Chipped the car

[Gti Dave]

Yeah I kinda felt the same when i first had the 6 hour trial. But then again, only drove for a total of an hour during the trial and then got the full program loaded. Wasn't until a longer drive and BMC air filter with SEAT intake installed did I really feel the difference.

After all the mods I've now done on my pogo, its definately a beast to drive. Can now wheelspin in 3rd gear if not careful.

Wheelspin in third really? I swear some people must have bad tyres.

No but seriously, wheelspin in third? Mine grips up even in second!

Wheelspin in third gear when I'm on the move (not from stationary of course otherwise it would be insane) LOL. Tyres are the Continental ones that came with the car.

do you mean chirping from 2nd to 3rd or 80kmp/h burnouts?

The important thing to note here is that with Conti's .... AND .... a DP and FMIC, actual wheelspin in 3rd is quite possible. Remember that there is an easy 20kw atw more than just a chipped GTI and more than 40kw atw than a stock GTI.

stock = about 88kw atw
chipped = about 122kw atw
chipped + DP = about 132kw atw
chipped + FMIC = about 130kw atw
chipped + DP + FMIC = about 140kw atw
(these are Brisbane figures when we had 6 Polos on the same dyno on the same day)

I can confirm u do get a little bit of wheelspin if u dump theclutch going from 2nd to 3rd. Havent had a chance to look at the boost gauge for peak boost though, got a mechanical unit and too busy hanging on to dear life

Cost: 1195 incl controller and stock map as per the website

i know this is a bit off topic but did people lose a bit of boost after fitting the fmic?? after my chip and bmc filter the car spiked to 20 psi and settled around 16psi. now after the fmic it spikes to 17psi and settles aroun 14-15psi

which fmic did you get?

Not chirping, actual wheelspinning where the wheels are desperately seeking traction.
