Guy please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the APR stage 3 upgrade use a Garrett GT28 turbo? Would this then mean that if you fitted one of these you could have a modified version of this software installed to go with the other mods you have (if not the same mods included in the stage 3 kit)?

Sorry I wasn't 100% clear, I meant if you got one of these manifolds and fitted a GT28 (as I would look at doing cause i have one in my garage) could you just get a modified version of the APR stage 3 software to compensate for the BIGGER turbo?

It is now making over 170kw up from the std 110kw and torque is approaching 370NM and whilst having power figures to be happy with has become tedious to drive smoothly.

Polo setup not meant for ultimate power. Bigger and better tyres might have helped but I can't be bothered to try and want to move on.

I have basically the same setup as you... Mine doesnt wheelspin all over the place.. YEs from strading start but not rolling start in second gear?

Ive got decent tyres on it..

The APR stage 3 kit has a heap more parts than just the turbo. The software tuning is so precise & matched to the hardware - I doubt you would get good results (or even safety of your engine components) by mixing & matching parts unfortunately.

Things like 5 bar MAP sensor, 5 bar FPR, Bosch motorsport injectors, Maf housing with flow straightener etc etc etc.

No use having a big turbo if you can not supply fuel & air at the required levels!
