Hurdy's new Polo GTI..project time!

[scarr89]

The upgrades sound intense. How many extra ponies are you hoping to gain?

No-one knows what bhp the car will get yet as I'll be the first to have this combo. Somewhere north of 270 bhp would be a start

Christ, you are THE pioneer of the polo GTI tuning world!! 270 will be extremely excessive. What 'brand' is the new turbo, how much bigger etc?

Yes, hopefully I will be at Ultimate Dubs ( outside in the carpark though ), Elsecar mega meet show, Spring Festival at Santa Pod and possibly Inters. Haven't looked beyond that yet.

The car is in Today (Thursday) for the turbo conversion and decat.

Another person is having the turbo conversion done at the moment and it looks like the Loba turbo flows a LOT more than anyone thought!!!!

More power than initially thought is always welcome

Your having it totally de catted? I guess in 3 years time when you need an MOT you'll pop it back? What about wasted money with the sports cat?
 
You going to have many pictures of the install? I cannot wait to see this beast on a dyno!
