Tuning / performance update

[08elf]

Oh yes and forgot to mention i've had the APR stage I software put on my 125TSI Tiguan and the performance is outstanding.

Currently 190kw and wanting more.......

Good to see 2 more 190TSI Tiguans joining the fold ..... ENJOY!!!

.... Currently 190kw and wanting more.......

Thats seems to be a common problem these days .... don't worry I'm on the job to research additional power options ....

Been looking into further development on exhaust & turbo upgrades.

No use using a K04 turbo on this motor - it requires a lot of modification to fit, and the APR stage 3 kit is Superior in every way, including spool up & torque across the range.

No plans from the US on a downpipe / exhaust, the clearance issue of the AWD drive train means a divorced wastegate downpipe is required to give the flow and volume (and body / tailshaft clearance) - so this means a setup similar to our Audi S3 / TTS / R20 GTI setup.

Any feedback on is it worth taking on the project for the Tiguan? Pricing will be similar to the S3 systems price (and we can build the cat-back system as well) ?

I've been speaking to Guy about this yesterday and the S3 downpipe looks awesome and will deal with the clearance issues once adapted/copied with modifications. APR would need a few comitted buyers to be able to proceed (aprox 8-10 to recover the development costs).

So if you want (need) 1 might be a good idea to indicate your interest.

It will be fairly pricey (about $2500; hopefully less) but will provide an extra 10-12kw atw (15-20 on the engine). So 220kw Tiguan is a possibility ....

Guy
any feedback on the Haldex unit, have you installed a few and how are the reports?

Also, any news on your fishing trip up north...;-]

kind regards

So........

Stage 1 is the ECU upgrade
Stage 2 would be the Carbon Intake, Intercooler
Stage 3 is the APR stage 3 kit with an upgraded turbo rated at 370hp (275kw)?

Do you need the exhaust for the stage 3 kit? or is the OEM one going to do the job?
Wouldn't the stage 3 kit get 220kw for the Tiguan easily?

[Pullstarter]

Stage 1 with fuel pump upgrade and intake (which I think is pretty much stage 2?) should be enough for 220kw @ the crank.

Pretty sure stage 3 comes with the exhaust and should be good for close to 300kw I imagine.

Stg1 = ECU = 190kw
Stg1.5 = Stg1 + either Intake or Downpipe/exhaust = 200kw
Stg2 = Stg1 + Intake + Downpipe/exhaust = 210kw
Stg2.5 = Stg2 + Intercooler upgrade = still 210kw but stays there in hot wheather.
Stg 3= Stg2.5 + Turbo upgrade = 250kw+

You will need to do an exhaust for Stg3 OEM, will not do. Exhaust not included with Stg 3 unfortunately. Its a seperate item.....

The TSI engines (MK6 GTI and Tiguans) have the upgraded fuelpump already so no need for that.

Hmm, someone should probably tell my APR dealer this then as he's under the impression the APR modded pump will get me an extra 20kw.

Trying to sell you something you don't need? ... or genuinely don't know? On the old GTI (Mk5) engine yes, but not the new TSIs I'm afraid.

Give Guy a call direct and have a chat to him about it.

PS ... tell him you want a downpipe as well while you're at it ...
