Hi guys,

Sorry, was sooo busy. Thank you for your contributions. I have done the 96kw upgrade and remap with RK Motion. Had a hiccup though... the mechanic who I was directed to, didn't tighten the tensioner pully on the cambelt. It came loose on the open road and one standard head and valves had to be replaced. I chose to take it to another mechanic and after 10 000km everything is still good.

On the consumption:
I do realize that it all depends on my weight of my right foot... hahaha.... but ons speed control on the open road at 128km/h I get 16km/l. The car is very strong, but I do need an LSD box, too much power for one wheel.
Where do I get a LSD box for my Polo?

Thank you
Jaco

Did u fit 96kw Injectors or still have the 74kw injectors in there?

LSD is one of the last things to be done in my opinion. Rather get a better Tyre and use the balance of the cash for other modsImage

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:

Agreed, quality tyres and better suspension will help more than enough before having to worry about an LSD
It is an ingenius solution to a problem that should have never existed in the 1st place...
