Think you'll find this is a 9n3 bud.

A good remap and I believe you'll see 200bhp no problem or at least just shy of it

Might get better results looking for Ibiza FR/Cupra tuning. Much more popular, and the same engine too.
Could look into K04 conversions - will need a turbo, manifold and a few other bits I can't remember off hand.

Should not simply an APR chip give about 205/210bhp?
Mine got quite frisky after the remap. Recommended ^^

Now I looked into a remap and a revo stage 1 should give 210 but there is not a place close that could do it.
So for now im just going to get a boost guage and a forge 008 dv

Forge tip, Uprated re-circ valve and get yourself down to R-tech for a custom remap should see 210bhp with that.
Im slowly buying the bits towards getting a remap and making it reliable! Hate being a student

On a side note, how much are forge TIPs? Benefits v Cost?

Forge TIP's is defo worth doing. Sound nice and with a cone filter and remap you will see 210 easy! Especially with a Revo map. Revo are sooooo good, worth taking a trip up somewhere to get a Revo map for your car

little update on the polo
i have fitted a fmdv008
next thing to do is sort the back light out
Thats it for this month next month it will be getting a full machine polish (not by me as i dont trust myself)
and also going to start changing all the engine hoses to blue samco silicone hoses.
will update when this all gets done.

R tech map is a custom remap. It's very good he will make sure your car is running right rather than just putting it on like a few mappers I know not going to say what ones because I have had enough trouble from them already.
