Chop chop

Tubes are formed and welded (you can see the weld line) I'd suggest monkey metal, probably old washing machines and coke cans from China... Looking good now, reakon I can finish the red polo before you? :P

Goodyear Eagle F1s on my 172, and it's utter sh1te in the snow...

Bought it straight from Garrett- I believe it's the standard upgrade for a Lotus Carlton (with two obviously)- as it's a 1.3 I'd struggle to spool anything much bigger, even with 9.3:1 CR. TD04 are really solid turbos- run them at work and rarely have problems, although now need to change as...

Fortunately it's got a decent sized cooler on it, and runs a water/methanol injection aswell. The turbo you see in the pictures is a GT2554R, will probably run 18psi. Old turbo was a K03 removed from a 20v Passat, good for 20psi+ on the 1.8t so not really inefficient on a Polo engine. Would...

A tiny turbo doesn't help... Even so, it would cross the line at the same time as your Trevor if this is to be believed: http://www.torquestats.com/index.php?car_id=304 :)

Jamie- went quite well on bodies, would have been about 120bhp and 110lbft if I'd finished the mapping. I was going to fit direct port nitrous onto it aswell. However I drove my brother's G40 Turbo and sacked N/A off... I do miss the sound, but boost is the only way! Whiteley- Hope to see you...

I'm in Cheshire, work at Bentley as a Test Engineer for Engine Development. Thanks for the kind words :) I'm trying to organise a Polo G40 vs Cliosport RWYB day sometime next year, all the Club G40 boys are up for it, so register your interest here...

The eaton chargers do make good power, but I can't stand the sound! :o Here's my other polo: Once I've got the red one rebuilt I'll start on that- it's waiting for a Saab 9000 Aero motor, 350bhp and 400lbft :cool:

I remeber that car, very clean! I've got both, Clio is daily drive :approve:

Obviously this wasn't enough, so for 2010 I've got a little something extra: Afterall I've got to stay ahead of Mark and his MK1 20v clio :rasp:

So 2009s events: Few pics from GTi Festival, and a couple of videos now :-) Setting up: Warming up: Lining up: And some videos: UK's Quickest FWD Polo Polo vs RS4 The engine remains a 1.3 8V only changes internally are forged pistons :cool:

Thought I'd introduce you guys to my toy car- I do enjoy the Clio on the road, great bang for the buck, but I'll always be a VW lad at heart. My car started as a 1991 Polo GT, seen here: Didn't start life like that, was probably after 2 years or so, used to run a 90bhp 3f engine and 80bhp...

Mine runs 23psi. With no problems. Who are these 'mates' with turbo'd G40s?? The little G40 bottom ends are good for 300bhp if you know what you're doing. As for fixing it, parts are about 50p, and always fitted with a 10, 13 or 17mm spanner :rasp: If it's a silver 6n2 I'd steer clear...
