    Yes it’s effectively a stage 1 Mk7 Golf R.

    You should push 200-210kwaw with this setup.

    I might go down this route if i can get 200kw atw with just a turbo swap and remap i would be very happy and shouldnt cost much more than 3k, would the tune simply be a golf r stage 1 tune or would it be specifically for a tiguan with is38 and stock exhaust/DP

    Talk to your tuner but most tuners will have a file for it. It’s effectively a GTI with IS38 swap which is quite a common setup.

    Yeah not surprised that the custom tuners would do it as it’s a pretty common upgrade for a GTI. I think you’ll find even a number of the off the shelf tuners like APR and Revo may even support it.
