As some of you might now by reading the Polar FIS+ vs E-MFA, I wanted to buy one of these products. But first, I found out I needed a new steering wheel controller. So I bought one...
New vs Old:
Unfortunately I had some problems coding it and after seeing that I need 350+ EURO to have the Polar FIS (or around 300 EURO to have the E-MFA) working I decided it was not worth the hassle. So I returned the steering wheel controller and forgot about the Polar FIS.
One more interesting thing I discovered a week ago, the K&N Cold Air Intake has NO effect on performance. I had a few runs with a friend, with a similar 1.4 TSI engine, with and without the K&N filter, and we were neck and neck. So, even if some logs show an increase of boost, I am afraid there are NO benefits...
But I will still use the K&N intake occasionally because it sounds awesome.

I would not make a track day without my Polar Fis as i use it to monitor the oil temp, intake temp, water temp and general state of the car during each stint. 2 track days ago when i saw 141 degrees celsius i called the stint off to save the engine so as stated no track days without my Polar Fis :happy2:

I never had any overheating issues with mine :smiley:.
Don't forget I only have 160gbp, similar to you having 230bhp...
I wanted to have the Polar FIS installed but considering the costs and the benefits, it's just not worth it at the moment.

And since I had some money to spend, I couldn't help myself and I got myselft another set of rims :grin:
They are BBS VZ 032 8x17 ET50 (just like the ones I already have). :laugh:
They are brand new and I got them for virtually peanuts. They were at clearance and all four cost less than one Polar FIS+ :confused:...
I still have no idea what I'll be doing with them (I might sell them, or the old BBS rims, or I might sell the Team Dynamics set).

rex:
Well, I will reconsider the Polar FIS if I have more bhp (aka above 180)...
