UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just wondering whats the standard 0-60 time compared with a remapped 0-60?

Standard 8.3
Mapped anywhere between high 5s to low 7s depending on the map and other mods

6.6 sec with Revo Stage 1 @ Santa Pod Raceway (Or there abouts, ill get the official time tomorro off the printouts)

mines 5.5 seconds with 240bhp.

mine was around 6.4 with stage one, forge tip, and 007p

Cheers guys thats the sort of info im after whats it like for putting the power down with a good map though? I had the tt 225 and a ibiza cupra pd160 before hand both felt alot better off the line than my standard polo gti. will remapping it kill my traction?

It wont kill your traction provided your running on good rubber, investing in a good set of tyres is always a good thing.
VW under powered the GTI as standard so running 190-200bhp on a stage 1 map wont cause you any problems

PD160 Ibiza Cupra's are animals when mapped, mate had his done on the weekend at P-Torque and pulled 205bhp & 306 ft lbs of torque pound for pound they are without doubt the best diesel hatchback money can buy, AP racing 4 pot brakes as standard too

Sounds good to me cheers for that!

Yes the cupra was a cracking car, by far the best car i've driven



I will get some of the gti up once ive put her right

Yeah they are great little cars

Just out of curiosity why did you go for a Polo GTI and not the Ibiza Cupra 20V?
Not dissing the Polo because I love them but the Cupra's are better value for money, more power & better brakes too

Purely for insurance reasons the cupra went upto £2895.00 to which i refused to pay after paying £2400 origionally. Must admit i prefer the look of the polo and the interior, deffo dont like the mpg after being used to around 40tho!

Heres a quick one of the GTI currently a work in progress, I havent had chance to do much to it yet

Looks very nice mate

I agree the Polo is a better looking car and the attention to detail & quality is far better with Volkswagens, Seats are great value for money though and I like the way they kit out their cars with performance goodies
