Tiguan Tuning Starts !

For anyone thinking about an intake have a look at the thread I started over at the Tex. Pics of Neuspeed and BSH intakes;

wow, that's a big call from the BSH guys:

"Dyno Gains:
Gains are made and felt throughout the entire rpm band. The full BSH intake makes a peak gain of 17whp and maintains 10-15 through the majority of the high end! View the graph in this products image gallery. "

I couldn't find the Products Image Gallery to check their dyno graphs.

If you click on the "click for more images" under the pic it will give you a dyno graph John;

That is intake and Stage 2 package though whatever that means, not much in the product description that differs from just the intake as far I can see.

Edit; Includes the intake pipe too I think.

Had a look at the dyno charts and TBH it does not make a big difference. Very slight difference from about 5000rmin onwards .....

Is it worth USD350 ? Not sure ......

Plus its not legal in Oz to have the filter open like that (only if you really care about that though )

I'm still debating if any of them are worth the $$$

Mine would be less than half that if I did it myself. Yes, not as pretty, but surely just as effective ......

EDIT ... a ModShack intake may be the way to go for far less $$$ as well.

How much are the modshack intakes Johan? I WAS looking at the Carbonio but I don't think I can justify the price tbh, don't get me wrong it's a sweet looking thing but just to expensive for my wallett

full exhaust would be first on my list, then intake. But intake on it's own?, probably not. Then again, I could be completely wrong with that approach - be happy to hear others opinions on this.

I'm not after big performance gains with the intake John, just extra noise

Chill out Polo boy i'm getting there

Intake on its own (on a stock car) will likely have very little benefit, except some extra noise .....

On a chipped car benefit likely to be a bit more, I expect about 4-5kw extra.

On a car with a chip & exhaust I expect the benefit to be around 10-11kw as it all needs to work in harmony to fully contribute.

Which to do 1st? .... I don't think it really matters .....

ModShack details http://www.modshack.info/VTDA.htm in particular go through the images and find the Mk5 Golf TDI pics as it resembles what the Tig's intake would look like ....

I may be able to post pics of 1 on a Tig up soon ....

Pricing to be less than USD300 shipped. So about $350 AUD.....
