The JBS version is more expensive than the ATP, but Gav has indicated group buy pricing might be more reasonable.

Lets not ruin this lovely build thread, I've started one for this manifold discussion here

oh the drive, I still have quiet moments to myself. I couldn't think of a better compliment than to say it was like the factory car, just with so much more depth to its ability. Linear acceleration, stops and steers simply better.

I agree with sean

My impression of the red devil (after turning up in my stock polo GTI) is that it felt stock when driven gently. Only when you prod it a bit more do you realise how much more it has to give.

Ha ha thanks lads!! I just hope the Dyno figures can do all of Jimmy's handy work justice

Well the results are in! Big thanks to Jimmy for organising a great dyno day which featured heaps of tuned Polo's from all different tuning companies.

All in all I am more than happy with the results. Please keep in mind it was a fairly warm day in Brisbane so this data is only really good for two reasons.

1. Comparison from my last Dyno when the Devil had only just had Phase II loaded and had NOT had any timing adjusted. (since then I have had the timing adjusted and added the HPC coated exhaust manifold and ECS clutch with the light weight FW)

These changes alone netted me 26.4 HP at the wheels more!

2. Having some friendly competition with the fellow Watercoolers with Polo's tuned from either the same or different tuning companies.

This is where it gets fun!!

So my best run saw 176 HP ATW and 362 Nm. I will post the charts Monday when I can get to the scanner at work.

As for the competition, well I had the 2 lads with KO4's and APR tunes in my sights to see if my mere KO3s could knock them off their perch! And I tell you I came soooo bloody close.

Kenny with his red polo with from memory had a KO4, DP, Forge FMIC and his new clutch and LWFW piped my by 1 or 2 HP. And Eddy in the emaculate blue polo with the same mods as Kenny but with a full turbo back APR exhaust system and APR FMIC saw him take the Polo honors with a huge 186 HP! If I have any facts incorrect lads please post up.

Considering the other phase I Polo's saw between 140 - 152 HP I am more than happy with my results with phase II seeing between 20 - 30 more HP ATW.

Will I try to chase down Eddie and Kenny's great results with only a insignificant little KO3s in the future..................... Watch this space.

P.S. Gavin still thinks we can do some more fine tuning now the latest mods are in!
