Polo GTI APR (PWR) Intercooler Change Guide

New platform will be completely different again right?

What benefit would they have in waiting for the CTHE?

Given the DSG/oil/other engine issues with the 6rGTI, i doubt many people are actively looking to pursue an upgrade path.
It is driven entirely by supply and demand and the Mk7 GTI and R is going to outstrip the 6r GTI on that easily.

Further, the Polo isn't available in the US which means it requires a lot more custom work to be done in Australia making it harder to recover the costs if you have such a small user base.

Interesting, I didn't realise the Polo wasn't available in the US!

You raise some very valid points.

God I hope not, the APR tune is the whole reason why I bought a Polo GTI and if they don't do it I will be devastated. The fact I got a 2013 model is because I was told the Oil problems had been rectified (not really) and that APR could tune it.

Hope it isn't lies because I am becoming very PISSED OFF.

What about a piggy back tuning box Steve, I know that their not as refined as a proper tune. I wonder if they would work with the CTH engine?

ABT Sportsline have a ECU upgrade available for CTHE with outputs similar to the APR CAVE upgrade.
The only thing stopping me getting one is the $1000+ premium over APR. It is a new ECU that takes over all functions rather than a tune of your existing ECU and ABT take over drivetrain warranty (don't know how that works!)

not really the way I want to go... as they are a little evasive to the whole day to day proposition.

Probably sell my car and buy a Golf GTI and then modify that with APR gear before that.

Sick of listening to excuses that don't make sense.

Be honest with me for **** sake.

Sounds interesting...

Can it be done without wiring changes?
