Project: Polo 2.0
(2.0 TSI Swap)

There have been quite a few problems with the Bosh MED 9.1 ECU for the Polo along the way, some of which have been resolved, some not yet.

The factory soundproofing and thermal insulation from the R WRC Street version of the 2.0 TSI/TFSI engine dropped into the Polo.

Comparison of the factory intercooler from the Polo 6R GTI 1.4 TSI / 6R R WRC Street 2.0 TSI / 6C GTI 1.8 TSI to the Wagner Competition intercooler.

Bye bye 1.4 CGGB! It’s been a pleasant and trouble-free almost 10 years together!

The oil filter from the 2.0 (06A) on a plastic base has been replaced by a normal filter from the 1.8T (06F).

Swirl flaps were removed from the intake manifold – I used a ready-made kit from the TafMet store.

Intake valves of my future 2.0 TSI EA113 engine have been cleaned up a bit.
