77TSi Parts

[blake12345]

Hi,

So Im looking at buying my first VW in the near future and am looking at the MY13 77TSi Polo (I want the GTi but dont think the other half is wanting to stretch the budget that far).

My question is, Im not the kind of person the leave a car standard and im selling my play car to help fund the new daily so where can I get basic bolt on performance parts for this car such as intake, engine mounts, suspension? Everything I can find online is for the GTi. Can parts for the GTi be used on the 77TSi?

I know warranty is affected by adding this parts but if needed I can swap back to stock parts.

Thanks
Blake

Fabia vRS? same engine & chassis as the Pogo GTI for less money.

First 2 mods for the 77tsi would be Koni Yellows & a remap

None of the GTI parts will work performance wise as engine is completely different. Maybe intake but I don't no if the 77 intake is similar to the GTI. Suspension will fit but you will need to check front axle weight as there are different types. Other bits will fit but there purely cosmetic.

As for the fabia. It's not much cheaper and I herd the chassis was based on a older model(some one quote me if I'm wrong)
And the interior is bland and lifeless, build quality is worse inside and I'm pretty sure the standard options are less.

Remember that. Polo 77tsi plus comfort pack and sports pack are nearly the cost of a GTI. That's why I just spent the extra. You may not want those two packs but something to think about.

Hi blake

im gonna save Gavs the effort cause im sure he will post the same thing.
i suggest you take a look at the stickyed post at the top of this polo section of the forum. Gavs has put together a good selection of pages including aftermarket parts.
as far as performance parts, there isn't really a market for the TSI engine. the most you can really do is get a K&N pod filter and the DNA ECU tune to bump the power up

Hope this helps

Yard price for the rs fabia is 27900 plus on roads. I got an ex demo with just 3500 kms on the clock for just 25600 drive away. Same dealer was selling the polo gti for 33990 - big difference.
Find your local dealer and you might geta bargain.

The chassis is from an older model. One whole year older. Big fat hairy deal. I challenge any normal person to tell the difference under anything but the most challenging conditions.
The interior is definitely less plush than the polo, but the odd Bluetooth module hanging off the Polo's dash ruins the look. Build quality was perfect. Haven't found anything to quibble over at all.
Seats hug you nicely and only a fraction less plush than the polo.
Standard options? Not sure if that is what you meant but the Skoda has everything. Excellent Bluetooth integration mp3 aux hill start assist cruise climate control stainless steel sills multi function display centre console folding arm rests so many things I can't remember them all.

And it drives like a demon or a damsel depending on your mood. Not the car for everyone but we love ours

Blake I've had my 77TSI for 2 weeks now and am in a similar boat to you. Got it with Sport and Comfort Pack for $20k so was pretty chuffed.

I'm lining up a tune through John from DNA and will probably put a new air filter on and and exhaust. Not trying to make it into a GTI, but there is a little more potential there than VW let us get at. Other than that a few little visual things I might try out but basically just going to enjoy what is a great little car. The 6 speed manual is great fun and you find yourself putting your license at risk too easily so don't worry about not being as fast as a GTI.

Or you can go crazy and chase every KW there is.

Thanks for the replys.

I have slowly been looking through the sticky threads and there is so much information in there.

We are test driving the TSi and a GTi today so I'll see what the prices are like as we wanted to go with the Sportspack if we went the TSi. If the price is not much less then the GTi or they can do us a good deal we'll go the GTi.

I would prefer the polo over the fabia as im not a huge fan of the body.

In the near future i will mainly be wanting to do intake, exhaust and suspension mods to get it sounding nice and handling better.

+1. It's also a stealth car, and the only people who want to race you at the lights are Getzes and (normal) Swifts etc, which is just embarrassing for all concerned.

Blake,

Honestly if you are going to do suspension and wheel mods why bother with paying the extra for the Sport pack (really its just wheels and lowered height).

Spend a bit on the comfort pack and use the spare change to do your mods.

cheers

Don't you get a body kit with the sports pack as well?

The Fabia (Skodas in general) aren't for everyone but they are always worth the cross-shop.

• Street prices are significantly less than the RRPs. Unfortunately VWAUS control Skoda pricing & they don't want Skoda white-anting VW.
• Chassis - I'm not sure. It could be a deal breaker for some.
• Interior & exterior looks - these are subjective. Again, Skoda isn't for everyone.
• Standard inclusions - generally Skoda gets more bells & whistles than the VW equivalent.
• Build quality - Overall I hear a lot less complaints about Skoda build quality than VW.

I think my Skoda looks better now than when I bought it 4 years ago - the look grows on you.

As I said, they aren't for everyone. Most people prefer the conservative option & buy what everyone else is buying - eg: Mazda3.

And don't forget the sports pack comes with the TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system) and the foglights with static cornering. The sports pack is well worth the money in my opinion.

Ive got Sports and Comfort pack on mine. There really isnt much more you could want.

Besides a supercharger on the engine too!

I was driving a 9N3 polo and the jump from that is crazy. each day i find a new little trick it has.

[readerr0r]

The MFA+ tacho on the GTI is nice too.

It is a question of how far you're going to go in the long term and wether you want to just pay for it now. It'd be very, very hard to get comparable performance out of a DSG 77TSI w/Comfort and Sport to near the level of the GTI. Throw in the MFA+ Tacho (ala Golf 6), floor mats, GTI steering wheel and seats and things get pretty tricky.

That said if you're not going full hog, a 77TSI with the remap to 100kW is a good value proposition.

[blake12345]

Well I took both the TSi and GTi for a quick drive today and I liked them.

Still not sure what way we will go but if we go the GTi we'll probably have to look for one with a few k's on it as the drive away price is tad to much for us. The seats are also alot more comfy in the GTi!!
