    Dont know yet, I am only running a standard K04 tune.

    This week, taken car out of show mode, semi slicks on and changed intake to GIAC spec, which is a S3/TT225 Maf and a big ass HKS mushroom (well i call it that) filter.
    Have to wait for the MAF to adapt, then some logging will be done and sent to GIAC so they can start playing with my tune

    My car does have an LSD so traction is pretty good other than in 1st gear. The car won't spin the wheels in 2nd in the dry like yours does but not sure if that's due to the LSD or if you're just making more power (or both).

    Street drivability isn't an issue - I'm keeping the Polo as a track car so my future mods will be geared to that environment, where low-end power can suffer if it means a stronger top end.

    Nice, can you do a build thread or do you have any info on your car.
    What do you have in terms of suspension setup ?

    No way, that's awesome! Are you getting a piping kit made for the diesel?
