Well I played around with the car a little today I plumbed the bov instead of having it plumb and vent topped up a little oil and checked all vacuume lines and cooler pipes then disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and the warning light is gone so we will see if it comes back but I think I just gave it too much the other day trying to keep up with my bosses SS LOL

What is this trying to keep up with an SS? What you mean is that your boss was agast, as you overtook the SS in 3rd gear! Lol

Ok I went into a work shop near my work today (SAS) silverwater automotive services and they said they can tune my car but don't use standard programs. They do full custom coding on the dyno and go over the car and they said $1200
I'm guessing this is a better option so they can tune it to what my motor can handle but just wanna know if the price is alright and it's worth paying that much for custom code and if it will be much better than just a normal program?Comment

For relatively standard mods like you are doing I'd be saving the cash and getting a proven off the shelf solution (i.e., CC, APR and so on).
I'd only see the benefit of what you're suggesting if it was something the off the shelf guys couldn't offer, i.e., bigger turbo.
There are other benefits such as CC can delete the SAI CEL for example.
I've just done the same FMIC as you, pd160, forge dv and now sorting out a downpipe so I can get a CC stage 2 tune.08 9n3 Polo GTI

So have they done many Polo's or will yours be the first?Originally posted by LZY13B View Post
If you are keen to have one off software. See Parsorex IMO.
Otherwise, if they managed to make more than 5hp over any other tune, you could consider yourself lucky.

Green slip 760 then rego another 330 or something it's a jokeComment

Whilst that's the done thing with jap cars, it's rarely if ever done with the VW's (I won't generalise and say the euro's). On my old subaru, I'd never have considered this tuning approach, perhaps the tolerances are lower or more variables in japanese cars, but given the number of VW's getting around tuned and the varying bolt on mods, they are nearly all done without custom tuning or dyno runs. It took a bit for me to feel comfortable with the approach, but is evident that it works and is reliable.Originally posted by LZY13B View Post
As Gav said, how many polo's have they done? seen the dyno charts? You know what to look for anyway, all I'm suggesting is that euro's seem to take a different approach to japanese tuners with reliability and power proven.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Ok I might pop into peek performance on my way home from work and have a talk with them. I think they will be a bit cheaper maybe around the 900 mark i just wanna make sure it's a half decent program being my daily I want the shop that does it local if I have problems.
Tune, rego and rebuilt of the turbo on my rx7 in one month is gonna hurt my wallet hahaComment

Also I know that shop has done lots of VW's but mainly golfs not polo's but also do everything from jap spec to big v8's and aren't cheap so I'll keep looking aroundComment
