Tiguan Tuning Starts !

no problem:

haha, just what I was thinking Guy - but will my clutch last?

very funny....errr......how much!

by the way I've always wondered - can anyone tell me exactly what nitrous does, its already oxidized isn't it (nitrous oxide), so does it help create a denser air/fuel mixture?

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 300 degrees C, it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel therefore produces more power. Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

Probably one of the best explanations:

Nitrous oxide engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote: For example, in New South Wales, Australia, the Roads and Traffic Authority Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Modifications (in use since 1994) states in clause 3.1.5.7.3 that The use or fitment of nitrous oxide injection systems is not permitted

Damn!! That means I'm out... unless of course Guy you can fit these in 'Stealth Mode'

So i did some research on wikipedia and it turns out they only specify the EA113 engine for the tiguan, not the EA888.
Do we know for sure what one runs in the Tig TSI?

888 - I have a couple dismantled in my workshop if you want to swing by & see what a complex little bugger it is

Thanks for the update Guy.
I have no doubt they are complex, that is why they use engine covers
They are also heavy buggers.
