Yeah, we will see what happens, hope she will not gun it too hard.

[Machete Priest]

Awesome! Make sure you tell us all about it!

[easy cheese]

Nice... take a vid the 1st time she drives it if she still dont know about the ko4 it should be really funny to see what she dose.

[TIGSEL]

She'll never forgive you

hi,
congrats on the K04, I am planning for my car , i have a 7 speed dsg ( 2011 model) does anybody know the torque limit of these gear box?? may be guys from APR can comment

[DT EXP]

Yeah, we will see what happens, hope she will not gun it too hard.

I lost mine in about 3 weeks, and I wasn't gunning it.. just normal fun driving style.

But the clutch for you now will be easy.. Look at my build to see what all you need to get and who to call.

Did APR ( or APR dealer) scan your ECU to make sure they have the flash file before you did/do the install?

The dealer did not so I have to wait another day for it to be completed, but its ok, I have patience...

Great idea!

I apologize for the programming not being available the same day as the install was scheduled. I was told Tiguan programming was available when I ordered the kit. The files for that software coding are now available to all.

Enjoy and feel free to tell her it was all my fault.

Thanks Adam, I enjoyed the drive home last night!

Are you manual or Tip?

[Machete Priest]

Is it even sensible to put that turbo in a Tip? I feel like the power would go to waste. I have the Tip with a stage 2+ tune and I feel like the transmission cannot keep up with the power.

Quick Question would it be a waste of money to try to install K04 unit on an 2010 automatic?

I wouldn't say it would be a waste of money, but the APR SEMA Tiguan was an automatic and had specific software to limit the output to not exceed the limits of the transmission.

4 motion auto

Well, I am driving it more than I drive my Cobb 135I right now, is super fun, effortless on the highway! too much fun.

If you have the funds I say its not a waste, its silly fast.
I dont even have a DP or exhaust. decided to keep the noise low.

[MacProD300]

RogM how much did you get the kit for and how much was the overall install if you don't mind answering. you don't have a DP and exhaust wont that cause any problems?

APR has a K04 Flash for cars running Stock DP and Exhaust...

What are your expected hp/tq figures? The APR website only lists figures based on K04 swap + bolt-ons (intake, TB exhaust, intercooler).

[rogM]

I havent dyno it, however I think I can subtract about 20hp and 30 tq from APR with bolt ons...

[GTIBOT2.0]

can you tell me how much in total did yo pay for everything from the K04 purchase to the install.

thanks

That's not bad at all. How many hours labor were involved?

i am not sure, they had to keep it for another day because APR did not have the tune ready.

Alright...so you've had it installed for a while...we need updates!!!

Driveability?
Impact on mileage?
How many transmissions have you burned through?

Hey, sorry i haven't check this thread for a while...
Still drives great, I did notice some power loss when was super hot a few weeks ago, I just order an intercooler that will be installed soon.

[DAYTA]
