So i currently have the custom jabbasport map on my car and its very very good. BUT APR made me an offer I just couldn't refuse.
APR was my original choice even before i went with shark performance for my first remap anyway, mainly due to the switchable map system. The map isnt going to cost me anything, so that wasnt a factor to consider and ill also get a water methanol injection specific map that i can switch to when using water meth for max output
.
There was alot of oohing and ahhing over the last few days trying to decide if i should change from a remap that i am very happy with, ie why fix something that isnt broken, and Jabba were more than capable of doing the hybrid, but after a few discussions with many people, i have gone for it.
We've decided to take the modifying alot further though, we'll be sorting suspension, brakes, engine mounts etc etc. My situation is perfect for this. Im out of the country for 6 months, thus dont need the car, so APR are keeping it for me and going to go crazy on it on my behalf, I just fund thingslol
Previous Spec
Decat DP, Pace Intercooler, Pace radiator, Forge intake, shark stage 2 remap
Current spec
Decat DP, Pace Intercooler, Pace radiator,Jabba Custom remap
Spec in the next few weeks
Decat DP, Intake Pace Intercooler, Pace radiator, Loba LO270 hybrid turbo, APR Stage 3 remap
This shiny little badger is getting bolted to my car
LO270 turbocharger
state-of-the-art “Extended Tip” compressor wheel
5-axis CNC re-profiled compressor housing and backplate
5-axis CNC re-profiled turbine housing
special clipped turbine wheel
optimized clearances
modified actuator
uprated bearing
precision balancing of individual components and CHRA
Apparently its capable of 270hp with all the bolt on parts and components you would expect a stage 3 car. but i removed my Forge intake as it was restricting power so its the stock intake fitted currently it will choke the power for the minute, but its only a minor mod to sort. Im not expecting 270hp by any means in all honesty, but im expecting to gain plenty over my current 216Hp, especially with a nice big intake.
Very excited.
This time next year, the car should be a very very different beast, but will have had considerably more money plowed into it than previously planned :S ,
Knowing my luck something will go wrong lol
The Polo GTI in this hot tuner challenge test is where mid like my car to be performing (same engine/chassis/tuner etc) except my car wil have alot more power!!
