Hey I drive 2012 Seat ibiza 1.2tsi with 105hp, the car has done 113k miles. I actually done dyno for the car and got 103hp. im thinking about installing STM that adds about 30-40hp as they claim. the car is fine new turbo, engine with 0 codes, its safe for a remap? Please if u help.
Interesting and I do miss my 2019 Polo GTI but did find 4th gear too tall and seemed to run out of puff. But remember it’s only got 200bhp which is plenty up to 100mph it’s a great all rounder predictable and comfortable and nippy enough
Quite surprising the gap in performance between 1.8T 6C and the 2.0T AW, I’ve ran 16.94 100-200 and ran a 14.47 @ 101.06mph completely stock in my manual 6C
Stage 1 , 233ps/405Nm stage 1+ 252ps/440Nm.. not bad but i have the same car with stage 1 with 270ps/477Nm. A good set of tyres and dry weather, not to hot and it makes a big difference..
it runs fine , in dry weather and good tyres its even better .. but still its a fwd ,, much more power would be not recomended .. @@ronaldvanderveen9148
Bit miss leading title. "VW Polo - 'stock' vs tuned" would suggest a normal/base model. Would like to see this and other possible mods on a stock 1.2 TSI and what possible issue you can expect from modifying the car. What are the weak points? In this video comparison to me it says save your 500 pounds unless you have a need and ability to be driving often in the 100-200km/h range which for most of the world is hardly ever unless you're on the race track.
I'm asking this as someone who has a Stage 1 tuned car - I'm an advocate. The question is, why don't the manufacturers do this from factory in the first place? I know about the fuel quality / weather conditions/temp by country explanation already. What I don't quite get is why the UK designated cars wouldn't get a UK tune?
A lot of the time it's so the car doesn't out perform other cars in the manufacturer's range (in this case a golf gti would be the closest rival I'd guess). They're also mapped to be very 'safe' from factory, presumably so that there's less wear on components i.e the turbo.
its all about the reliability. Although a tune might not kill the car quickly, wear will be higher on all drivetrain components and the car will fail sooner.
@@Chickenpantz that's not completely correct, polo gtis use a completely different version of the ea888, albeit with many same pieces as found in the golf gtis. The main difference is the newer golfs having a EA888 gen3 version (mk7 and 7.5) while the Polo GTIs used the EA888 3b version (with multi port injection and miller cycle system) up to I believe it was 2022, newer Polo GTI models employing an EA888 evo4 version of the motor, with direct injection only.
@@insanelewis21 yeah not to wear down the engine :) factory turbo u don't even need to go higher since turbo is out of breath... but tuned it's nice... also if you wanna try 100-200 it helps a lot
Interestingly this polo gti isn't any faster than the previous one( 6c 1.8tsi) both also make around 270hp with stage 2 full bolt ons. I think the 1.8tsi may be slightly faster infact due to it being lighter, and using the conventional ea888.3 as oppose to the ea888.3B engine
Incorrect! I have a 2020 model tuned to stage 2 by Revo! It has a CAI, turbo muffler delete and intercooler piping, stock downpipe 285hp and 480nm of torque. Racingline doesn't do the Polo justice, its way faster than the old gen
@@FdVaz7786 Hi, how much did stage 2 cost you in total? I'm considering doing it. Also, would you recommend it and how has it impacted your insurance prices?
@Marc-cd1yy Not by much, you have to take an engine warrant into consideration though, that's if you bought it brand new and still under warranty! Prices might be different 2.5k NZ dollars where I live.
@@andy2200a you said the video is not long right? I agree but the tuning part is for long time right? Maybe till you sell the car or till the end of it. So how about the lifetime by tuning this motor? Will it brake down? Does the ECU custom map has a guarantee that the motor will not die after a few miles? I know the video is not long but where we go after that?
they really made it look lik they gonna line two cars up the run way....fk that clickbate🤣😅
Mk8 gti stock vs the st1 polo gti
I was chatting to Mark on Saturday about possibly getting my Passat TDI remapped... I WILL be in touch very soon!
What was the bhp please ??
Before and after
What was the horse power after the flash?
When you putting up the video with the racingline S3 with the new PCM 🤔
That's insane improvements with just a tune
Awesome results.. make me want to get mine done.
You should!
Yh do it for sure, i got both that and the transmission done, now 250bhp and 430nm, such a fun car.
@@cmcmanus1974 how much did it run you all in?
@@thomas1x635 600 euros total for both.
Can yall pls do Audi A3 sportback s tronic with a stage 4 vs vw gti 6

I have the same 2019 Polo GTI with 6MT and the gearing is much shorter and the thing is a fricking rocket!
You needed a tune
Interesting gains on ecu flash only 🚀😂
I was just thinking this in my head for the past month..
Can you tune a mini one r50 2006 model?
Can you flash using superchips? It is after all one of the longest tuning companies in the UK ??
If my intention is only going Racingline OEM+ Stage 1 is the TCU tune necessary? Thanks very much.
Definitely get the TCU, I have a MK6 polo GTI, the TCU Flash is DEFO needed to help the sloppy gears
the TCU is recommended for the extra power and torque, it enhances the stage 1
Superb result. Fwd so hard … but once moving !
Yes it was!
I have the 18 plate gti + what’s the best upgrade for me? Never upgraded or mapped a car before.
Intake, exhaust, intercooler, map engine and gearbox.

No, you didn't.
Tbf the 1.8 6c is quicker than the aw
@@Alpakaanusthat's kinda racist
No DSG tune ?
I wish we got the Polo in the US

You don’t have any problems with that much nm and hp? Does it stil run cool?

Good point, I was also wondering about how it affects the reliability of the engine/transmission

Mint them Polo's
Need a better road to see the gains
why does the price of the tune vary so much? £500 for the tune on this car but on a leon cupra for example with almost the same engine its £660?
Im sure the cars value would be taken into consideration
When he interrupted just when he was about to say the quarter mile time... Very annoying.
Is it true the dsg won't let you redline. It will short shift even in manual?
yes it is true. stock always upshifts no matter what you select D, S or M... You need a dsg tune (tcu) to be able to rev as far as you like :)
@@SikyGTI ah OK so this is sortable then. Wonder why they take that away from factory. Reliability?
@@insanelewis21 yeah not to wear down the engine :) factory turbo u don't even need to go higher since turbo is out of breath... but tuned it's nice... also if you wanna try 100-200 it helps a lot
Even after a tcu tune it will probably still auto shift as to not blow itself up
Driver sounds like Kell Brook
What was the polo running after the tune?
You have to watch the video :)
@@awesomecars1 I mean horsepower wise 🤣 I watched the video
@@jackerrington9268 2.0 tsi engines tend to run around 250 with a stage 1 tune

So what your saying is I need to find £500

Interestingly this polo gti isn't any faster than the previous one( 6c 1.8tsi) both also make around 270hp with stage 2 full bolt ons.
I think the 1.8tsi may be slightly faster infact due to it being lighter, and using the conventional ea888.3 as oppose to the ea888.3B engine
Well tbh the 0 to 100 could be faster if it had better tires lol

With the correct tune it can last as long as a non tuned version mabey even live longer.
Pointless.
Just get better tires, better intake pipe and that'll get you the same results.
Slow slow 😂
Rubbish video...why couldnt yourl race the cars at the same time mxm
Isn't it the same car?
Because it's the same car 😭😭
