To be honest 176 is very low amount for the effort and money spent i bet!
Be nice to get it around the 200bhp mark then your in business!!
Thats about 140ish @ the wheels!! Mines 110bhp @ the wheels big diff!!
Have you got any turbo lag??

Wow looks really tidy. I’m surprised it fit under the Polo’s bonnet looks really good. The extra power must come in handy. Must surprise a lot of people on the road.
Did the engine need a lot of work in order to add the turbo because of the high compression?

how much did the kit cost and how many hours approx did it take to fit?

I assume those bolt on jobs are only for a 16v and won't last aslong as the normal engine would! (i remember my mates renault 5 turbo, he went through 4 turbos in 35,000 miles
)
