UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I've had mine for 2 years now and I noticed this in the start, I actually put a dp and exhaust and had the car remapped and has been perfect ever since which has been 18 months which makes me think think the factory map either ran the car too lean at that Rev range before the turbo started boosting ...

Now I know its not a GTI but one can dream:

By the time you replace the intercooler, turbo and injectors (don't forget the clutch if you're manual), it would've been far more cost effective to buy a GTI, and you wouldn't have an engine straining at the seams.

Those 140ps EcoBoost engines are dropping like flies at 2 years old.


So I ...

Yea so rate the car was slightly over 70kw when I got it, VW must have put mine together on a Friday when the drinks were flowing. But the exhaust and downpipe was custom made so I'm not surprised it gave a 15 odd kw. Cars are know for not being exact out the factory. The differ on climate. I ...

So the car said it was 70kw stock, I did a dyno before the Tune but the car did have a freeflow and downpipe, this dyno'd at 85kw on the wheels, then after the map 99.5kw on the wheels.


Something doesn't stick here...
85kW at the wheels?? Stock with just exhaust? That means that you had 115 ...

That will be my project later this year, replacing the turbo and the intercooler to try get it to 140kw.


Presumably injectors too?
Can't see the stock injectors being able to supply enough fuel.
My Alpina D3, which is a tuned 320D, had the turbo/intercooler/injectors from the 325D.


yea ...

Ford's Ecoboost 1.0 litre is putting out 140PS, which is 105KW.
They reckon they can get it to 200PS no problem.

They are 17inch VW replica wheels, they are standard offset as I did not require spacers or hubs. They are 17 40 215.

Yea its alot for a 1l, I was very impressed with the outcome. I am in JHB which is about 2000M above sea level inland so coast would prob make slightly more power. The car was dyno'd before the map but I had already done the exhaust. So first dyno after exhaust and downpipe was 85kw then after ...

Bear in mind the difference on the graph was between the first run and second run after the tune. The stock car is 70kw and 190nm after tune and exhaust its 100kw and 250nm so the increase was 30kw(40bhp) and 60nm both of which are substantially noticeable.

My polo trendline after some mods:

Full exhaust and downpipe was the way i went to get the deeper sound, and it gave me 15kw before I did my remap, here is a link to the sound of the car if you want to hear what it sounds like. The exhaust manufacturer I used cut the bumper for me as you mentioned because the bumper would block a ...

I've have done a full ECU remap on my trendline (70kw) and after the Dyno it is making 100kw on the wheels. I do however also have a full exhaust. The remap was done by Celtic Tuning which is a UK based company, this was done by a vendor as I am in South Africa. Car is running well, noticeable power ...
