What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[route]

What do you notice the most? Response? Power figures? I've been thinking about getting it too but I'm worried my gears with shorten. I feel they are short already n fear with more power I'll be changing faster.

much better response and the turbo just pulls so much stronger. i noticed a 0.2 bar increase in boost after the tune.
car feels the same when you feather the throttle, but give it a little push and the car just takes off. WOT just puts a smile on your face...i also noticed that the exhaust sounds louder as well.
i would say, just go for it! totally worth it mate!

Haha u didn't really address my concern about the gears becoming shorter hehe I drive manual, I'm guessing it might not be a problem in DSG? I got my resignator deleted a month ago, (not that much louder), so what u say about the exhaust has me intrigued

How much was ur tune if I may ask?

Anyone know the formula to convert Tractive Effort (N) to (NM) on a dyno?

Need to check my dyno runs!

got an APR stage 1 tune for my 1.2 TSI... and it is AWESOME!

Came in here to say the same thing haha. Really surprised with how well it goes now. Mine is manual and the biggest increase I noticed was torque. Really fun to drive now. Admittedly I only drove it from the car yard to Harding performance before hand but have driven my sisters 77tsi as well. Wheels go on tomorrow, coilovers Monday.

Official release is 8-00am tomorrow Lots of hard work has gone into this in the past 5 months.

APR Presents 1.2 TSI Upgrade!

[stiffy86]

Haha Guy tell James he jumped the gun and gave it to me early. And I couldn't be happier. Like a little go kart.

APR Presents 1.2 TSI Upgrade!

That's weird... I did mine quite sometime ago.. That was right after they announced the release

[Guy_H]

Its official:

APR Presents the 1.2 TSI upgrade!

Now it's big kudo's to the 5 APR engineers involved directly here in Australia, and to the many involved back at HQ.

My task in this was to supply 9 different Polo & Golf 1.2 TSI's over 4 weeks for the calibrators - that was plenty for me to do. And now pay for the Dyno & fan electricity bill

Bbs LM's, AP coilovers, tint, APR tune. Thats all I've done this week. This weekend I'll get a few little dings looked at (last time I buy a second hand car), debadge it, get bluetooth installed, maybe a resonator delete and lower it another 15/20mm. Fun little run around. Cant recommend the APR tune enough. Traction control lights up in first with 215's.

I got my resonator deleted a month ago, it's very subtle. Sounds good on cold start but goes back to normal once warmed up. Most u will hear is quick kick revs in neutral from 900-1400 revs other than that it's very much like before

I get my APR tune for the GTI done tomorrow morning. Can't wait!

[stiffy86]

Rears are maxed except for collars and cbf doing that in a car park. Fronts are down another 15mm. Might sell these wheels to buy an 8inch to stretch the tyre a bit so I can lower it more. Buying an ez lip soon too.



Also so parked next to my sisters tsi with sports pack. Big difference.

Sold the Polo so need to part out soon
