Larry's 9N3 Polo GTI (Warning Large Pics)

Hey bud, Thanks for the nice comments.
Nope never used octane booster.
it was probibly around 28 29 deg on the day. Other PGTI results were as follows:

Stage 1 REVO with some NF Ultra octane booster - 178hp and 285nm
Stage 2 REVO with Down Pipe, full exhaust and intake - 186hp 296nm
Stage 2 Unitronic with down pipe, full exhaust, intake, Seat Sport Front Mount Cooler - 195hp 343nm

and I'm pretty sure they were all running octane boosters. I'm happy with my result though as it seems this dyno was a bit stingey.

My previous dyno on Stage 1 Revo with the DP and pd160 was 180hp and 286nm, but that was at night with cooler outside temps.
I'll have a look at the peak boost when I get a chance, I'll also be doing the wheel arch liner mod this weekend if all goes according to plan....

Larry - figures are pretty reasonable. Especially at that temperature I think.

Don't bother with arch liner - I have seen a few articles / reviews and it actually doesn't increase the airflow through the side mounted intercooler. I bought everything and didn't end up fitting it. I even painted the vents...

Also with REVO - check what settings you have on. There is 'timing' / 'boost' / 'fuel'. Fuel is usually set at 9, and it will adapt itself. I think my boost is 7 or 8 (higher the number, higher the boost) / timing is at 7.

It has been road tuned with REVO dealer here. Needs to do another one as I also have Forge TIP.

Seat front mount cooler sounds neat, for me I am saving for possible next car. No more upgrades...

I will be really disappointed with REVO 2 tune if next dyno result figure isn't great - because I had 15% fuel consumption hit with REVO 2.

Oh for sure dude, fuel consumption went up QUITE alot. My settings where B7 T3 F5....The fueling is locked on 5, and my car already pulls a bit of timing on T3.....so Maybe Octane booster is needed.

Must admit I was hoping for close to 200hp....but anyway......

How do the A-Drives handle that power? I would've thought S-Drives minimum?

The Revo 1 polo is me, with the octane booster I ran, I should have been on 102 octane almost and set on B7 T5 with 0 timing pull but we are at 1600m above sea level which is to our downfall
