Evening all very quick question which or the two superchargers mentioned above is goin to make my polo quicker.I've been offered a straight swap as I've always wanted an eaton on my polo but i just want to check its the right move to make Many thanks matt
an R1 spec G-Lader won't make a huge difference, but don't read that as no difference. Eaton can push HUGE power, but they are hell to get setup and working as well as the G-Lader or a turbo setup.
Humm don't know what to say to that realy don't know what to do if I'm honest
What do you want from your car?
A sweet sound and power if I'm honest
An Eaton will get you there with more sound and potentially power., but the R1 is bolt on, run some toothed pulleys for a different sound and a little extra juice. Eaton conversions from what I have seen are always big hassle and take ages to get running right, if you love tinkering and making things work it might be your thing.
Already have rooted pullies and g60 injectors so is there goin to be much difference
Only good thing about an eaton charger is you dont have to spray the grease for boost mod into it, less maintenance and the blades are teflon i think.
But i hate the sound of the eaton charger. Sounds like a gay police car.
Ah do they sound that bad then my r1 is noisy but I think it's the toothed pulleys and they sound kool
eaton sounds totally different, personally I hate the sound of them and I think I'd end up wanting to set fire to the car after a long motorway journey with that awful air-raid siren screaming noise all the time!
What eaton charger is it? Assuming an M45 then it'll make more maximum boost than a G40 G-Lader will.
Yes mate it's the m45 can't believe they are so noisy
I have ano eaton charger and can safely say the are a pig to set up and they are really noisy but i love it i love the noise it makes and most of all i love the power i get from it i run the smaller of the 2 toothed pullys that psd made 24 tooth i think it is and the power is unreal my car now scares the crap out of me and i love every minuite off it but if you dont want to be looked at everywhere you go the eaton is not the charger for you lol
I like the sound of this mate can you still get the smaller pulleys now
My Eaton conversion took just minor to none setup and I went up to 143hp (standard engine) and I really love the sound of an eaton despite the comments I have heard from time to time (cat under the bonnet, firetruck, electric screwdriver). I even miss it now that my G40 is broken (chassis broken, not engine), I miss the torque pull out from 2500rpm too! :'(

:D that sounds EPIC! ;D
Wow I'm kind of convinced now :-)
Im also running an Eaton M45 charger,,,first time i heard it i never expected that noise,but like some have said you either love it or you hate it,but with me after owning it now for over a year i love the bloody thing,,has its moments thou my set up sometimes like to run a little erratic,,but if that had have bothered me i wouldnt have bought another g40 engine with a psd Eaton set up :o ;D,,the fun will probably begin for me when i fit my PSD Eaton cam ;)
So will I need to remap my polo to get the best out of the eaton if so where's best to take it
try yoof on here for a re map session i believe they are the best.as for the 19 percent smaller pully u cant still get them but only in a ribbed belt the toothed belt ones came from psd and are no longer available wish they were as mine is worn

Doubt you need smaller pulleys for the eaton. I am running 1,2 to 1,3 bar with the crank and alternator pulleys out of the 6n polo and using a 5pk belt.
Which pulls are you useing mate
He is running a stock pulley with a non ported eaton m45
Kano has my old setup and tbh, i miss the psychotic blender noise and thats it. psd kits can be a swine due to bodges when they were made and i mustve spent £150 on toothed belts! Wasnt so keen on power delivery either (more revs = more power) and im alot happier with the K03 setup i have now.
