What did you do to your Polo today?

[Bflat]

In case the polo people haven't checked the Dub-stitute thread, I went a little silly with my polo haha

[csimpson]

Let me know how it feels, I have had one sitting here for the last 6 months and havent fitted it yet

Yeah definitely will do! Still haven't worked out how to open my bonnet with the release cable broken, so it's off to VW in a few days to get fixed. Out of warranty of course, hope it's not too pricy. Plenty more for them to do besides:

• Fix broken passenger seat-pull
• Fix rattle in driver's door
• Retrieve plastic piece from A-pillar trim, dropped down A-pillar
• Fix rattle from rear of car (possibly rear seat strikers?)

Edit: Also just ordered an auxiliary 3.5mm audio cable for the RCD 200 stereo. Soon enough I'll finally have my iPod playing rather than the radio or the not-always-working CD player.

So who wants to put their hand up for a Frankenturbo Stage 3 Kit haha?

What sort of a relative step-up is this kit over the 'standard' K04? I had thought the next jump from my current setup was to go a massive Garrett turbo with custom tuning etc but it sounds like this could be an interesting option if there are decent gains over the K04 setup I've currently got (supplied by APR).

A massive turbo on a polo means it will be less driveable on the street. Being FWD = Wheelspin. Do you have a LSD, how is the power at the moment. I will ask you, if you are driving along in say 2nd gear at 50 or 60 and floor it, do you get wheelspin. that is what my car is doing now.

There is a guy on Vortex making something like 280whp with a frankenturbo and water meth

Dont know yet, I am only running a standard K04 tune.

This week, taken car out of show mode, semi slicks on and changed intake to GIAC spec, which is a S3/TT225 Maf and a big ass HKS mushroom (well i call it that) filter.
Have to wait for the MAF to adapt, then some logging will be done and sent to GIAC so they can start playing with my tune

My car does have an LSD so traction is pretty good other than in 1st gear. The car won't spin the wheels in 2nd in the dry like yours does but not sure if that's due to the LSD or if you're just making more power (or both).

Street drivability isn't an issue - I'm keeping the Polo as a track car so my future mods will be geared to that environment, where low-end power can suffer if it means a stronger top end.

Nice, can you do a build thread or do you have any info on your car.
What do you have in terms of suspension setup ?

[FLYINGTI]

Sweet as!
should run nicely, sounded nice taking off on Sunday after the show!
engine bay looks mint aswell ! probably should have taken out best presented aswell instead of us three polos ha

Ordered a Seat Sport FMIC

Wow nice, was looking at one of these but seemed a bit hard to get from the UK

[VWindahouse]

+1 how much did it set you back mate?

[Evaded Motorsport]

Should be about $350 - $400 landed second hand.

[VWindahouse]

No way, that's awesome! Are you getting a piping kit made for the diesel?
