Should I stage 1 tune my polo?

Post by nathanhill2282 »

Just seeing what people thing about their stage1 tunes (2018 gti specifically)

with a tune pusing the eninge up 40 HP give or take afu, is the power difference that notacible in the 0-110kmh range? Ive heard they are good for 100-200kmh but i wont every really be going that fast so dont care about that.

Also does it effect the sound much? no OPF so pretty decent now i think

spent all my money on my polo so not sure if its worth going more into debt for something that might be almost unoticible.
What do you think? cheers

I can certainly recommend it. Went to 270+ HP. The main difference is that instead of not happening very much from about 4500 rpm, it keeps going after that. Hence the much better 100 - 200 time (in my case 14,5 sec instead of 20+). But of course that difference presents itself in every in between acceleration. This engine can really use a remap (normally I would have been satisfied with 200 hp)
