What did you do to your Polo today?

I dropped my polo off for gearbox replacement and picked up 2000 model passat v6 as a loan car. Will be nice to get my polo back, 4 days they reckon!

Remember ... When driving - no girl-watching.
When not driving - girl-watching allowed. :biggrin:

Watched the guy across the road wash his Polo while I staired and cleaned the GTI.

installed my BMC panel filter and SEAT intake tonight....in the dark :rolleyes:. managed to do it all in about 15 mins, very easy install. first impressions:

- seems like torque has increased slightly
- a lot smoother pull through the rev range
- boost comes on earlier
- boost holds better past 5,000rpm
- turbo whistle definitely louder
- exhaust note a little louder
- BOV twice as loud!

definitely worth the $250, would recommend to anyone.

Cheers,
Rhys

haha, sorry Lora. someone was going to do it to you sooner or later! :biggrin:

lowering springs
dogbone insert
and rear sway bar on today :biggrin:

Very nice...car sits a little better, less roll through corners and no kick back on shifting quiet happy everything feels alot stiffer... hopefully a mountain run on the weekend to really test it out.

New exhaust! Impressive! I don’t expect that! The sensation is like having the car chipped for the first time!

3”downpipe to the catalyst, 2,5” from the catalyst to the rear.

The car deserves other dyno run! Boost reaching 1,6bar and falling to 0,8bar.

What I will do to my Polo next month!
Meet my new turbo!
It is a k04-25 CHRA, mounted in a k04-01 compressor and turbine housings.
The compressor housing had to be machined to fit the bigger compressor.
I hope it works! It came from US, if someone want more information please mp me!
