Tiguan Tuning Starts !

[Sharkie]

Apparently the APR fuel pump adds about 20kw also so I'm told?

Not on the Tiguan I'm afraid ...... good news though ... Tiggys come with an uprated fuel pump & injectors from the factory and is good up to Stage 3 ....

Stage 3 kit substantially cheaper on the Tiguan than on the GTI because of that .... ....

maybe I need to speak to Guy. I'm working off $$$ estimates from US site. I'd only go with Stage 3, but would need full install costs including clutch, flywheel intercooler upgrades etc added to final price.

Personally I'd never go past the S3 kit (Not stage 3) on the Tiguan. K04 Turbo with exhaust, FMIC and intake will see you at about 250kw/450NM which will do me just fine.

I would probably actually stop performance upgrades at the intake and ECU stage though. I have ordered a Carbonio intake in ....

Doing cosmetics now only. Radio, sunglass holder, suspension, wheels, crossdrilled brake discs etc coming up shortly ....

EDIT: and a downpipe & cat if it ever becomes available

Wheels, intake, full turboback and stage 2 ECU are where I'm pretty sure I will stop. This will likely take me at least a full year or more to acquire, assuming the turboback even becomes available. Should have the intake as a christmas present.

S3 kit is the Stage 2+ from my list above. Its the K04 turbo upgrade kit with bits as found on the Audi S3. Good for 240-250kw.

For the use I have for the Tig this is the most I'd need. I'm reserving big upgrades for the Golf R coming.

Mmmmm, .... just had a thought, the R will have all the S3 bits I need for the Tig on it (if it will fit) and then I only need to buy 1 x Stage 3 kit for the R .....

Don't know how you found the links to that page, but I can't find it on the VW section of APR's site!

just found it!

Good grief- who's responsible for this deeply hidden link:

APR Turbo Upgrade Packages
APR Stage III/III+ Kits - 1.8T Transverse
Golf/ Polo GTI / Beetle / Passat 1.8T K04 Turbo Upgrade
VW GTI/Jetta/Eos 2.0TFSI S3 K04 Turbo Upgrade
VWGTI/Jetta/Eos 2.0TFSI Stage III Upgrade

They obviously don't want to sell any to Tig/Mk6 Golf owners because the first thing you read as you scan thru the headings is Stage III/III+ Kits - 1.8 Transverse!

Where did you find out about the uprated fuel pump on the Tig? That sure saves money.
