Hey guys, anybody know how much boost the Polo GTI runs standard?

hmm i see... sounds like a lot less when its spooling though lol...
any chance of running more boost?

Absolutely, they'll run the same boost as chipped Golf4 etc, close on a BAR

nice, can you hook up a manual bleed valve or do you need a chip/tune or whatever?

is anything else needed to run more boost, eg:CAI, exhaust, injectors etc?

Don't go down that ricey manual bleed crap mate, these are properly engineered cars that run great when you have them re-flashed/chipped.

You can do all that CAI and exhaust, downpipe if you like but the turbo runs out of puff before you need bigger injectors.

You'll be looking at more money than a bleed valve but if you just shelled out 25 grand for a new Polo it doesn't make sense to fit untested 100 dollar parts on your car......
