TN motorsport is not from Lisbon, he is from the North of Portugal.

213 bhp is a lot of power, but it ain't much use delivered like that. You could make a cup of tea in the time it takes to spool up! Watch the 3rd gear acceleration, it's like nothing... nothing... nothing... then wooosh/wheelspin/limiter!
See footage of Yoof doing a high speed pass, far more linear and smoother in its power delivery.
I'd say that's UK Polo = 1 - Portugese Polo = 0! ;D

yeah, thats right mate!

on that video, the guy is running a t25 turbo. it use to had more low power ppunch when he was running a gt22.

i think the best turbo for a moded G40 is a kkk03 or a gt22, you'll get a overall power delivery.

most of portguese turbo g40's run a t25 or t28, in my opinion is way to big for a 1.3litr engine.

i'll try to find some more videos with the gt22 setup.
