Philplop Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 GTI's aren't particularly tunable, there doesn't seem to be any off-the-shelf parts for them, so everything has to be pretty much custom.Have a search for tuning GTI though, there are people on here who know far more than me.Who'd be putting your engine in? They're apparantly a bitch to fit, and Jabbasport and the likes will charge over £7000 to fit one.To be honest, I wouldn't bother tuning it now if you're gonna fit a 20VT in less than a year, unless that means you're going to be selling off the cams and things cheap, in which case, first dibs please. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Yeah, you can get a manifold, you need to get one for a Polo GTI though and bend it slightly to fit.Free engine fitting sounds good. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> Edited March 7, 2007 by philip_wilkinson1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Bah, I thought of that afterwards. I have seen one listed for the Polo GTI though. PhilJ lists one, I guess it's still the Polo 16v one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubya Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 GTI's aren't particularly tunable, there doesn't seem to be any off-the-shelf parts for them, so everything has to be pretty much custom.Wait wait wait... That reads... They're not tuneable, because there are no off-the-shelf parts for them..They are tuneable, and by quite a massive amount in some cases.No tuning of any normally aspirated motor is cheap. You get very little power increase for the actual cost at the end of it. If your serious about tuning, then the costs involved are budgeted for. Simple as... There are no quick fixes that get you massive gains, in any sort of motor tuning. Bare in mind the millions manufacturers invest, to develop motors in the first place!There are normally aspirated options available for the GTI, aswell as forced induction (turbo or supercharger). Expect 20-30hp gain for upto around £2k normally aspirated. And anything from 40-100hp gains when it comes to forced induction, but expect a hefty bill at the end of it... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) there are loads of off the shelf tuning parts for the gti, just not in the mass market magazine or website areas.can even buy bundled in kits aswell, so you can get 155bhp and 170bhp road kits and 210bhp race kits normally aspirated. it can be expensive though. 170bhp kit is £5k.
