Polo tsi 77 chip tune

[Lucas_R]

^ you wont find another 30kw because the turbo on these is just so small and was never meant for performance. The intercooler is also a limiting factor as its moulded/part of the inlet manifold so its both very small and not very efficient. An intake setup, some sort of 2.25" dump pipe and a tune would be about all you could do. Perhaps water injection might help the intercooler out and free up a little more power (and help make the power consistent).

Cheers Lucas_R,
Yeah seems it's set up toward the fuel economy side of things...it is a very innovative engine, a lot of plastics, amazing bits of technology. I reakon water injection is a spot on solution too, the stale heat just above the bitumen saps a lot of power, the difference between 1pm and 1 am is phenomenon out where I live. But probably getting a bit to serious for a DD.

i personally have no idea where to start when it comes to the turbo, have you heard of anyone placing a bigger turbo in the 77kw

No point unless you want to change lots of plumbing and upgrade the IC as well. You'd be better off starting with water injection or as it's a water/air IC try & lower the cooling system temps somehow

There are more brands out there than APR. Transporter sells another brand. It's probably worth looking into.

APR's will be released shortly, there are at least 5 different ECU processors involved and dozens & dozens of ECU part numbers, and two manufacturers, so it will take a little time to get it all sorted.

It will be worth the wait!
