the chassis isnt in the same league as the mk5 platform golfs. the ESp cuts in far to much and the XDS is about as much use as a cock flavoured lollypop. Speaking to VWRacing they think the same,although as always add some coilovers, ARBs, some tyres and brakes etc and it'll be very good
They weigh hardly anything and the traffic light GP is what they do best. hence why with only stage 1 there are guys in the low 13s on the 1/4. Ibizaracebrake on SCN has stage 1 REVO with a cat back exhaust and stripped interior, R888s and KW coilovers and hes got the fastest 1/4mile time ive seen.
Stock cars are making 14.66 on the 1/4 as well which is impressive in its own right.
http://seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=316640The guys on SCN seem to be having build quality issues with the engine. the guy above has his engine in bits after his pistons melted etc, apparently injector not fueling enough, but from what i gather the main cars effected are 09 cars. there are now new injectors and fuel pumps iirc.
There is a guy on SCN with a hybrid turbo running 250hp which from what i gather is pretty impressive. Mines on a stage 1+ remap with a Decatted OEM downpipe and on the dual carriageway behind a mk2 leon Cupra i was having to lift off big style
Have a look here

They dont come with a rear ARB as standard, John.
Are you sure? Iill have a look this weekend when im back home.
also @ hurdy there are loads of brake options as the front hubs are the same as on the mk4 Golf platform,so if it fits the mk4 golf, it'll fit the polo
