Hi, Have not yet thought about all that as my car was just tuned 10 days ago. Oil definitely yes, might have to do a change every 5-6k Kms. The braking is actually fine for now. I believe the tiguan comes with larger brakes than the sedans or hatchbacks of VW/Skoda. So might plan for it later. I have changed my wheels and tyres though so that definitely improved the overall performance and looks. Suspension also I haven't put much thought into it. I cant really lower it as I have a maxton design kit on it with the splitter, diffuser and side skirts. This already makes it quite low in the front and the roads in India make it hard to not scrape them. So I might have to stick with the stock height.

Hey Guys, Just thought I would post an update on the EA888 Gen3b engines. I have a VW tiguan 2021 with the Ea888 gen3b 190HP version. I know people are scared to tune this beyond stage 1 due to the high-compression nature of this engine, but it is possible. Provided your tuner knows what he is doing. Obviously it might run down the life of the engine, but I am okay with it as I like to enjoy my cars when I have them. Speaking to my local tuner in India, Hyderabad, he mentioned that he did tune a previous Q2 with the same engine to 380HP. All it needed upgraded was a downpipe, IS38 turbo, intercooler, Plugs, coil packs TCU tune and ECU tune. So I pulled the plug and got mine done. It is all good and running fine after the tune and he claims he should be pushing around 350-360 Hp and over the next few weeks we plan on bumping up the boost slowly to achieve 380+ HP if possible. Now to the car itself. The fastest car I ever drove setting aside supercars on hire is my daily drive EQC400 which is pretty quick with a 0-100 time of 5 seconds. My tiguan now is definitely pushing way above that and it keeps on pulling all way up in the rev range to 200 KMPH. it is a blast to drive and quite scary the way it pulls when the boost kicks in. It is running a 95 ron map. Testing the possibilities of doing a 100ron map which should ideally give more power and torque. I saw this video where a tuner successfully tuned it and got 390 hp out of this engine. This gave me some confidence along with my tuner stating that he has done it before.
