New GIAC performance software for polo

[archangel_7]

Hey guys was just browsing around the GIAC website and came across this http://www.giacusa.com/programs.php?mpid=234 and would like your thoughts I think it’s a bit too much for a 1.8 ltr don’t you think? Maybe a little bit too overboard for the little beast? I mean, how fast does it need to be? Considering the traction issues we face. I can just imagine what the price would be on that performance upgrade!

You'd have to consider getting an LSD for around 1500 fitted, for that amount of power, chances you'll still probably spin anyway

Then a large degree of the traction issues should be resolved.

That SW is for the K04, so you'd have to factor the price of that as well. It would be similar power to Guy Hardings Polo GTI with APR and his installed an LSD.

As FL00DY states its the new program for the K04 upgrade and its not as expensive as the APR kit.

As for too much power? I'll let you know in the future.

How soon in the future?

[Flaps]

not soon enough

[DaveMack]

Which raises the question ... IS there such a thing as TOO MUCH POWER ... or should it be more accurately be put as NOT ENOUGH RUBBER?

Not enough rear wheels being driven to put power down

Bingo we have a winner.

Does GIAC have a dealer in QLD? (searched forum & came up with nil)

[Flaps]

I don't beleive there is a GIAC dealer in QLD.

[archangel_7]

has anyone installed this kit yet?

[Grant]

don't think so mate. by the time you get the brakes, suspension and lsd to try and handle all that power you might as well of bought a golf and remapped it. its a lot of $$$ on what is meant to be a low cost everyday performance car. and of course there's the traction..

Guy's APR Polo had around 190kw, it lapped around Morgan Park almost as quick as his 300kw Golf does now.
