German tuner B&B has a tuning package for the VW Tiguan that provides a lot more zest than comes standard on the compact SUV.
The specialist in VW/Audi tuning has four different power packages for the 2.0 liter TFSI Tiguan. The first comes by way of a little electronic meddling and increases output to 240hp and 340 Nm of torque for a price of 998 euros. The second and third stages include new air pipes and an intercooler to take the hp ratings to 250 hp and 286 hp, respectively.
But the tastiest plate on the menu is the 300 hp and 420 Nm tuning package, achieved with a recipe of a special sport exhaust that reduces counter-pressure and a high-quality sport catalyst. Another ingredient is the slim-line oil cooler that helps keep engine temperature down after the hot electronic tinkering that is done to achieve that sky-high hp rating.
Diesel lovers need not worry, as B&B also has engine tuning packages for the 2.0 TDI which can go up to 220 hp and 420 Nm of torque.
The 1.4 liter TFSI with 150 standard hp and 240 Nm also gets a B&B boost, taking that diminutive power plant to up to 220 hp and 330 Nm of cranking power.
There are also chassis/suspension tuning trick available that can lower the Tiguan up to 40mm. 18, 19 and 20-inch wheels are also on the shelf as well as an aerodynamic kit.
The body kit seen in the photos here is provided by Belgian tuner Caractere.
