unfortunately non of the TTE mods are in the car (except for the TTE - seemingly limited edition - exhaust system)
the box is not an Xtrac anymore, it is the standard E151F with straight cut gears and dog engagement hubs (made here in hungary). not sure if the front diff has been messed with either..

I have some experience of buying ex-team recce cars and turning them into proper rally cars. Most of them had sump / tank guards, cages, bucket seats and harnesses and suspension and brake upgrades to suit.
The Polo had a VW Motorsport ECU with a remap but otherwise standard engine.
Do you have the ratios for the Xtrac box yours has fitted? If the ratios are similar to the WRC box used in the GT4 then there's a sensible justification of using it for a recce particularly if they were making notes in a 6 fastest numbers first format maybe.
