omg, I had no idea this was the case. So disappointing. Whats the main differences between the polo and golf 2.0L engines? Completely different internals?Pity it is not simply a detuned Golf GTI engine
Anyone had experience with this MST mob ? A CAI would be great, but they are still pretty thin on the ground. This is the first one I have seen.

From Wiki:
The Mk6 Polo GTI was launched in 2017.[33] It features a slightly detuned version of the 2.0 litre turbocharged engine from the Mk7 Golf GTI. It produced 197 bhp and was capable of getting to 60 mph in under 6.7 seconds. It was launched with only 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission available.
i know Wiki isn’t always correct but hopefully this time it is.
My brother bought one of these (MST intake for Polo GTI 2.0T) and also the turbo muffler delete kit (which is a brand new product also) and it arrived today. I'll give him a hand to install it over the next few days and will report back with feedback and photos if anyone is interested.

2018 Polo GTI - CAI, TMD, ECU and DSG retune, and a bit of bling.
Well i can tell you it is a very nicely made airbox with good quality silicone pipes, and the airbox fits perfectly. The turbo muffler delete is also nicely made and fitted perfectly too.
You can choose to run the airbox with or without the lid if you want some extra noise, but without the lid it will let suck some hot air in.
There is definitely some nice induction and turbo noise with the new setup. I have a few pics i will upload shortly.

That’s great Lucas, thanks so much for sharing. Did the install require any cutting or drilling, or it was a straight bolt-in with the factory mounting points ?

Just wondering what you did with the hose leading into the stock airbox? Does the aftermarket intake have a place for it, or did you just plug the hose? Apologies if my explanation makes no sense, I’ll take a photo of the hose I’m talking about if that helps haha
