Whys that Al?

Matty: Nice work gettin the CDA in mate, seems like a bit of a mission though! So, does the car seem any difference performance wise? What is the sound actually like? More diesel clatter or more turbo whoooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? lol To everyone else lol: Whats the most power/torque you've heard of/seen from a 1.4 tdi... drag machines etc dont count.. normal daily cars please! Im almost defo im going to sell the polo as the power is just not enough anymore! Not had it mapped but driven a mapped tdi and wasnt too impressed tbh! On a similar note, would i benefit from a larger downpipe or is the turbo to small for it to matter? Matty, sorry for going off topic, i just try to keep the tdi tuning in one thread! Makes life easier for everyone Abdul

Good stuff fella... what u had done to the bora so far then? Mapped it yet? Matt: Pics? Vids? Sound clips? lol anything my man...

NFBR: Performance is much better top end wise! I cant keep my foot off the gas... love the sound of the turbo spooling up!! Matt: Any pics mate?

Matt, can u make a vid/post up a sound clip or something? Been wanting to do it but dont have the balls to waste 150 if it ends up sounding MORE tractor-ish... Also, Are u running a aftermarket cold air feed or still using the factory one? Cheers mate Abdul NFBR: I love my mufflerectomy ...it sounds pretty mean under full load... fuel economy has gone down the drain since i added the zorst!

I'd tune the 1.4... im sure more than 120 bhp is possible.. give allard a call and see what they can do!

Hows the handling with all the new goodies Al? Im hoping for a very similar set up on my polo. Also, how come you decided to keep the backbox this time? lol I think turbo back is the next step for me too.... Abdul

Picola thats exactly why im going to order the KW V1's lol.. never been in a car with Kw's or H&R's but i know i want a comfy ride as possible, cant drive the car too fast because i just end up taking out chunks of my tyres so handling isn't the biggest issue for me personally

Tigz, what is so damn good about the H&R's? I mean ive heard **** loads about em but in what way are they better than the KW V1/2? NFBR: Are the KW's and Weitec's really the same in terms of ride and handling?

Go for it... lol.. ive got a straight pipe from cat back... one big ass piece of stainless steel lol... Thinking of de catting it, but want to do the induction shiz first to see how loud it gets.. i dont want it to get too loud you see!!

Ok cool, so would you recommend an enclosed induction kit or open thingy? If its enclosed ill keep it in the stock position with just a big fat cold air feed but if its open ill try to relocate it behind the grills.... Did the induction kit you had make a tiring noise as such? Like under 2k rpm was it loud as feck or was it just loud when you gave it the beans? Sorry for all the questions... i did the same to NFBR about my exhaust! lol... oh btw, could u perhaps post a link to the simota you had? Cheers Abdul EDIT: lol, another question, the little pipe thingy bob thats connected to the air box... what should i do with it?

G man, me wants turbo noise... lol, im not going to lie, call me a chav and a boy racer and whatever the hell else but we all know that turbo whooshes are cool as fck! lol... So you'd recommened i extend the piping for the air filter down to the front bumper yes? But where too? Wouldnt the lower grilles be too low? I mean water could get in there and what not! Has anyone got a pic of a lupo/arosa/polo/a2 lol tdi without the bumper on so i can see what might need to be done..? Ive got a polo by the way None of the polo lads seem to tune their tdi's... everyone seems obsessed with the polo gti's which really are a pretty crap car to begin with in my opinion, loop gti's on the other hand are the shiz.... but lets keep that between us eh! One more question.. has anyone tried enclosed induction kits like the bmc cda etc etc on the tdi? Have they helped at all? Also, what other model induction kits might fit? Reason i ask is simple, no one apart from jetex seem to make induction kits for the tdi!!

Ive still got my cat and its silent when not under acceleration... its actually pretty quiet with my foot down too... my noise comes in mostly at loow revs and then the turbo comes in and you can hear that too which im pretty happy about.. not loud at all though to be honest, was thinking of perhaps getting it de catted next but not sure as to how much louder it'll get! Gman: I didnt know jetex sold de cat systems?? lol... Did u have a backbox or get rid of it too? How much power/torque was ur car running buddy? Also, what air filter system/cold air feed etc did u use? cheers Abdul

I had mine done yesterday... well it sounds better when on the move.. lol has a nice whhooshing type of sound to it! Performance wise i have lost torque, not sure how much but it is definately noticable! On the plus side the car revs a lot more freely and i seem to have improved top end performance.... The torque will hopefully be sorted when the car gets mapped!

Lovely car mate, love all the subtle touches, now hurry the hell up and get coilys on fella!!!

Cheers buddy, will see how it goes! How much difference in noise did the above mods make?? EDIT: Where did u get the exhaust made?

Evening chaps, sorry if this counts as thread jacking but i thought it'd be a waste to start another thread... NFBR: When u say to use a straight pipe, do u mean no backbox at all? Like an extra long centre section as such? lol... How'd it sound? Filter wise, what/where/how is the best way to improve the cold air feed? Remapping is the easy bit, call jabba and book my car in lol... Ive got a polo 2001 tdi by the way but it should more or less be the same! Thanks Abdul
