What did you do to your Polo today?

[Kiel_GTI]

Not 100% sure. I felt something a little strange when I first put my foot down, but I may have been trying to feel something that was not there. Got the feeling like the ECU stuttered as it was correcting for more pressure than it was expecting...

No probs with the bumper, Follow the Forge FMIC directions (on their site). Find myself saying that a lot recently, but it is a great guide for the bumper removal.

removal was easy.

the opposite didnt go back as smoothly. think the headlights may have dropped on one side and raised on the other.

investigation needed

Suspension upgrade

Hi Mike

Yes very excited - suspension should sharpen things up. I have found the stock handling to be bit underwhelming

I have to say that I am jealous of the Victorians - it would be great to meet a few more pog drivers from our forum

This was after FMIC install? Sounds like the crash bar has moved.
When it goes back on, if you guide the sides in close, they fall in groves pretty easily. I fought it the wrong way and got no where, remove it fully and ensure the sides glide into the connections and it all lines up well.

Definitely have more boost now, looks like one of my connections was not tight enough. As the silicone hoses soften with the heat, was probably a good thing I got around to this and clamped it all up tight.

Got dyno'ed for the first time today...Not that impressed with it, but 37C ambient temp and 100C intake temp gave me a reading of 115KW ATW... Not that good next to the 3 APR Stage 3 Audi S3's that all got over 250KW ATW...

Hoyhoy.

New glasses would have been cheaper, Jase.

fitted the SEAT intake today. also cut the plastic flap off the intake (the inside of the first part of the stock intake) to allow more airflow.

just realised the SEAT intake is twice the side of the stock POG's.

The heat def have something to do with it ! i'd expect more ATW kw for a chipped POG....your POG is APR chipped right?

[Blitzen]

Yeah, it is. Guy was there at the dyno day, and another ex Polo owner was there to, and they both said this happens on hot days due to the heat soak. I was expecting it to be down, so **** happens really. It has been discussed in a couple of threads before.
I had the car checked for fault codes, and nothing came up. I will start looking at an intercooler closely in the near future.

Sounds about right given the conditions - as a comparison I got 120kw ATW with around 70deg intake temp.

Is that with an FMIC?

Tagging on to this question;

Negative on both - tune only.

I'd want to be seeing mid 130's if I had both of those!
