Im looking at adding a downpipe and a stage 2 tune to get 172kw atw with 303nm of torque atw.

I'm just explaining the results not recommending the option.
In saying that, this is a $950 option + if you need warranty the ECU is clean.
Half the tune for 1/2 the price = another option.

I won't be touching a DSG or ECU tune until I know the DSG won't grenade!

Oh, ok understand now.

As for the DSG box, I doubt it will ever be able to take more than the factory power.

Because of the DSG and warranty I have opted for a piggy back. In fact I have 'detuned' (through its PC interface) the piggyback to the developers more modest recommended boost and fuel trim settings because as quoted by the tester in South Africa and he is talking about the 2015 Polo GTI DSG "The majority of users including us have had concerns in regard to the strength of the transmission. The torque can be increased by quite a bit but until we know for certain that its going to last in that spec we keeping things relatively conservative. We do know flashed cars that are running very high torque levels and are keeping our ears open to see how long they going to last."

Over $1000 cheaper than the APR tune, I'm very happy with it and there is absolutely no way it leaves any logs or anything else in the ecu if something does go wrong. Most importantly it gives the drivechain/DSG all the extra power it is probably capable of handling.

Which piggy back did you buy? brand, price etc. - Thanks

It's a Berger Motorsports (BMS) JB1
JB VW Performance Tuner - BurgerTuning.com
As you can see it's still under development for the 2015 Polo GTI, the 4 'plugs' are same as for the Golf GTI platform including the R.
$379 only but that is US $ and because of our pathetic AU $ it was just under $690 AU delivered (express) but that was with the optional interface cable which is needed because the default settings need to be changed.

You can do a lot of reading, as I did before purchase, here but there is nothing on the Polo of course because it's a US based Golf forum -
BMS JB Stage 1 Released - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum

George is the person to contact, he is very helpful, before and after purchase. He sent me a dyno result on a Polo GTI but the car has a downpipe fitted. I think just over 190kW at flywheel but that would be at settings that are not recommended for the DSG. PM me with your email if you want a copy.

I'm testing it further with before and after acceleration runs using a Gtech Pro and yes there are early indications of some significant improvements.

I have received no freebies etc from BMS and my opinions are impartial.

Cheers DAL344, we are thinking alike.

Be interested in what tuning box you had tested on your car and not sure if you still have it fitted? You can message me if you prefer.

Failed, but only just, hoped to get to 6.0 or less. Probably my poor driving, way too much wheelspin and forgot to let the front tyres down a bit. 2 tries only, happy with the improvement.

As I have stated before the JB1 is set to the modest recommended fuel and boost trim levels to help preserve the DSG/clutches. I rarely do WOT and/or go over 4,000rpm so I might play around with the boost settings in map 6 (for those familiar with the JB1) to get some extra torque in the lower rev range.

So I took my 6R GTI to the drags for the first time last night here in Perth. Temperature wise it definitely wasn't the smartest idea, as Perth's in the middle of a mini heatwave at the moment, and so track-side temperatures even at night were around 38 degrees. We had a VW club night though so was a third the price of normal entry.

Anyway, I done some quick searching and couldn't find much info in terms of other people's times so thought it would be great to have a bit of a registry setup for members new & old as well as well it showing up for Google searches etc. Probably worth mentioning time, temperature/conditions and Model/Engine Type as we now share this board with the 6C cars.

We can maybe request people verify their times with a photo of the printout sheet? (if so I'll edit my post to attach mine).
I'll get things started!

2013 Polo 6R GTI
Track Temp: 37.8 degrees
Time: 13.827 seconds

Is the car stock?

LOL, no. (See my signature)

There was another Polo GTI 6R which was stock as a rock and getting 15.2's.
