hello everyone, im new to this forum so excuse me if i have missed a post for this topic previously. i have recently bought a polo 1.4 tdi se and was interested in getting more out of it. i've done some reading up n think that remapping's the way for me but i'm unsure if there's any other mods i might wanna think about before remapping...
great forum by the way.
really helpful...

You dont want to swap it for a gti do you??! Sounds like you got a right bargain! I like the ls's on a mk5, they make it look how a dub should.
You can gain loads with the 1.4 tdi. A remap, filter, exhaust should see around 110bhp. I'm not sure if it would fit but i've always wondered about strapping on the 150bhp 1.9 turbo, as in theory it should make it go like stink!

ha ha ha no ta mate. tdi's alllll mine. the 1.9 is a great idea but im sure hardly any mechanics would wanna go near that. u could be causing more trouble for yourself than its worth. if u ever managed it though, i see that revo or awsome are giving jabba a run for their money on remaping results. differences of like 5-15 hp

am i reading that right, you got bilstein collies for £280?!
thats a bloody bargain!? they only make 2 sets for the 6n2 i know of, even if its only the PSS kit (lesser than PSS9) thats still bloody cheap and i would be happy to pay that much for them, other places price them £700 min!!

well thats what the man reckons. apparently they were the last set they had and needed getting rid of. i'll double check that though n let u kno. they done quite a good deal really. all in all i spent about 1100 with them. the companies based in hayes.....

You'll gain approx 33% more BHP AND 33% more torque
I suggest you give Jabbasport a ring.
Cost is £430 for 4 hours including a rolling road session
