Offer to Brisbane Polo GTI owners

[VW GTI]

depending on the date and whether or not i will be back from o/s, i could be both the 'just chipped' and stocko cos i just have the APR ECU (obviously which can be switched off).

You better take that pesky BOV out too

PESKY.....pfft

yeah i could do it on the day, i have the stocko in the boot....only takes about 10 mins to change over.

since there's going to be some testing of Polos with different levels of mods, I'm curious what ppl think of the following case studies -

- Timbo's Polo has hit 136 atw on two different dynos, with just an ECU flash and 3" dp. Any explanations for this??, eg higher psi.

- While I never dynoed mine with just the APR flash alone, my first dyno was just flash/CDA, and only got 120 atw. Then with FMIC (133.5) and then exhaust (145). Would it be fair to say that, rather than these mods 'adding' 12+ kw atw each, they were more the result of a cumulative effect, ie 133.5 not possible without the CDA etc.

I'm hoping this can lead to some interesting discussion about why some Polo GTI power outputs diverge considerably.

I'd say the 120kw atw is lower than you'd expect (Rhys got 122kw atw with just the flash).

Then the others may have been higher than expected, making them look really good.

no my point is that some mods on their own don't do much, eg CDA. But a combination of mods begin to really free up power. This test could help determine which mods are the best way to achieve that (and in what order).

i see what you're getting at. it seems as though the SEAT intake also has a very minimal affect (as per many conversations on here) but maybe coupled with another mod/s that requires higher air flow it could be really effective in comparison to the stocko intake.....in turn showing higher hp/kw readings on the dyno. definitely a good point that needs some answering.

Cheers,

Dont want to start anything with this, but i think that has been proved that the SEAT intake does have an affect on stock car (awestonvp did the testing), although given supporting mods it will probably be even better.

Any idea of a date yet ?

[Guy_H]

At this stage it looks like August 9th - hows that sound?

I only plan about 2 days in advance, so I'm free
