Guys,
I know it's not a Polo but may still interest some of you..
Early days yet (as we only got the test car earlier this week) but just wanted to share what will become our little test bed for the 1.8T platform
Plans include larger turbo, FMIC, injectors, custom exhaust and manifold.. and a few other things. Probably nothing you haven't seen done before (or maybe a few new things) but certainly we want to demonstrate our committment to this marque and to continue innovating (even when people think there's nothing left to do).
The test car is an absolutely mint 2000 year 150 1.8T (ARZ) with a warranted 63k miles. It really is barely run in. Car is completely stock, not even an aftermarket panel filter.
It's making near perfect figures on the stock run (calculated engine horsepower at around 153bhp with zero correction)
And then we tuned it
I have to point it this is not one of our standard remaps and we are pushing the car really quite hard, but as it's not a customer car... we can take the gamble..
Again with zero correction, calculated engine HP at 217bhp and actual power on the rollers at almost 200bhp..
I'm quite excited at what's to come in the weeks ahead, and I'll try and keep you all posted.
