How To: Remove / Delete SAI , N249 and N112
drew_smith replied to Bowders1's topic in Skoda Octavia Guides
Sorry to bring thos back up. Just to confirm, am I correct there is only 3 resistors needed. one for SAI and two for the N249 and 112. so 3 on total??? -
yeah iv seen some videos on making a boost leak test kit. Think I will go that route Thanks
-
Mine is definitely under boosting then. I can hear a hissing from the right hand side when I accelerate
-
Thanks very much. that confirmed my suspicion. But my next question!! What should a revo stage 1 remap produce. taking in mind iv just jad a brand new borg amd warner genuine k03s turbo fitted Thanks
-
Ok If someone could help please. I have borrowed my friends bluetooth Odb11 reader for the reason that I think my car lacks power and boost. So iv connected the odb11 and used the boost widget and im only getting a boost of around 12.25 psi My car is remapped to stage1 revo. Now my next question is. with it being bluetooth and not mechanical like a boost guage, will it give a correct reading if there is a boost leak??? Please help x

I will check it out. the window has not been opened for a while so think I will take it apart as it could always be jammed -
Hi people. Im quite sure this has been covered before so I'm sorry if it has but I cant find an exact post. Anyway! Iv gone to wind my rear drivers electric windows down today from the front "this also goes for trying from the back" on my octavia vrs mk1 and all I get is a slight click sound and the window does not move. Iv previously had to replace my front before as the cable went and I could hear the motor turning which said it was not the motor. But the strange thing is with my rear window is that it is firmly in the up position and it wont go down. you cant even push it down with your hands either side of the window. All others window work fine, the only noise I get is a slight click. Can anyone please shine a light on this problem. Much appreciated Drew

Hi mate and thanks for your reply The main reason I want to do it is so I can have the bottom and top end built at the same time as Im starting to notice rattle in mine. And getting a stroker kit with all its parts and boring the block seems to cover rebuilding my engine Obviously there are going to be some new ancillary parts gettong put on. iv seen a kit that does not need to have the clearnce changed for the new crank and with the set up im looking at it also does not need to have a modification for the oil pump. Iv literally just had a new ko3s genuine turbo put in mine. so im thinking get the stroker kit installed with my current turbo, then after when i decide which turbo to go with i can then upgrade. Whats your thoughts Also if you have any good infor from any sites in regards to strokers and where to buy them id appreciate that. Thanks

Hi people. Im sure this post may of been covered before but I cant seem to find any info on it. I have my trusty 1.8t vrs 52 plate and im trying to find out which is the best route to take of either a stroker kit or to rebuild my top and bottom end. also if I rebuilt my top and bottom end would I benefit from having a hybrid turbo, or would going down the route of the stroker kit be the better option as this is bacically a engine rebuild. Also if i was to get the stroker kit what turbo would be a good option. and on the other hand if i was to just rebuild top and bottom, Ie new bearings and cam would there be much different in power with a hybrid compared to the stroker with a gt turbo Im seriously looking at getting this done next year so any advise would be appreciated Kind regards Drew

Im thinking of doing the SAI delete along with the others. Iv just had a miktek catback and new coilovers. So which induction can you recommend?
-
Just a quick question. When starting the car first time and the SAI opens and your car sounds more throaty untill the SAI turns off. Is there anyway to get that constant throaty sound, or is it as simple as get a induction kit. Cheers
