Hurdy's new Polo GTI..project time!

[dom]

To start with I'm going for the Loba270 hybrid turbo. If all looks okay with this then I'll look at a larger Garrett. Unfortunately with this engine and gearbox you have to take baby steps

What do you mean by this? You have to fit a smaller hybrid to let is get used to that then smash the monster one in? Can you not just bang it in and map it accordingly?

I guess its because the tolerances of the engine are fairly unknown. No point in sticking a whopping big turbo on if the bottom end is going to say no, small steps are taken to try & prevent this.

My guess anyway!

I've been on the phone with Carl at Revo today and they more or less confirmed what I thought. They will not supply a map over what I already have for the 1.4tsi engine. They think it is too fragile and so aren't doing any further development 
Leaves me a bit in limbo unless I decide on an engine transplant

TTRS AWD transplant anyone?

Speak to some other tuners, I'm sure someone will have the bottle to go further if you sign a waiver letting them off the hook if it goes bang in spectacular fashion.

Brilliant engine, sounds the nuts, scary how quick they are. My mate owns a new TTRS and I remember the LCR mk2 he had, that was quick with stage 2+, but this is in a different league at how quick it climbs to 160, oh and the stopping distance is amazing.

I remember when we was driving back on essex and we slowed the m25 down in all 3lanes, the Cupra and TT left me looking like at a stand still (n a 1.8T mk4) as they flew off, then at was about 110mph the TTRS really shined and left the LCR mk2 left for dead. I miss them days.

My car is excellent in terms of acceleration up to 90mph, but after that it slows. Reasonably speaking I shouldn't need huge acceleration over 90mph as I'd only really need it on large power tracks, 1/4 mile runs and 30-130 days, but next year I'm doing all 3!!!

As you can see below the pace is lovely up to 70mph due to the lower weight of the car, up to 90 isn't too bad, but 90-100 is starting to slow.

Still really good mate I would be happy with that... What 1/4 mile time you hoping for ?

I might give you a race at pod next year I my starlet

I've done a 13.8 using the performance box. The last half of it was uphill!

Devil's Own water/meth system now being fitted in January to console myself over not getting the turbo yet

Made me smile a little.
