VW Polo 1.2Tsi – Stage4: Big turbo kit

It is not every day that we get to see a 1.2 TSI engine with a big turbo kit. Even less common is it to see a 1.2 TSI with a built engine and a huge turbo for its size.
Why would anyone do it? For power of course. For making something different. And it really is impressive how this Lilliputian 1.2 engine behaves!

    Can you tell me more about the upgraded fueling, intake manifold and the built engine. I’m thinking about doing some upgrades to my Polo.

      This power level requires larger injectors than the stock ones to work. We used the ones from the 1.4 TSI engines – they are a direct fit. It makes sense why they are needed, the original power output of the engine is much much lower than this.
      For more information with regards to the engine internals and build, you will have to contact the company that did it.

    I have this engine and I think to do something similar, what is the total cost of the preparation? Thanks

      Unfortunately it is hard to estimate the total cost of this upgrade, because of the custom built components that were used.
