My Tiguan APR tuned Stage 1

[Nindey]

Hi All,

Anyone else here have a normal 6 speed non DSG 125kw Tig that has been tuned by APR? I have to say it only feels slightly more powerful, not worth $1495!! Pretty disapointing really,, doesnt feel more then over 100nm gained and Power increase of 64kw... I am wondering if a free flowing exhaust would make a difference?

Cheers

Mike

You should your car back, when I had my tune done by revo I was disappointed of the gains when I went for service they told me n75 valve was broken and when I got my car back it flew compared to stock

I have APR on my 6 speed manual (used to be 125TSI)

Something must be wrong with your car or the ecu remap if you cannot notice the huge difference between stock and stage 1.
It litterally feels like a whole new car from 125 to 189.

What njay said.

Take it back & get it checked.

Okay will do, there is definatly a noticable difference but not huge difference... one thing also, when the car was stock I remember going on a gravel road once and something underneath made an aweful sound when I turned a corner hard, then from then on everytime I floored it, the car would chirp the front wheels, it was like it disengaged the AWD. I had it serviced and then it didnt happen from then on...

Might pay to also check that the map has been engaged as they may have loaded it on but have selected the stock setting.
Also, it helps to have 98RON fuel as mine performs much better on that.

Thanks mate, will do.. I have to say was expecting more torque... If my wife saids she really cant tell any significant difference then there is something wrong !!!

You should be able to feel it push you back into the seat when you floor it.

I did a stopwatch test to 100km/hr, I got about 7.6 secs, maybe that is normal then, I might be to demanding.... I know the exhaust is pretty restrictive though, I have taken the resonator out but that back exhaust is pretty restrictive.

Can you please get a video of the exhaust note with no resonator for me?
I would like to compare it to my muffler delete.


A stock 125TSI should do the 0-100 in around 8.5 seconds i believe.
