European owners of the Volkswagen Polo GTI looking for a relatively inexpensive solution to improve the performance of their cars will be interested to know that Superchips has released a new ECU tune for the German hatchback.

The Polo GTI is powered by a direct injection 1.4-liter gasoline four-pot featuring both a supercharger, which boosts the engine until 3,000prm, and a turbocharger that kicks in afterwards, for a maximum output of 180PS (177.53bhp) and peak torque of 250Nm (185 lb-ft).

Superchips’ remapped ECU increases output by 27bhp to 204bhp and torque by as much as 35Nm to 285Nm (210 lb-ft).

The program is priced at £455 inclusive of fitting and 20% VAT, and is available for order now from Superchips.
