Wtf...I didn't even catch the end of the Polo and your aready onto this....
Lovely machine, great figures

 :grin:

The Polo went 5 months ago. A lot can happen on a build thread in that time. :cool:

All being well I should get the car back tomorrow evening.

A few dyno pulls should reveal any increase in power/torque.

I'll post up as soon as I get the results. :smiley:

Update....

Well,

At the moment it is all about getting the newly fitted WMI to run sweet. My tuner has been trying various combinations of hardware with the WMI to see what runs best as he had several combos to look at. The results are phenomenal.

My mate will have to forgive me for using his stage 2+ Golf R as a baseline as it was the best guide as his run was done after the dyno was calibrated and only a few days away, but also under the same conditions.

Here goes.......

I'm getting more power at 4200rpm than the APR stage 2+ Golf R made at peak power and where the Golf R makes peak torque at 3400rpm my Golf R makes equal or more than that torque from 3050rpm to 5350rpm.

For reference max gain is 65bhp@4350rpm over Apr stage 2+ and a mahoosive 85lbft@4200rpm.

Peak power gain is 40bhp and 65lbft over Apr stage 2+

This just goes to show just how much midrange power and torque is added by WMI on GIAC. 

Stage 2 GIAC gave a few bhp more than APR stage 2+, but had 15lbft less torque. Which reminds me, I need to get some figures for the GIAC extreme pump map without WMI!

The car isn't just a little faster, it is a LOT faster. Mid range ooomph is much more positive and it just keeps coming! All-in-all WMI is a great modification to do for the performance returns when done right.

Maybe once the snow clears, otherwise it will be slower than a 1 litre Saxo! :laugh:

Oh, just got this pic as well.

My before and after WMI

The differences in software are....

Before
GIAC stage 2 software
Evoms intake

After
GIAC extreme map in Race mode
VF Intake - 3"MAF housing
Devils Own Water Methanol Injection
BSH throttle pipe

Exactly 60bhp and 90lbft more at 3500rpm!! Not bad returns for the outlay cost.

The midrange on this R is now mental.  :laugh:

Graph....
This was the first run up graph on WMI before fine tuning.

Mental isn't it. I just can't believe this car! Is it possible that this car could reach anywhere close to 500bhp?  :smug:
