Front mount options?

Great info Instigator! And I'm interested to see if anyone in OZ has a go with the Seat Intercooler. Might be interested

VWthunder did you get the 3" maf and the TIP as part of your package?

Cheers.

I bought a nice after market hand made Maf housing, off ebay lol, guy in the states makes them, and yes I got a Black TIP, which is different to the polo one. I had to cut the new TIP up and also cut up my forge one, so it ends up being 3/4 Forge and 1/4 Frankenturbo TIP

Ok, thanks for that! Do you have a link for the ebay dude?

Cheers!

Hey noone!
ive talked to one of my mechanic mates, and there into the drag scene and i got them to search my car for what will be good and they said dump pipe wouldnet really do anything for my car, how come?? or is this just bad advise??

Exhaust was my 2nd favourite mod after the tune. More torquey and much more noisy.

MAF 3" HOUSING MK3 VW CORRADO JETTA GOLF PASSAT AUDI | eBay

Nice one, thanks mate!

Instigator, I don't suppose you've come across ready made TIP to handle the 3" MAF housing that is a direct fit for the Polo in your travels??

Thanks!

got a full milltek exhaust, 2.5" all the way, more than enough, you need more if you go +300Hp.
after a remap you notice you can get more Hp from it.
all upgrades don't make that much diffrence on stock engine, once mapped it's another story.

things that are restrictive on a Polo GTI:

intake pipe: don't make much diffrence but it will be better (use a seat one if you still have stock airbox)

Downpipe & CAT: every catalysator is restrictive (get a sportcat or none at all)

Turbo intake pipe: stock one has a 90° turn where it's going to the turbo, at this turn it's reduced in size (get a Forge one)

Throtlle body pipe: on LHD cars VW installed a "sound pipe", pretty much useless wich mess up the flow. (Forge needed)

Intercooler: stock one is to small and sits in a bad place, pretty much anything is better (i prefer seat sport with Forge piping)

software: get it mapped because stock a polo makes only 0.6bar at his best (best = custom tune)

fuell pressure regulator: when you do all the above and get it mapped you will need a 4bar one, stock one can't give enough (TT225 & Cupra R)

if you want i can post pictures of all the restrictive things, when i changed them i took those pictures.
odd to see the stock Turbo TIP next to one from Forge, or dowpipe next to milltek one, clearly see diffrence in size in all the things.

@VWindahouse: no, i diddn't search after this because i still have the standard MAF.
but i do believe the TIP from Frankenturbo is made to fit 3" maf.
if you want i can ask my mate, he has 3" maf so maybe he knows brands that have a TIP that will fit.

if i may ask, why are you getting 3" maf?
planning Big Turbo upgrade:p

Yeah unfortunately vwthunder said the TIP he got from Franken is not a direct fit and he ended up having to cut it up along with the forge tip to franken up his own!

And to answer your question about the bigger turbo I must admit after reading all your real world info is mighty tempting mate! Keep it coming.

[instigator]

hahaha, nice going mate, currious te see what turbo you are planning to run.
any info you need, i'll try and help as much as i can
