Who did you speak to?

He indicated it would have to come out - no two ways about it. They replace the bolts indicating that they break them to get it out.

Can't remember the gentleman's name but I was wanting to speak to James who was busy.

I assume by James you mean the guys at Harding Performance?
I have had no problems with them, in fact they did both the state 1 and stage 2 ecu update on my car and the engine mount.

If you are looking for alternatives i believe there is a guy down at cleveland that build's custom tunes (bayside performance services i believe it is) but it would take about 4 hours from what i have heard.
The Tiguan is not on their list of cars at the moment but it runs the same engine and turbo as the Mk6 GTI so it shouold be the same.

Correct

They have to take the ECU out once for the trial and again for the real deal should I go ahead. I'll make do with the original spec and save myself $1695 in the process...

If you want more power and torque, $1600 gives you a massive increase which changes the car completely.

I would have a chat to the guys at Bayside Performance and see if they can do the Tig for you, I believe they are priced around $1000 for the Mk6 GTI (same engine, make sure you let them know that)

I also believe DNA Tuning are able to do the Mk6 GTI (and thus the Tig) for around $1000 but their process is a bit more hands on.

Are you coming to the Tig cruise on saturday Bakeryhill?
