Hiya. Intro time..

Picked up a low 27000km MY15 Tiguan 132tsi today, 1 owner, service history etc. Very clean car, drives beautifully. Grey, stock.

Had an R32 RB26dett & highly modified Stagea in the past, and reckon this Tig will do me well. Wanted a turbo SUV that I fit into (6ft8") and slowly do some minimal mods over the coming years.

Will research into adding an hardpipe intake system into stock airbox with K&N panel (removed snow guard), turbo inlet pipe, exhaust downpipe to stock cat-back, and maybe IE Integrated Engineering ecu tune system with a DSG tune to suit at some stage way down the track. Also definitely after a tow bar and R-Line steering wheel with paddle shift, and awaiting hex-can dongle to read error codes.

All in good time, hopefully it'll be a pleasant ownership experience. Anyway, hoo'roo, off for a Hills drive tonight!

Congratulations and welcome. There’s a fair bit you can do to these cars to increase performance. Many Mk6 Golf parts are interchangeable which increases your options.

Biggest bang for buck is a stage 1 tune. Air intake is really just for whooshy noises.

Cheers. Will look into underbonnet temps a bit as the plastic air intake gets bloody hot towards the turbo...
1st mod will be brake Speedbleeders tho
