6c Apr Remap what turbo have I got ?

Post by Algeo007 »

As a new member, and a great believer of more power :lol: I feel the power gains for £600 is a steal.
I remember my old Cupra R with a Revo map the torque steer tried to kill me every time I got in and I swore 250bhp plus in a front wheel drive was to much. The little polo GTI with the xds diff should be able to handle it better, so I thought a remap would be fun and maybe a cheeky Milltek to boot :roll:

I've seen the famous Jo Marano post about his blown turbo and the love for his Polo :shock: on a stock turbo ending 701T which then got replaced with one ending 703J.

Question is where does it say it on the turbo? Anyone got any ideas?

66 plate?

Don't fancy taking the chance on the map if it's the 701T.

Any feedback on running Apr maps welcome.

A trip up to Awesome GTI to use rr for set up would be my choice.

I bought the Polo not from VW directly, a Indy did the service prior to me collecting it, so it's not seen a main dealer since new.

Do you think it will need any updates prior to me maybe doing this map?

It’s normally stamped onto a tag or onto the turbo housing somewhere. You’d have to physically look

And yes, it’s likely got some software updates outstanding. Possibly a few recalls too.
