Don't think it's the super charger because I get it and I have a 77TSI (turbo only)

If you have a tsi then you have a turbo, super, injected car

Yeah, had this a few time too. It's like the supercharger has forgotten to engage and then it does and it's like you've floored it - but you haven't!

That's been my thoughts for a while. No supercharger input. Once the revs claw their way to 1500 or so, the turbo spools and you get a surge in power. I don't know how supercharges work though....so how do they operate? What's the start/stop rpm levels for the supercharger on the polo??

Haha lol 77KW Polo TSI you make me laugh. I hope you realise the TSI stands for Turbocharged, Stratified Injection. So in other words forced induction direct injection. There is NO supercharger on the 77tsi ONLY a turbo located at the front of the engine where the exhaust and air intake meet.

Only on the Polo GTI and Golf 118tsi been the only examples of twin charge (super and turbo) engines and this can be seen by the air intake that follows around the back through the turbo and superchargers.

Sorry to disappoint you but it had to be said xD.

Also the turbo on the polo 77TSI starts to spool at 1500rpm (read the tech specs). The GTI having a supercharger and thus the forced induction is fed by the crankshaft means it spools sooner, meaning at 1200rpm or 1300rpm it is delivering peek boost. The advantages of a supercharger and what makes it so quick off the line!

I'm sorry but I had to giggle when I read this. Only the GTI has the supercharger...not the TSI.

NO supercharger because THERE ISNT ONE ON A POLO 77TSI.

Only the GOLF has the twincharger motor AFAIK and the GTI

You must have been reading an old Top Gear as in the Car price Guide they used to list the Polo as having a twincharged motor till I hassled them enough to change Next will be their listing of a Jetta as a Golf with a boot, which it isnt any more.

Lol it still is. Drives and feels just like one anyways Just looks a little different

Each to his own I guess. I have driven my mate's Golf mk VI 118tsi and test driven a 118tsi Jetta, bugger all difference really. Jetta is a little slower and not as chuckable, but very similar.

But we digress, this is a Polo thread
