For those of you with the 1.8T conversion on the polo... who are you insured with and how much do they charge?
Toying with the idea of doing something similar, but if the insurance is going to be silly, there is no point!

if you are in a C band or so it really does make a huge difference

Hmmm... thats quite interesting...
What effect has it had on the road tax band? I think the 1.6 engine is about £175/year.... is the turbo more expensive?
Iv got a couple of technical questions.... you mind if I pm you with a few?
