VW Polo Cross 1.6 Petrol 2010

Post by Estiaan1234 »

Hi guys, I have a few questions about my car

Firstly why is there a 1.6tdi but not a 1.6 tsi?

Secondly if I wanted to turbo my car could I regularly turbo it would it be already turbo fit or would I have to change pistona head ect?

Thridly, my car's 5th gear is really lazy, how can I go about it to increase performance if not turbo boosting it? I had alot of guys tell me go change the ecu chip ul get 30 more khw and then others say its not really so.

I asked a friend and he said its best to ask vw guys about it

Thanks for the assistance in advance

These kind of posts always amazes me. Did you not test drive the vehicle? Did the lack of performance not show up at that stage?
There is no 1.6 tsi becuase a) vw does not make such an engine anymore b) they don't make a turbo petrol cross polo.

There is no simple way to turbo your engine no. It will require a way to drop compression ratio and a lot of other work.
No chipping you naturally aspirated 1.6 petrol will not give you 30 extra anything.
Save your money and trade your petrol one in on a tdi. It performs better. But go test drive it first.
If you still need more oomph consider a polo gti. That one is petrol , already has a turbo on performs a lot better.
