If you're speaking on the 1.4l turbo, that was introduced in 2012. Have one in my car and it's a great little engine. Lots of extra room in the engine bay left over though.
i think it was an earlier NA one. my brother's 2006 Polo has it.
extra room is good, a couple more turbos can't hurt.
It's aluminum block though. Only so much that little guy can take. I honestly have never looked into many performance upgrades for it outside a new air intake because that giant fuck-off box that's under my hood needs to go.
of course. it's better to optimize airflow and only slightly increase boost.
or if you wanna go extreme, swap a bigger, more durable engine in there.
all at the cost of fuel mileage.
VR6? ;)
