the $$$$? More / less better / worse than you thought?

Do you know what the time from 0-100 is now?

Having a turbo car chipped is always worth the $$$$ The Tig is now driving the way I believe it should come from the factory considering its pedigree ..... (2.0T AWD)

Pretty much exactly what I expected

Do you know what the time from 0-100 is now?

No idea yet, however, consider this, the Tiguan weighs only about 100kgs more than an Audi S3. The S3 makes 188kw/350NM and does 0-100km/h in 5.7s. The Tiguan (manual) makes 190kw/400NM so should be pretty close to that 5.7s ..........

EDIT: S3 3dr = 1500kg, s3 5dr = 1530kg .... only 80kgs in there compared to the 5dr ........

To look at it from another perspective ..... any Golf GTI & R32 .... chipped or stock ...... would be left behind in a straight line ..... ..... closest competitors would be a R36 or a chipped Pirelli Golf .... but the chipped Pirelli would have problems putting all that power to the ground so I suspect the Tig would still have it .... .... something to be said for AWD ....

Nice work Johan, did you notice much difference with the g'box mount?

Guess I should stop being lazy and take some pics of my intake hehe

The thing slowing down the Tig from 0-100 is that bloody short first gear. You have about 1.2 seconds in first gear before having to get it into 2nd. Once in 2nd though, you're accelerating at a deceiving quick pace (that huge torque doing it's job) - and much to the rice racer's and BMW X brigade's consternation.

Pulling away from the traffic lights and stuff I prefer starting in D and then once off switching to S to aavoid using 1st gear altogether. U may get a quicker 0-100 doing that?
