Polo TDI recall - not in Oz

[decat]

I seem to have a KKK on a standard BLT 130PD engine, you guys have other turbos (standard?)

[Buller_Scott]

So Ive heard some of the Polo TDis have had their turbos replaced with a new one, same K03.
Other just a re map, same power out 96kw as per dyno readings but some guys reported that 1st gear is not as strong as it was, it picks up at higher revs and second and third is stronger.

hey mate, the K03 is on the polo gti, not the tdi.

as for just remap- ive got seat intake and remap (for engine mods) and 96kw is an easy gain with just remap. i've yet to dyno, but going by the claims made on the website of the tuning company i chose, its a wee bit more.

as for first gear, its over very quickly (because its so short) and with good rubber, if you're not careful, your tyres will spin and you'll 'lose'. second is brilliant, just brilliant- 35kmh-75kmh, right through to 4000rpm, is over quite quickly. third is fun too, and then the fun is over as you're at the speed limit.

as for your turbo, decat- i've read that information elsewhere too.

i have read that the vnt15 (a term that is very loosley used) is a kkk kp39 in some cars, and a gt1749 in others.

my basis for thinking that the vnt15 in the polo is a gt1749, is that many folks in the states with mk4's have kkk kp39's and say that the upper limit for the turbo, when remapped, would be around the 130-140hp mark. injectors will add more. these guys say that gt1749's (other vnt15) are stronger than kp39's and can support more hp.

but then, there seem to be a few euro and uk guys with polo tdi's who, with just remap, can make 150+ hp on stock turbo. one guy claims to make 165hp and 390nm from just remap, seat intake, and k&n filter.

hey josh, i'll try to find the one thread where a guy got all that from one remap- in the uk, i think. but some interesting snippets for the mean time:

''I'd try and avoid the KKK ones if possible...they're fitted to Skoda Fabia VRS over here, and it's quite common for their owners to replace them with the equivalent Garrett unit as the KKK ones are erm...somewhat unreliable (apparently...their words, not mine). I believe even with a new turbo, you wouldn't get much past 170 BHP with stock injectors mate With the mods you have, (FMIC, exhaust, intake) I'd seriously consider getting a second-hand set of either PD130 or PD150 (same part no.) injectors, and you should be good for 195ish BHP. The stock PD100 injectors can only fuel till around 165ish BHP I think.''

hmmmmmm. despite what i said in the 'how would you spend 90 million' thread, im starting to think small fmic, pd injectors from gt tdi, exhaust, and clutch, and that'd see me happy as a pig in poop.

the problem with those mods is finding a tuning company who will work with you to custom tune your car to get the best out of it.

I really want to do my exhaust (2.5") and FMIC with my current map and see how it goes.

stage 2 for me will be GT17b , injectors and custom tune that should see my power rise quite nicely

I'd be more than happy with GT TDI levels of output in my Polo, 400nm+ is my long term aim

[Buller_Scott]

yeah, no one locally anyway....

i'd have to get in contact with chippeduk as additional custom maps are only 100 pounds.... see what they can come up with.

either that, or have those mods as supporting mods, slightly increase the fuelling with the new injectors (hopefully offset by the exhaust and ic), and be done with it.

I dont think I'd be happy with having the potential just sitting there not doing anything. I'd have to get a custom tune. I'm sure someone will do it, maybe GIAC?

yeah i know that euroclass garage in melb does a GIAC tune- depends, though. are they the tuners themselves, or do they do the whole 'get in contact with the map writers overseas' like i understand revo and apr are?

personally, if i cant get it done on a rolling road dyno with someone who knows their ish when it comes to tdi's, i'd prefer just to tell chipped uk about my mods (diameter and nature of exhaust, volume/dimensions of intercooler, part number/flow rate of injectors) and have them re-write a map based on that.

what you said there is exactly what GIAC/APR/REVO would problably do. "i'd prefer just to tell chipped uk about my mods (diameter and nature of exhaust, volume/dimensions of intercooler, part number/flow rate of injectors) and have them re-write a map based on that."

I really dont think there is ANYONE is Aus who has any tuning experience with VW TDI's, so even if its a long shot, I'd still prefer a reputable tuning company to send all the info overseas to do my map. Because I know that they would have at least some idea of tuning TDI's and the fact they would keep tweaking my car until they got the tune right!

the precise reason i'd go with jabbasport, chippeduk, or superchips- they're supposed to be in the know with tdi's (and MANY of the cars listed on chippeduk's site are tdi's anyway).

p.s. josh- small world- i know a mate of yours from school- matt (drives a green falcon). he showed me your pog going down a stair. SUCH a euro look- good pic. (pretty sure its on the kmac springs).
