    My Tdi has 16's and they absolutely transformed the car in terms of handling.

    Word on the street has it that dpchips work very well in the diesel Polo: www.dpchip.com.au

    adding to that APR also does a chip for the diesel that brings it up to something like 100kw's and 320nm of torque!

    ok, that sounds good as well,

    are the 'chips' tunable??

    for eg if you have them installed then change your exhaust or turbo, can another map be loaded??

    do you know the rough price of a new unit?? installed or just supplied?

    Ive had my dp chip fitted for about 6 months now and a remus muffler.U have ten settings which u can change with either a small screw driver or via your pc.I set mine anywhere from 1 to 5.Anything above that and the thing wants to take off.And on the higher settings the cruise control has alot of trouble keeping the right speed.One the no.1 setting u can pull away from a standard 6 cylinder ford ute.And u get better fuel economy with the lower settings.The best ive got so far is 4.7 litres per hundred ks

    Setting 0 is stock, and setting 1 is only a tiny bit above that you know. If I were you, I'd consider bumping it more towards 5, otherwise it's not really very good value for money imo
