Hey Guys,
Just saying hi here, i dont own a MPS but a VW Polo GTI

Hey mate and welcome!

The polo is a 1.8L? Have you done any mods to it?
Any plans to get an MPS?

Hi and Welcome

I used to have a Golf GTI, which I traded for the MPS. Will always have a spot in my heart for VWs though

Nah its the new 1.4 twin charge Polo, yeah maybe one day an MPS might make its way into the garage who knows. I would not say no to one.

Nice. Complex little engines those 1.4 twin charge units are. Lots of plumbing lol

How do you find the power delivery on them? Is the transition from supercharger to turbo smooth? Would be a bloody hard thing to get right

If these had come out 6 months earlier I would have probably got one. Love to know how it is to drive.
Oh, and welcome

Its extremely linear in power delivery, and the transition from super charger to turbocharger is seamless. If you had no idea you'd never guess there was even a transition, it is that well engineered.
Having said that the supercharger boosts from idle to 3000rpm, instantaneous torque off the line from there on the turbocharger kicks in, at the 3000-4000rpm mark you can certainly feel the engine in the middle of its torque band, it just wants to steam roll away, especially up hill.

Combined with a light chassis and great road manners, its brilliant piece of kit to throw around through a set of twisty mountain black top
It dident win Motor bang for buck for no reason, i walked away with mine for $32.5k drive away.

Here is a photo of it:

VERY flat power curve. Very nice. A few more herbs would be nice though. HP-F is the place to do that. lol
