Do they make one for POLO 6N2 GTI?
Anyone tried?
Some of my mates here in HK installed on their GOLF GTI,
they claimed that the car become much responsive on acceleration.

Sounds like NOS!

On a more serious note though, no idea what this is, smoke if you could give a little more info that'd be great

Looks a like a good idea for a DBW throttle car.

I doubt it is. It's a device that increases the throttle response in drive-by-wire cars (including the GTI). It looks like a good idea and they make one for the Polo, also.

Oh i see it connects to your accelerator pedal giving it some on the gas constantly no doubt, so when you go for gold the engine is already revving slightly higher giving you the edge.

Do reputable tuning companies fit these things ?

Just have an incling about this, have you noticed the link to the Turbonator website on that page ? Supercharge any car for $69.95

It does seem a good idea, in principle from what they say on the site. But as you said, tuning companies aren't exactly ranting and raving about it. I don't think there would be any gains from it really, thinking about it.

That 'supercharge your car for $69.95" site is brilliant. I wonder what sort of gains I'd get from putting one on my puny 1.0 engine...

as for my GOLF mates did the realworld test,
they indeed notic the big different in throttle response with SB on.

But it just a device that make better throttle response,
not HP gain.
