Thank you John, Yes at last. I'll speak to you soon in DM. Hope you having/had great time away.

Thank you, and yes absolutely. I'm glad I'm not the type of person to just believe blindly but question everything. I almost started to think that it wasn't meant to be....i have ordered my stage 2 parts in January this year and that same company went into administration....you couldn't make that up.

Little update since i posted about my Superb 280 going stage 2 back in may. I have questioned the high torque figure ( 618nm) with the tuner and was assured that it's a safe map, ok i left it at that. Three days after remap, car starts burning oil without even being pushed hard. So i switched to thicker 5w40 Castrol Edge ( issue rectified) Week later i pinned it from traffic lights and car cut power after 5000rpm. Gear changes felt really rough and jerky. Questioned it with the tuner, got nowhere.... Then i found on here someone who had similar issues after going to stage 2 and they recommended speaking to Kalam at Russell Road & Racing. From start he was very helpful and informative. I decided to buy one of his dongles and run few logs for him. I was really unhappy when he run me through all the issues he found after my not so professional stage 2 remap.... 1- huge overboost in midrange that went beyond sensor capacity so we couldn't tell how much it was actually putting out 2- car running lean at certain scenarios 3- all the injectors were maxxed out to the point where one started dosing less than others 4- in other scenarios it was over fueling 5- LPFP wasn't configured properly and not providing adequate amount of fuel 6- during overboost it would loose traction in 3rd gear So yeah it hasn't been greatest of experiences and i would certainly advise anyone to do a proper research and before they give their pride and joy to some amateur who doesn't know what they doing. Luckily nothing serious happened to my superb while having the original map. Kalam has provided me fresh ECU and TCU files then with few more updated calibration maps the car is running sweet as anything, power delivery is smooth and linear, no rough upshifts or downshifts, no overheating. Best £431 spent so far 💪🏻 Old power output 390bhp and 618nm New figures after few tweaks some major some minor 405hp 550nm Also added some pops and burbles switchable by driving mode ( this is a first version of pops, they have now been brought down a bit to more OEM sound )VID_20260703_180850~4.mp4

Budget tyres and soft suspension on Superb isn't a great combo. I have 2018 superb 280 and until i upgraded the suspension it used to be very floaty...had a hairy moment on Autobahn few years back at around 120mph going over slightl bump and strong side wind....and that was with Conti Sport 7 tyres. Upgraded front and rear anti roll bars and fitted Bilstein B6 Performance shock absorbers two years ago and it made lot of difference

Absolutely love this built, so much love and passion gone into Gandalf. He must be the happiest superb under sun 🌞 💪🏻

Talking of bad influence of this forum 🤪 i bought my superb so i will finally have car that doesn't need anything else out of the box....10k + spent later i wonder 😂

You will get to it when you ready 😊 small steps every time 👍🏻

I've looked into it but wasn't 100% convinced...you can do simple conversion or buy LED upgrade kit. I'm quite happy with current set up as it is 😊

Yes fog lights have been done also. Same make and model of fog light bulbs but halogen, need to get picture of them, definitely whiter than originals

I had this happen on my 2018 sportline 280...replaced driver's side rear, three weeks later other rear failed so ended up changing both. Checked fuses, wiring etc, swapped both units and yeah it was dead....220 quid per side

Just had new bulbs fitted to replace old factory xenon bulbs. I went for D3S Osram Xenarc Blue Intense and they are fantastic. Car is Superb Sportline 280 year 2018

Just wanted to share a before and after pics of new bulbs fitted to my Superb. D3S Osram Xenarc Blue Intense to replace old factory bulbs. New bulbs are definitely brighter and have nice modern look with more more crisp light output. Thought it might help someone if they're deciding what bulbs to fit. Second photo are the Osram bulbs

I love the look of your car with all the add ons makes it look quite mean 😎

Those are nice figures from stage 1+ 😎 Yes the JB4 has been faithful companion of my superb since 2021 and not a single fault with it. Its just like you say you can only get so much out of it. Luckily there is no MOT where i live for now 😁 but still i wanted to keep my downpipe road legal 😑

Those are some decent figures i bet it surprises few unsuspecting cars that want to play 🤪 Did you think about going for stronger internals? What front splitter is it on your? Maxton? I'd love to go stage 3 might be an idea for next year 😂

Yes yes pre-gpf, but it doesn't feel much faster on pull than JB4, it feels more civilised 😁 if that makes sense

Thank you JR RS, It is completely different car now. Plenty of smiles yesterday 😁😁😁 My tuner said he could go higher on power but i just wanted safe reliable map usable for everyday driving. He has added some nice burble on overrun but compared to JB4 tune this map is nowhere near as loud as before which i quite like. Soft limiter has also been removed. Do you still own your Superb?

Had my superb stage 2 tuned and so far i love it 😁 Work and parts fitted BCS Powervalve downpipe with sport cat 200 cell Wagner Intercooler ECS tuning intake duct Ramair panel filter Ramair turbo elbow Ramair inlet pipe NGK R7437-9 plugs Stage 2 engine tune Stage 2 DSG tune Prior to this i also had all the fluids changed and full service carried out. More photos and videos to follow

So here we go...i know this has been covered loads of times on here. Looking to lower my superb 280 sportline 2018 just a bit to get rid of that arch gap without it going too low as i use it daily. It doesn't have DCC. Car has some suspension upgrades already ( Bilstein B6 Performance shocks, H&R anti roll bars front and rear, Whiteline droplinks front and rear) Can someone please help me to choose correct Eibach springs? 🙏🏻 I get really confused with all the options Eibach has, Passat B8, Golf GTE, Audi Q2, Skoda Kodiaq etc Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for the heads up mate. I won't be using it on track days or any racing. So I'll just keep them DS2500s on front and rear will stay OEM for now

That looks sick 😍

Was thinking to do rears too but they are staying OEM. Won't be putting doing track days or anything in them 😊

No coding required as far as I'm aware. Only thing is that brake pad wear wire is now been disabled so i won't get brake pad wear light but i never let it run down that low anyway so not bothered about that

They are indeed 😎 thank you
