Generic Map on a Hybrid Turbo ?
Harry1212 replied to Graffiti's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
There's plenty of good mappers who can do it all online for you, I hear the name John from Hidden Power quite a bit on this forum so got to be decent. -
You will definitely need a custom remap to suit the hybrid turbo.

It's not 2006, proper custom maps from reputable places only cost £150-£200 these days not like back in the day when you'd be looking at £350+

How accurate is the dyno because i've heard people running almost 30bhp off what they were actually running -
The Airtec intercooler is perfect, I didn't buy their pipe kit though just the intercooler, too many joints for my liking, went with Darkside's pipe kit

Anyone had their Fabia undersealed?
Harry1212 replied to Harry1212's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Thank you for the replies and advice, definitely a great help, i'm going to go through with it -
My 53 plate is getting a little old now and they are prone to rust, I plan on keeping the car for a while and try to keep on top of it in terms of keeping it clean and protected but I have never cleaned it underneath so thinking about getting it undersealed before the winter. I have a few rust spots on the rear quarter and on the edge of the arch on one side of the car where I also happen to have a scuff which is due to be sorted out and resprayed, so I can get the rust treated at the same time.

Diesel tuning is still at it's early stages, after going down the hybrid route myself i've discovered that if you want reliability then you should just stick to a simple stage 1 map from standard to 170/180bhp

I've ran a GT1756 hybrid at 235bhp and 340lbft on a brand new standard Sach's clutch and flywheel, both changed about 2 months earlier and no slipping at all

And there seem to be a lot of problems with these turbos, maybe it's just one supplier in particular but I have not heard about anything negative about the Darkside one or even other companies such as Turbo Dynamics

Phil Cooper at TRP Developments recently tested one and found that particular unit was only capable of holding around 1.8 bar and around 215bhp
