Polo GTI 2.0l tuning

**Sharkie** · 13-02-2019, 02:54 PM

Not that I am now going to buy a new GTI, but in looking at bits for my new R I came across this CAI for the new Polo GTI ... 2018 VW Golf Mk6 POLO GTI 2.0T Cold Air Intake Syst

I bought a MST CAI for our Golf TSI and its pretty good, so this would be worth a look. Claimed 6kw/15NM in it

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.

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.

I have a MST CAI on the 110TSI Golf and have other bits on my Golf R. Turbo muffler delete for the R from MST arrived yesterday and will go on this weekend. All their parts so far has been of exceptional quality.

Pity it is not simply a detuned Golf GTI engine

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?

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.

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 ?

Everything bolts straight up to the factory mounting locations, no need to drill or cut anything.
