Looking back wish I had done a from start to finish on this,
Bought the car a year ago at a local dealer was running a health 192bhp at the time. Many monies later and lots of work later. We are here. Just thought I would share the build on here. Modifications: IS38 Turbo (From Golf R) Wagner Comp Intercooler KW V3 Coilovers Quaife LSD Sachs SMF And Sintered Clutch GFB DV+ OEM RS3 Coil NGK Comp Spark Plugs Spaced 15mm Front 20mm Rear Racingline enlarged Turbo Elbow And Golf R Breather Racingline induction kit 4-Tech Short Shifter Scorpion turbo back exhaust Now mapped by VAG specialists PSI Tuning running 354bhp Next Plans: HPFP From Golf R Golf R Injectors This should see around 450bhp. But would struggle to get that down so might be limited by FWD. Ultimately it's pretty crazy even now and many ask me why not just buy a golf r. I always reply with the faces of people expecting a little polo shocked by how crazy it is.

Thank you for taking a look at my expensive pride and joy |

| I would recommend a LSD mate, brilliant car but any car of that power will have trouble putting it down. I not long ago had a 2014 fiesta st-2 and built it up from standard to be pushing out 336bhp. That could have done with an LSD too but ended up getting rid |

| Looking nice man! People always underestimate these little Polos. The 1.8T can take a lot before needing a full forge build. |

Thanks man, This is the 1.8TSI Makes Very Similar numbers to the 2.0TSI in the Mk7.5 Forging only needed circa 600hp I'm told. Absolutely mental how well engineered modern day engines are. |
