I looked into this with the Australian distributer and he recommended forged rods for APR Stage III and forged rods and pistons for Stage III+.

Sorry Kenny I just noticed your list of mods in your signature. Have you considered the Custom Code/JBS phase III upgrade? 300whp and you already have the FMIC and TB exhaust and CC Phase II. Maybe they could cut you a deal with Custom Codes progressive tuning discounts?? And from what I have read in all my reseach (results soon to be posted here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=33911) you won't need to upgrade the internals.
Anyway best of luck whatever you decide :google:
Yeah the cams may not be necessary but it will compliment stg3 mods. Even if you're going to stage 2, some tuning companies like Unitronic insist you upgrade the injectors to 380cc, a range colder plug like NGK BKR7E or Denso IK27 (2 range colder I think), 3.5 bar fuel pressure regulator.Quote:

Decisions decisions i guess!? I know what you mean about tractions but if you think 340 BHP is a lot what about a guy that has just fitted a GT30 to his Polo, made 483BHP 386lb/ft at the fly!!!! :eek: 360KW i think???
Yeah Jmac! lol starting again lastnight but never came to anything. Polo is loving the cold weather tho! :banana:
correct me if im wrong but i thaught the pog had trouble squeezing in the stage 3 apr set up? how are these guys in the uk , fitting them in?
Dont think there has been one fitting to a Polo in th UK mate. There has been a couple of Seat Ibiza Mk4's that have had the IHI turbo kit fitted.
I didn't buy the APR set up, because I thought it won't fit...Quote:

The problem is in the pressurization tubes, intake, downpipe... all made to fit the Golf... I'm not sure if it will be plug'n'play in the Polo.
The APR kit is very complete, there is a video on YouTube explaining most of the kit components.
The only negative point that I saw is the software. In my case, I had to open the ECU and change the chip. It won’t accept direct port programming. You can see a parallel port over it.
Ohh.. Guess what! It didn’t work. I had to ship it to US to be checked… It will be back here in the next week.
My car is running with the APR k04 software.

Parallel port allows you to tune with a BDM set up, vehicles from 2010 are going back to BDM set up, which is open ecu again like you have, will be around 12mnths before its back to serial flash, however im surprised that you cant on yours mate, whats the story there???
Cheers

Encryption board or something soldered on there Jimmy. Had this on The Krauts Passat. Had to fit another board with the software loaded on it.
