Gt28rs

[xtturbo]

Hey Guys,

Have just bought a White Polo GTI so of course i've been busily researching modifications! One thing I've wondered is howcome no one seems to mention ATPs GT28RS kit:

its considerably cheaper than other options and looks to be the simplest too!

Thoughts?

Might be due to a polo GTI with a Ko4 and a few mods struggles to get traction let alone a gt28rs.
Its not just the price of the turbo upgrade its upgrading everything eles suspension, brakes, drivetrain, LSD, FMIC, exhaust, intake.
This would all be needed to gain the most from the turbo.
Does this kit include softwear, injectors, FPR?
The price is cheap in US dollars and once you pay import duty and frieght would be getting up there in price.
The KO4 is a much simpler step not as many uprated componets required.
Plus there is strong support in Aus for companies like APR REVO and GIAC.
My thoughts right or wrong cheers Rob.

I agree completly. K04 IMO represents a lot more bang for your buck.

Yeah, I've been doing a lot of reading and the K04 is easily the simplest upgrade, but lots of us sites seem to pay it out as only adding 20-40hp headroom over the K03s. You can get a K04 pretty cheap from the us though

That said, what good is a GT2X, GT28RS etc if there is no software support?

Why arn't there any tuning shops that will do custom tunes like there are for Fords, Nissans etc?

[PoloGTi]

There are a few APR does have a GT28RS tune and i am sure REVO and GIAC would have something too. But again you need to have all the support components in place.
Its big dollars no matter what you choose.
What do you want form your car?
Fast in a line, fast around a track?

I'd imagine ARP's GT28RS kit is for there stage 3 setup, which uses a custom manifold, afm etc etc, so it would only be applicable to their kit.

Line. I love engines

Lol, I just get the feeling that the K04 will still feel a bit sedate I want the whole pushed back into my seat hard thing

Probably not going to happen for a while though!

[PoloGTi]

lol yeah i know what u mean is your polo chipped?
Do this first then u will quench your thirst for a few weeks for more power.
I hope some of the guys that have been lucky enough to have been in the APR polo for a ride can tell you what its like. Kai your polo is pretty quick at the mo what the feeling like when ur hard on the gass?
