VW Polo GTi by Superchips

The most sophisticated kind of tuning these days has nothing to do with hammers and milling machines and metal work in general. It’s all about the electronics. UK-based Superchips is one of the best known names in this business. They just announced a performance boosting ECU remap for the latest (2010 onwards) sporty model of the Volkswagen Polo GTI – the 1.4 TSI twincharge. As standard the car packs a 180PS (178bhp), but with the ECU kit installed it gains an extra 27bhp and 35Nm of torque. On the road, the Superchips remapped VW Polo GTI 1.4 TSI ‘twincharge’ is considerably livelier than the standard model, being much more responsive to the throttle and much keener to rev. This is an efficient, rather cheap and quite effective way of gaining a few more horsepower and speed. Pricing: The Superchips Polo GTI ECU upgrade requires installation at one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres and is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 supplementary full vehicle warranty.* Priced at £455.00 inclusive of fitting and VAT @ 20%, the Superchips ECU remap for the Volkswagen Polo GTI 1.4 TSI twincharge 180PS is on sale now.
