New GIAC performance software for polo

[FL00DY]

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..

Sean is in the process of this upgrade ... hope it's finished soon mate

is it the APR kit? will be a beast no doubt. i sounded a bit negative in my above post, was basically trying to say its out of most ppls price range. especially mine being a uni student

No he's doing GIAC upgrade, with LSD.

[Desmo]

Know which LSD, Quaiffe or Peloquin?

It is one upgrade I am very interested in..

[Flaps]

It's Peloquin. LSD is fully sick.

[DubSteve]

LSD's make a world of difference I was in a mk3 VR with a LSD the other day and my god in the rain where I thought it was going to spin out it just freaked me out I think I will do it eventually such a massive difference!

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

since when is his golf 300kw? last i heard it was just over 200.

Aha ... bit behind the times, Mischa ... lotta work gone in since then. Actually ... lets get it straight ... it's currently over 300 HP ... not KW. (Which, by my calculations ... is a bit over 225KW.)

It now has the APR 300kw (400hp) kit on it. Dyno'd at 230kw atw a month or so ago. I might have overstated slightly, 230kw translates to around 290kw at the flywheel.

[DaveMack]

Yeah ... my apologies ... I was also talking ATW figures ... should have made that clear.

atw is all that matters

but yeah i agree theres never enough power. and when it gets ridiculous just bung on drag slicks and you've got unlimited traction

[Grant]

how much power can the polo engine take before needing its internals upgraded?
