Re: Polo AW Photo Gallery

This is my GTi+ company car and now completed mini project. It's an absolute pleasure to drive... To me, perfectly modified for a balance of sportiness, comfort and economy. Although the exhaust is definitely not to everyone's taste... Or my neighbours at 5am on a Monday morning :lol: I drive loads ...

Re: Bloody hell this took me ages!

Your vids are spot on....

Re: Greg's Pearl Black GTI [Image Heavy]

Car looks amazing... great spec! As attim says, not many remap options available for the DSG cars yet. I've been in touch with about 20 companies so far and also looked into uprating the physical components of the DSG with no joy yet. The only option available at present is a remap from MTM down sou...

Re: New GTI

When I collected mine, I took it straight round to the petrol station filled up and pressed the trip reset.....The button was solid and wouldn't depress. I was driving the other day and I heard a little click from the dash. I noticed the reset button had popped up higher than usual. I pressed it and...

Re: APR Remap for Polo GTI 6c

280 bhp would be mental... I wonder if you'd have to upgrade some drivetrain and fuelling components to deal with that, especially if you're getting loads more torque. I'm not an expert but surely the little K03 would be close to it's limit towards 300 I reckon and you'd need to look at hybrids or K...

Re: APR Remap for Polo GTI 6c

I've made a little progress with this today.... Spoke to a chap at QS Tuning based in Sussex. He says that they have a tried and tested remap specifically for the DSG7 and have applied it to a number of customers cars. It's based on their partners product at MTM Germany:- http://www.mtm-online.de/en...

Re: RE: Re: New GTI

Gave my GTI a good clean, decontamination and wax over the last couple of days. Dealer prep prior to picking it up on 1st March was OK-ish but not not brilliant. I'm happy with it now. A few pictures; Looks cracking m8, yeah dealers prep leaves a lot to be desired. Mine has fair few swirls, got lot...

Re: APR Remap for Polo GTI 6c

Yeah, after a little bit of reading into the tuning boxes, it doesn't look like something that I'd be willing to risk. Just a thought..... Could the car be e-Tuned and if so, what equipment would I need? I used e-Tuning previously on my Mazda MPS with amazing results. I purchased the tuning software...

Super shiny, really easy to clean and lasts for 5 years :D

Re: APR Remap for Polo GTI 6c

I really didn't have any confidence speaking to Awesome GTI so ended up having the remap completely removed and a full refund. I took the car straight round to Stadt Technik who are a dealer of Revo.... They said they have already tuned some manuals but would like my car to develop a tune that works...

Re: APR Remap for Polo GTI 6c

Had very similar symptoms with my 6r GTi which was mapped by AwesomeGTi and then removed two weeks after.. they don't seem to have the hang of the DSG maps as they told me exactly the same story about the dyno not being able to give accurate graphs so don't know how they claim to be able to map wit...
