Has anyone Tuned the new CTH engine?

[Transporter]

I hope it's true but logic seems to be a strong advocate against such a claim. APR with their full Polo 6R kit featured in a 2011 FWD shootout does 0-100 is 5.9s. Chip tune, CAI, intercooler, full exhaust, tyres and a bunch of handling stuff was thrown in to achieve this figure.

Yeah, but that was 3 years ago.

You've captured my interest. Any more info you can give me on this tune?

Indeed. If what you are alluding to is true, sign me up for one please.

edit: 0-100: 6.6s

Yes I was aware of ABT's perhaps modest claim of 6.6s. Guess it's a case of watch this space. I will stand corrected if I can't repeat something around 5.5s. Give me a few weeks.

My frame by frame analysis of the German youtube video in Windows Movie Maker suggests 5.5s is correct (in fact I calculated it at 5.3s) but who knows what other mods. this Polo has.

I know ABT tuned a Polo R WRC. Maybe that one does 5.5 with a tune, but on the GTI that does 6.9, these figures just seem too good to be true (as much as I wish it could). Can never get to the grocers quick enough.

Bump, I'm also really interested in this speculation.

[car_nut]

In the next few weeks I hope to post my own video of a 0 - 100km/hour run.

Couple of failed attempts to do a 0 - 100 at around 7.30am this morning after a 30 minute drive to a 100k zone. Bloody cars everywhere (it's Sunday morning!), changing gears with right hand while attempting to hold camera with left and could not see tacho clearly, loads wheels spin, bloody hopeless so backed off - I guess I'm no Stigg. Tried S mode with camera in right hand so I could see tacho and also backed off when tacho hit 7,000 in 2nd.

Will leave this German youtube video at speculation or delusion on my part or whatever.

Strap the camera to your right hand, with the help of the assistant you should be able to position the camera so it's looking at the instruments.

**** holding a camera... get a gopro mount and camera...

APR close now. April I hear... will be looking at it soon and will do some Dyno runs before and after.

Hmm... not everyone wants to spend $400 for the gopro camera.

Try doing that with a manual car......

Excuse my ignorance Lucas_R but what is that on your dash you have used to record the 0 -100 time?

Yes would be nice to have something like that so you could just concentrate on the driving but I would have no other use for it.

Looks like a G Tech Pro, I had one of these years back, they were $300-400 or so. They'll also do a quarter mile.

Its a P3 Cars gauge. Its made specifically for the Mk6 Golf and fits in the drivers side air vent. It shows boost, timing, exhaust gas temp, water temp, inlet air temp, rev limiter and 0-100kph timer.

Not sure if they do one for a Polo, but you could customise one to fit a Polo no doubt.
