Guys,

I know it's not a Polo but may still interest some of you..

Early days yet (as we only got the test car earlier this week) but just wanted to share what will become our little test bed for the 1.8T platform

Plans include larger turbo, FMIC, injectors, custom exhaust and manifold.. and a few other things. Probably nothing you haven't seen done before (or maybe a few new things) but certainly we want to demonstrate our committment to this marque and to continue innovating (even when people think there's nothing left to do).

The test car is an absolutely mint 2000 year 150 1.8T (ARZ) with a warranted 63k miles. It really is barely run in. Car is completely stock, not even an aftermarket panel filter.

It's making near perfect figures on the stock run (calculated engine horsepower at around 153bhp with zero correction)

And then we tuned it

I have to point it this is not one of our standard remaps and we are pushing the car really quite hard, but as it's not a customer car... we can take the gamble..

Again with zero correction, calculated engine HP at 217bhp and actual power on the rollers at almost 200bhp..

I'm quite excited at what's to come in the weeks ahead, and I'll try and keep you all posted.

nice car... but.

should be a project thread.

we have a section especially for non-polos. :-D

So what did you actually "tune" then to get that power?

Good work!

Ah sorry guys didn't realise there was another section.

It's just a very brutal remap, some fine tweaks also carried out to fuelling, timing (and of course boost) as well as some stuff I'd rather not share in the open forum. It's really tuned to within an inch of its life but as I say it's not a customer car and although we don't want to break it, we're prepared to take the risk.

Essentially this is the process we follow for most of the vehicles we have tuned in-house.. tune them till we understand their limitation and then achieve a balanced tune for release to our dealer network of some 100+ agents worldwide.

sounds good, love 1.8t's man.

I'm guessing the ARZ is the same as the AGU except the large port head on the AGU?

If so, how much is one of your remaps? I'm asking for my house mate, it'll be an AGU with a ko3s and possibly a filter.

Got any 1.9 PD maps?

AGU is the cable throttle early iteration - I actually couldn't answer as to whether it has the larger port heads, my business is built around installation. I'm sure you can Google the answer or drop me an email and I'll check it out with our engineers.

PD 1.9 ? What are those lol

Yes of course, that's bread and butter business for us mate.
