Re: remapping
Remapping is already legal and you don't have to tell your insurers as you can't really see this modification. You would be looking at about £200 for a re-map which on a 1.4MPi engine will only give you about 5bhp maximum if your lucky! So personally i belive its a waste of time and money.

had an mpi for 2 weeks and got rid of it after hearing about how low the demand is for gettin extra power from the engine. so i stuck with the tdi!
Re: remapping
ive got a 1.4mpi and your not going to get anymore power out of it unfortunatley. Your best of spending your money on adding your touches to the car, more of a 'show' car.
If you want power your going to be looking at a GTi probs to stick with a polo.

Re: remapping
ok thnaks guys. i suppose if i were to get an extra 50 BHP it would make a difference, not much i know but still a difference. i suppose its down to whether i have the money to splash
Re: remapping
i got around 30 extra bhp on my TDI
Re: remapping
by the way where can i get it done and does it affect my engine in terms of overheating etc.?
Re: remapping
if you can get an extra 50bhp mate that will be an achievement!
what are you planning on doing then, just a re-map?
to get most from a re-map i suggest sorting an exhaust system, induction kit, etc...

Re: remapping
i got mine done from angel tuning, they come to you.. very friendly people and are professional..
Re: remapping
hmm im not looking to do an exhaust system or induction kit just purely remap
Re: remapping
if you want to get the best out of an 8v MPi polo, dont get remap on its own. go for exhaust and induction kitshahi645 wrote:hmm im not looking to do an exhaust system or induction kit just purely remap
Re: remapping
yep he is rite it is pointless doing it with out getting exhaust and induction kit u wont notice any difference mate plus dont know y u would want 2 spend £200 on a remap.. my car is 75bhp 1.4 16v i could maybe get 5-10 if i am lucky but rather spend the money on something different .... best bet is 2 go for a new gti/tdi engine or change the car up 2 u ...not worth spending the money on a mpi engine 2 make it go a little faster thats my opinionvw55raz wrote:if you want to get the best out of an 8v MPi polo, dont get remap on its own. go for exhaust and induction kitshahi645 wrote:hmm im not looking to do an exhaust system or induction kit just purely remap
Re: remapping
thanks for the advice guys i will take it all into consideation. the thing is with getting an induction kit and exhaust system i will have to change the log book and notify insurers and it could cost alot more
Re: remapping
