Valid, with the exception of Stg2 E30 tunes. Corn love juice makes a big difference on just a jb4, never mind Stg2+
Yup… it’s the only reason I went unitronic over APR For my Tiguan, I wanted to do the stage 1 e85 tune from them but when I travel with the tiggy I need to be able to run 91, and the idea of going to my dealer for that is silly. So my best option was to have less power with a 93,91,87 at home option from uni.
1st gen or 2nd gen Tiguan? If 2nd, can I PM you some questions?
There are plenty of oranges to apples comparisons to bring in and about with fuel types, fair comparison is fuel for fuel, plus the person asking is running a 93 eqt tune, so good chance he’s not running the eqt e30 tune is cause he don’t have access.
Just scan obd.
Yes mqb Tiguan, I don’t think anyone opening announces they have a modded CR-v / rave-4 style one
kidding.
I guess, although the fastest APR S1 on our quarter list ran E30, and the fastest S2 on the list ran E30. I guess there's still good benefit, even with just the ecu adapting to the better fuel, rather than being tuned for it specifically.
should be able to pass with a downpipe and tune as long as you have a proper spacer... so unless you're concerned about a downpipe for some other reason I would go stage 2 EQT. cheaper and probably faster
No it won’t be faster. The 1/4 times we have for reference of the DTR are related to condition or driver error, dyno wise - a Dtr pump for pump makes considerably more power than a is20 stage 2 for a longer amount of time, just isn’t the Lower rpm TQ power house a stage 2 is20 is. Also, it’s @Treadup sticks with his same FMIC brand, his DP is gonna cost more than a DTR without even buying the $175 tune for the, so he’s gonna pay more for 20-30more hp in the end.
I had a Camaro SS take off in front of me this morning and I followed, only pulling in 4th as 3rd will slip. I was surprised how well I kept up. 3rd gear would have been much close but I was def thinking about the DTR at that point.
From that post and my interpretation of your wants, expectations… DTR sounds perfect still, get the dtr for $1500, sell the AP and use some of the funds to offset the clutch.
Can we really trust dyno pics over recorded times though? Dyno graphs are easy to manipulate
The 1/4 runs posted showed true conditional/driver downfalls. You don’t even need to see dynos or 1/4s to see that this turbo on 26 psi tapering to 22 psi will make more power than a is20 that hits 27/28 psi for 200 to 300 rpms then quick tapers to 20psi before it loses all steam at 6k - based on hardware specs alone. Using super fast stage 2 unicorn cars 1/4 times or dragys still isn’t a fair comparison since we are still only using like 4-5 dtr cars as references.
I don't know enough about hardware specs to be able to see that but I don't doubt over 100mph it's faster than an is20. If it wasn't then there'd really be problems
