I had that engine in an A3 (i think) and that went bloody well.

Haha best get a few tins then!

Yeah thats what the donor car was but got a bigger turbo, uprated injectors, bigger maf, bigger exhaust to list a few of the engine mods ;)

Should be more than the 150bhp standard power around 260bhp i hope.

Someones stole half your car, on a serious note though your cars amazing mate. Great work

Just a quick one, why do i see you have got the right hand inlet manifold still have you found a way to make it work in the 6n because i could not get mine to fit for shit lool

Its all in my unit just need to get the bumpers painted after another painter messing me around.

Mine looks like its going to work, i wanted the shortest possible path between the cooler and inlet to get the best gains from it, I'm running a SeatSport intercooler so the inlet/outlet are on the same side top and bottom. With abit of fiddling it will work from what i can see/work out/hope.

Just a small update on a delivery. Not been up to the unit as the weathers been terrible to us 6" plus of snow atm...

But I ordered this early in the week and hopefully will make my piping easy as pie.

I wanted to have the shortest possible route between cooler and inlet for the most important reason COOL AIR. The colder the air the more dense the bigger the bang! BBBOOOOMMM!

So i've opted for an OEM VAG cooler, made for the Seat Leon/Ibiza Cup cars it is mainly used on the PD130 1.9TDI variant cars inlcude my Fabia VRS but i have the plan that it could fit nicely on the polo working out the height for it, it will sit perfectly between my lights and behind the grill. Having my front bumper re-designed at the minute to have the best airflow too so on the search for a big opening if not out comes the hole saw.

These intercooler are highly sort after and show amazing gains (apparently) so we'll see how we go.

Check out my package...no biggee.

On aother note being fucked around by another painter, he's had my bumpers for 5 months now and still not painted them but i haven't needed them until now so going to see another painter this next week at Full Circle paint in kilburn, heard very good things about them and they specialise in older vw stuff so should have some no-how. Plus they like a challenge ;)

Thats all for now :)

looking great but would look so much better with a 6 point cage especially for safety ;)

Literally next to know room available to fit the top boost pipe and route it to the AGU inlet.
