very nice but she pulls well are you running a diff

small update fitted a Vibra-Technics gearbox mount today helps alot more with putting the power down and not more banging off the lights

mot time next month then the fun starts

whys that yorks?

its a proper handful now all good fun tho

on its 1st run it hit 395bhp but was wheel spinning (in 5th) and couldnt be counted

on the 2nd run it got upto 373 bhp and this happened = game over

the operator said it would have made 380 bhp if the pipe never popped

i have a peloquin diff and spec stage 2+ clutch and solid alloy flywheel

mad stuff mate!! lovin it

SEXUAL!! Thats amazing power from a polo but , cant see it being usable!

i can nearly lay full power down in 2nd with the diff doing its job (1st gear in my 6 speed box is pointless)
0-20 = crap / 20 - 160+ = game on

great stuff shame about the pipe but looks like its the cheap stuff not sure how the 5 speed will cope with the power but will be finding out soon

just payed the deposit for the kit will have to wait for the manifold the be made

will be runing this manifold but with no external waste gate take off as it will be very close to the A/C pipes with a nice GT30 sat on top of it will be fun will be a one of kit with full 3" off the turbo to the back and a single pass intercooler
think im going to have the mani and down pipe ceramic coated

I cant wait to see this done!!!!

When was the last time you had your car on the road or has it just been on the ramps since you got it? When do you think it will be ready???

thanks kenny

i carnt wait too i drive it everyday only did with out it when i was doing the engine but it does go on a ramp few time a month just cos i can

have to wait on the manifold to be made and for him to get all the parts too also the guy is doing a A3 at the min so should be dropping it off end of the month and around two weeks build time because of the intercooler but i may run longer
