Should we develop a K04 kit for the Tiguan TSI engine?

Vishtek,

No personal experience with the Auto, but certainly get the car into 98 ron fuel ASAP.

See if you can run some 0-100 times, that's normally the big thing to see. Most people report at least a second quicker from stock to stage 1.

Guy,

From the local APR website, I read the following:

"This allows for completely new and independent calibrations for each program selected giving you the best, most powerful and complete Stock Modes, 95, 98 and 104 (RON) octane Performance Modes and Valet Modes."

Since there is a performance mode for RON 95 fuel, is it necessary to run on RON 98?

if you select mode 1 that will be equivalent power output to the standard (stock) mapping (run 95 as min) - 125kw for 125, 147Kw for 147 (whether it maps slightly differently, I don't know, it feels the same as stock in the 125 anyway)
select mode 2 will be performance mapping that requires min of 98 (189kW)
Select mode 3 - valet map (restricts revs)
select mode 4 - racing map (I doubt you'd have that unless you specifically asked for it) requires 104 racing fuel (crazy cost and other issues with contamination with standard fuels).

At least that is my understanding.

You can use 95 ron & the 95 ron program, but you will be well short on power compared to the 98 fuel & 98 map. Don't forget, you will go further per tank on 98 as well.

The only reason the 95 ron program exists is some countries, that's the best you can get.

I don't think there is anywhere in Australia now that you can't get 98ron, even the cars we do in Darwin all request the 98 ron file. Tasmania did not have it for a long time, but even there it's readily available.
