Has anyone ever got rid of the turbo and swapped for a supercharger set up on a polo Gti 1.8? If so what size charger have they used ie cubic inch? Is there over heating problems, will probably relocate inter cooler to rear of the car anyway or possibly one at the front one at the back? If that’s possible?? Just need to know what size charger is best suited as I can’t find anything on the web. Also do Gti’s have a good oil recirculating system or is it best to get a upgraded pump and a bigger system

I'm thinking of turbocharging my 1.2l mk4f polo and was wondering if anyone else has done this what kit they used and if they have any pointers. Would also like to know if I will have to upgrade anything else for it to work properly.

Had my car in at the local VW specialist today, as I'd noticed a strange noise coming from the engine bay. (Comes on after about 2500 rpm when the engine is under load) He called me this afternoon to say he's almost 100% positive it's a turbo issue - thinks there's too much play with the spindle Now for the fun bit - warranty ran out in early July so unless I can get some kind of goodwill from VW I'm potentially looking at a bill for almost 2 grand! Going in for inspection at dealer Thursday morning so will at least have a second opinion, but after just over 40,500

Hello Polo people what engines have people seen turboed, I know loads of people do the g40/PY turbo, iv seen AAV turbos and some GTs, even a 1L turbo but have people done 1.4 AFH turbo or 1.6 16v AVY turbo? Just general discussion about what can be done really feel like making something stupid in the future.

I have a polo 1.4 9n3 16v. I am wondering if anyone knows how easy or hard it is to fit a turbo to my car. Obviously I wouldn’t be installing anything to crazy just a small turbo to boost my car. I have seen people saying this isn’t good for the car but surely a small turbo with all the correct additionals needed wouldn’t cause any major problems?

Jumping straight in.. I need help on what sort of injectors would fit, ive heard that the 130pd injectors fit but not quiet sure on what engine code I should be looking for. turbo is not a big issue as ive heard the garrett they put on the 1.4tdi BNM was half decent, im only looking in the 100-120 range of BHP. So, a remap is definiately happening with all of the exhaust being gutted, now would a straight pipe be better than cutting out the inside of the cat? due to pressure loss or something? maybe not enough to even feel a difference but maybe.
