No. Turbo is Continental raax.

where did you find this information? Indications show it's a very good efficient design. Have been trying to research as much info as i can on the EA8883b and turbo so i know (once my warranty is up) what mods i can do (intercooler exhaust etc) to get some more power out
Just checked my 2018 pre-WLTP GTI+ and it's also got an IS20. Couldn't tell you what the new one has as the wife left it at work today to embark on a cocktail making "team building" exercise in an expensive Newcastle bar - my company wouldn't even buy me a lemonade!
Well, mine is June 2019 and that is what's sitting under the bonnet, so I reckon most if not all are running the IS20... which will make life so much easier in the futuremonkeyhanger wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 6:25 pm

Not having seen this German discussion, what do you mean by thermic limits? Any chance of posting a link?Rosinfield wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 8:08 am I'm also interested in a stage 1 remap now the ECU finally seems to be flashable. However due to someone's reaction on a German forum, I started doubting. Maybe some of you can make some sensible remarks about these concerns. The point being made, is that the Miller motor used in the Polo AW GTI would be already close to it's thermic limits. Consequently chiptuning (without hardware adjustments) would seem to be Russian roulette. I am not at all technically schooled enough to judge this, but on the other hand I can't imagine reliable chiptuners would start doing it when this assertion were true. Any thoughts?
Here's the link, @monkeyhanger. I'm referring to what dauntless says on the last page. I noticed a similar discussion somewhere in the beginning of this thread, where he states something in a similar vein.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:02 am Not having seen this German discussion, what do you mean by thermic limits?

Are you talking about the intercooler, which is thought to be only good to get you to 250ps? Or is there some other consideration possibly the thermodynamics of the Miller cycle that can't be pushed much further with current hardware?

Stage 1 makes sense- seems like you're getting a remap that is within the realms of what the stock hardware (intercooler seems the first limiting factor) can comfortably handle. Stage 3 is crazy money though - might as well buy a Golf R and spend £500 renapping that to circa 370ps.pressplay wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 11:51 am 316bhp, 317lb ft
