    Engine chip question

    Hello,

    I stumbled upon this clip on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9427V7eSWGQ with a chip from APR or Oettinger would this be a fair representation of how the vehicle would accerlate?

    Secondly what are memebers experience with the stock clutch? t it is starting to slip and a replacement is in order? or the factory clutch is sufficent under these new power levels?

    Cheers,

    Well, imo a chipped car will accelerate faster/more brutally than that, or that guy diddnt have his foot down all the way, you will get wheelspin from a clean launch at about 4500rpm with the apr. This could also have to with the fact that the polo cup has a fair bit less torque than the oettinger/apr chipped polos making maintianing traction easier.

    As far is the stock clutch is concerned, it can be hard to avoid slip on a rapid launch, a bit more grip there qouldnt go astray, however mine still seems fine.

    That Car was a Polo GTI Cup. SO it has 125kw from memory. Chipped cars have around 150kw. Not sure on the torque figures though.
