I had the AUQ in my old Octavia VRS. Good strong motor and pulled well after a map especially with the KO3s. BAM internals are a must if you want serious power.

Having looked over the beast the past few days I have decided to start again on the gear box mount side of things. What the guy has done jut scares me and I would hate to think what would happen if it crashed. So I shall be scarfing new bits in and making a new mount for that side which still houses the 6 speed box. Gave the car a quick wash as it had sat on a farm for 10 months and the paint work is pretty good so really happy with it.
Let the part collecting commence

Nice one Matt
its going to be an awesome project!
The BAM engine is not the most reliable though as stated above, anything over 265 and its pretty much on the limt before the rods start bending.
Although saying that anything with 220-230 bhp in a stripped out Polo is going to be a complete weapon
LSD and sticky tyres would be ideal

Thanks Ben
Yes thinking of changing the rods anyway but running the standard map for the time being so depedning what engine code it will be running 210 or 225 bhp which will be loads for now! However if i want to up the boost it will be no problem to do so.
Need to look into LSD's and see if my RC's with 205 tires will fit in the arches

This is the sort of s**t im talking about!
I saw this on eBay and text the bloke about it but it was sold by the time i got to it!.
We will let you be guinea pig then i will do it!!
When i was talking to a guy about doing a conversion he told me the polo loom is pretty much Mk4 golf and he said you should be able to solder the BOSCH ECU plug on for the inside loom.
Cant wait to see this!
