2008 VW Polo TDi Results

Digging up an old thread. Been busy with work and life so haven't had much chance to toy with the Polo and in November/December the gearbox decided to stop playing ball.

JMAC is just in the process of fitting the new box and ECS Stage 1 Clutch and Flywheel and dog bone mount and going to try a DeCat (easy enough to refit the Cat if there are any issues) and there have been quite a few good reports from Europe.

Going to try some weight reduction as well and see how far I can get into the 15's.

It's up to 125,000km so when it comes back from JMAC I am going to give it a good service as its been sitting for a couple of months, clean out the intake, intercooler etc and see how we go.

Interesting read, I look forward to seeing what else you have in store.

Thanks Metsu,

Have a couple of ideas for when the turbo goes bang, Hopefully should produce a bit more power

Picked up a set of GTI 9N3 Rims, Will kill the tyres on them and fit up a set of Semi Slicks.

Eh not a huge amount to report, did the DeCat - it made a huge difference, I used to pull on my gf's magna in 1st and 2nd and she would pull back in third. I can now pull on her in 3rd as well.

At the present I am just doing some planning. Purchased a 312mm TT Brake Upgarde. I am heading to the UK in July and at that time I hope to buy a new work vehicle. When i come back from the UK I hope to be bringing with me a VNT 17/22, PD150 injectors with Bosio race nozzles and a FMIC.

Fingers crossed atleast.

It was, a certain NSW company didn't get my parts up here in time for me to attend (waited a month for the parts) then when they did finally turn up they were broken.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Bummer!

You're telling me, I was pissed off.

Went back out to the drags last night.

Since last time the car is now about 60kg - 80kg lighter and has the PD160 intake and the Cat out. It now runs a 15.8 @ 85mph so another .3 tenths off but the MPH was up 7mph which I was pretty happy with.
