Looking for Polo gti owner with GIAC chip

[callen]

Had my Polo dyno'd today.
104.9KW ATW.
Not to bad considering stock is 110KW ATFW and the only performance mod is a GIAC tune.

Hi, that seems very low unless you had heat soak. I got mine dynoed last year with just a GIAC tune and was consistantly getting a between 119-122ATW over a few runs. It could be worth trying another dyno to see if the one you used was out. If not you might have a boost leak.

I went with a mate who has a Mk6 Golf GTI DSG with APR tune done and his was reading 135KW ATFW which he thought was low as well. Might have been the Dyno. It was approx 33 Degres inside with 40% humidity. Not sure how that will affect things.

How many km's do u have on ur car? mine is 06, 26000km and i havent yet noticed any surging (appart from the turbo spooling up )

Best way to test the surging is jump on a highway with a boost gauge, chuck the car in 4th and let the car settle down to ~2000rpm in that gear. Then go full throttle up to 4,000rpm and you should see max boost be reached (typically 18-21psi for most tunes) and then see the boost drop to ~15psi, then back up and so on. If you don't have a gauge you can feel the drop in power as the boost drops, then feel the power come back slightly as it rises again.
