    MY15/16 GTi Mods

    Soo..

    More for the manual owners..

    What aftermarket parts are available that are specific for the updated 1.8L Polo GTi's ? (Exhausts ect)

    Coming from the Fiesta ST there were a few mods that I did and were available and not limited to Mountune etc.

    Would be interesting to see how much above 320nm we could get out of the engine but perhaps it wouldn't be viable due to not LSD and tyre spin.

    I noticed Supersprint updated the front half of the exhaust system from the old 1.4 variant but a full system would require a tune which I doubt we have any tuners doing them at the moment locally.

    Wheels look good on the SS ^^

    APR ECU Upgrades

    APR’s ECU upgrades are one of the best horsepower-per-dollar modifications for the new 1.8T engine. The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade is designed to work without requiring other changes to the vehicle’s hardware. With the ECU Upgrade alone,APR’s Calibration Experts measured higher peak figures of 187kw and 404nm of torque and with 98 octane fuel. Large gains were seen throughout the power band, including an additional 131nm of torque and 60kw.

    APR Stage II ECU Upgrade is designed to work with APR’s upcoming Exhaust Downpipe. When combined with APR’s Intake System, peak power and torque figures grew further to 190kw and 412nm of torque. While peak power did not increase by much, the additional hardware allowed the turbo to spool faster and power carried better towards redline.The increase in power directly translates to an exceptionally quicker vehicle.

    Using advanced GPS measuring devices, APR’s engineers conducted several acceleration tests. During the 0-200km/h sprint, the APR Stage I equipped vehicle finished 22.048 seconds sooner than stock and the APRStage II equipped vehicle was an additional 3.112 seconds earlier!

    Hi guys, looking for a little help/opinions. So my 2015 GTI is @4x4 status and I'd like to bring it down a touch, I still have my H&Rs (25/40mm) which had a front axle load of UP TO 930kg from my previous polo. My question is, will it be ok to fit these or will I need the other set with a front axle load weight of FROM 930kg? Anyone had any damage with lowering springs and stock shocks? Thanks
