honestly, hp not that vital
better figure to look for is higher torque and it's availability

if u sat in a 320nm or more torque car, u'll feel a lot of pull

regular car only below 200nm....

320nm is 60% more powerful

something like a 400nm TDCI focus?

after using racechip pro, my polo went from stock 105ps 175nm to 109ps 204nm (on wheel, dyno)
assuming 10% power loss on wheel, guestimate figures on crank is around 121ps 226nm

the torque diff is very noticeable and there's a slight kick on gear change around 3k-4k rpm range, max torque at 2500rpm!

improved torque figures well below dsg7 dq200 250nm limit

Yup 3k for 40hp n 80nm is superb deal if u ask me (stage1)
For na u need to do so much n pay more n gain less than that
Last time dynoed my stage1 gti, 207whp and 325nm only
If u look at hp ull say not much. But my engine is much more crazier after the remap.
Even stock mk6 giving out 200whp and 270nm

Driven a stage 3 before ? Very few i know. Mk6 never heard stage 3 yet

according to owners i chatted with.
i'm not a vw owner.

Seriously bro. Once in a while i drive polo sports
From dead stop i feel its faster than my stage 1.
Wonder whats the dyno number for stock polo tsi

mk5 is using EA113 cast iron engine block
while mk6 is EA888 aluminium engine block

more mod potential for ea113, it can handle more pressure than ea888
if i not wrong tts, s3, golf r & rocco r are using ea113 with upgraded/forged internal parts

well polo is about 1.1 tonne, it's about 300kg less than golf/rocco/beetle
better power to weight i guess

key diff for polo is the suspension, it's not using multi link rear like the rest

have any sifu know any1 selling VW Dune Buggy car?

no wonder.
alu is great for weight reduction though

i always thought they were modded from old beetles not an outright punchable car

i have a friend who already upgraded his mk6 to stage 3 since last year i think.
He's the only one in terengganu that i know who's on stage 3 & full abt bodykit.
But my cousin is gona upgrade his mk6 to stage 3 too in next month maybe.
Not sure if he ever joined vw tt with u guys before coz he's been driving his gti since 2010 n quite active with vw audi n porsche event too. That's his car in my dp, the white gti with caractere bodykit. Plate number is BLExxxx

one thing about uprating engine performance output,
higher torque churning out from the engine can potentially kill your gearbox in the long run

- wet 6 speed dsg (DQ250) on 2.0 TSI engines are rated up to 350nm
passat cc r line 3.6 v6 engine is not exceeding this manufacturer limit

- dry 7 speed dsg (DQ200) on TSI engine below 2.0 are rated up to 250nm
polo gti & passat 1.8tsi is on 250nm

i mean surely those engine can go pass this torque limit, but they want the DSG to last in the long run

VW group does have better dsg box for higher torque limit (550nm)
- DQ500 (transverse engine, Audi TT RS 450nm)
- DL501 (longitudinal engine, Audi S4 440nm)

Question:

Any of u guys open your hood for polo and found plastic bags shoved on the left and right corner.. I only noticed yesterday. If viewing from front of the car, on the left side, it is just beside the cool-en fluid box. Another way of locating it is just behind the head lamps to the side. Any idea why they put the plastic there? I didn't remove it because afraid it has some use...

I have never seen plastic bags in the bonnet before, beercans, yes but not plastic bag. Can you snap a picture of it? It shouldn't be there unless when you were driving and your car accidentally "ate" them

agree. they shouldnt be any kind of plastics in there. probably terbang there during driving. pics will help

Added on September 21, 2012, 2:30 pmmore potential hmm. but why mk6 output is considerably more?
no idea about polo's rear suspension. multilink is lighter?
yes lighter cars will do better off the line.

Mk6 with stage 3. never heard any. wow t'ganu has some serious GTIs there. TS77 nickname is that him ?

very nice car in the avatar.

anyways has whatsapp'ed u yesterday. got the msg ?

But it is not like the normal plastic bag.. Its transparent and carefully shoved in the sides..

So weird.. Later I snap pic.

You should ask for a ride from either exotic mod's green gti or APR boss, Karl's stage 4 gti.
He's beaten a few carrera 4S before when on stage 3 and that was almost 2 years ago. Wonder how the stage 4 feels like now

daym. how many hp? 350? both are mk 6 ?

saw that green mk6 at Exmods before.

wonder how long will their gb last.

I think it's somewhere around 400hp. Can't remember since its quite long alrd.
Yeah both mk6 of course

Ok here are some photos I just took.
