Chipped Polo GTI

[hkogti]

I have chipped my polo, but i dont get that no traction for 1st to 3rd gear that kind of thing at all...

Not as powerful as i expected...

I got 17" 205 contis, is that because of the tyres?

Waiting for APR's easter sales for a dump pipe...

What chip you got. I'm guessing APR. Put it on a dyno if your really worried it will let you know if your in the ballpark for figures.

On another note why are you wanting to loose traction. Traction is your friend.

What rims are they.

I got REVO...

I got the advanti maze r, i am still trying to squeze some time to give it a good wash and take some photos...

I want traction, but as described by other member, the polo will be so powerful after chipped and should break traction easily..

Which i dont get...

The peak boost i have got is 1.6 kpa...

does your traction control light go off at all?

I must say I get wheelspin easily.

Are you sure it's 1.6 kPa and not BAR. If it's BAR that's 23psi.

Don't believe all you read on the Internet.I had Oettinger chip,full exhaust,Seat intake,and 128kw at the wheels.
I never had any real "traction" problems unless you dumped it in 1st.
Still managed 14.4 for the 1/4 mile.
As for people with traction problems in 2nd and 3rd........riiiiight.

LOL well said Len. I can't say I loose traction in 2nd or 3rd either. In first however it will light up at 3000 rpm when full boost kicks in. But my tyres are stuffed.

With my old Toyo T1-R's i had traction issues (full wheelspin) the whole way through first and the whole way through 2nd (flooring it). They were not bald either, about 30% rubber left. They were seriously dangerous rubber. I changed them due to some nail issues . Now with my Marangoni's if i REALLY push it i will lose traction through first (but only chips into the road), no wheelspin in 2nd though, maybe a little chirpie after a quick change . through 3rd it's pretty much not possible, except when it's wet!

This is exactly what I have and otherwise I don't lose traction if not for the road (wet, bumpy etc). My tyres are gettin a bit worn now and still hold on pretty well.

Mine breaks traction in 1st as well, however, it will also do it in 2nd as well .... I've just put it down to the crap Conti's that are on it so I know not to use full throttle in 1st or 2nd unless wanting to act like a fool.
