AWE Turbo outlet pipe.

Not sure if it will work on our Aus delivered 4Motion tiguan's though.
Is this the same as a downpipe?

There could be some benefit in these .... they are replacing the std pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. On the Neuspeed site, referenced by Pullstarter, look at the increase in diameter and smoothness.

And here is the AWE tuning site .... http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shar...ain&IL=tsi_top

Nothing to do with the downpipe.

Group buy anyone ? I want 1 ASAP .....

Ahh, i didn't realise it was Turbo -> Intercooler.
So this should then allow better air flow to the intercooler, reducing temperature and keeping power levels stable rather than giving an increase like the downpipe does?

It will result in better flow of pressured air to the intercooler. Small increase in power ~1kw I'd guess ....

Be even better if you upgraded the intercooler as well ....

It all adds up I'm afraid .... whilst you make small gains with each bit, the $$$ spent keeps on accumulating as well ...

I'd get the AWE tuning 1 in aluminium for USD170 and then ceramic coat (instead of powdercoat) it. End up costing you around $400 I'd guess for a whole 1 kw atw .... .... value for money .... I don't think so .... but still 1kw is 1 kw and every 1 counts ....

Hahahaha It's soooo cool to see that I'm no the only sick one here, I got the AWE e-mail and I had to write them to get it

I've searched the forums - does anyone know FOR SURE what boost pressure the Tig runs standard, and with the APR Stage 1 tune? just curious..

I've heard guesses, but nothing to back it up!
