Just had a look at the US APR site.
The stage 3 kit looks very impressive.
370hp (276kw) is very tempting but I think it will suit the more sporty cars rather than a softroader.

I am not sure i would go that path since i don't want to be throwing at least 6k at the car plus the costs for the apr reccomended intake, midpipe, intercooler, transmission, internals, suspension and brakes.
The 187kw reflash should be more than enough for me

It is good to see so much potential can be had from the base 2.0 TSI
With the stage 3 kit, it's power levels out-perform the LS2 5.7L V8.

Yes and you can actually put the power down to the road with the AWD system

and of course if you have 4wd drifts so be it, I wouldn't complain

I just found out at the bottom of the page it states for FWD cars only.

That limits the Tig owners on this one.

I assume the Tig is only available in 4motion in Ausi, same as NZ ? Personally I don't see the point of a FWD Tiguan but they seem to sell a few in NA and Europe. Guess it's a way of making the product lower priced to compete.
