is your charger ported?

big valve head, cam, front mount i/c, aquamist, 1341/1472cc - remap.

Then blowers like g60, eaton, turbo

aquamist is also known as water/methanol injection to some people. A mixture of the above 50:50 solution) is injected into the boost pipe after the intercooler to allow the timing to be adjusted accordingly for better running. Thats how i understand it anyway and im yet to fit my kit!

yeah I'd be doing an engine rebuild before anything else if it was me.

Max went turbo at ~150K and it went bang in a matter of months.

Rebuid is the way to go.

Although the sensible thing would be to find a 200bhp engine (stock) and spend the money making it fit a polo rather than spend money rebuilding that. Jap is easy ponies.
