Both equally as good. You’re redeemed.

The only thing I’d worry about is puddles. You don’t want water being sucked up into the intake. Just something to bear in mind when it’s chucking it down.

I’ll pretend I never read this…

Plenty of guides around. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/175-skoda-octavia-guides/ Here's one for the doors -

If it hasn’t been messed with, that what standard power feels like. When I went to stage 1 on my black VRS, the difference was shocking. Purely because of the amount of torque that was gained from a Shark Remap. I’ve since gone stage 2. But, I have a completely standard VRS and it’s almost painful to drive as there is no get up and go. It’s just like a you say, a linear power delivery). It’s that noticeable that even my PD130 feels quicker because I have more torque being a diesel. So I’m finding it more fun to drive. My stage 2 on the other hand, is completely different, but there is still a limit on torque, which is around 300. My PD130 would get 280/300 ft-lbs from a stage 1 alone. I never planned to get the Red one mapped. But I’ve since found out that it was previously mapped by Ben at Shark, but has since been removed and returned to stock due to the the last owner complaining of poor MPG. But, in the new year I plan to see Niki at R-Tech and just have a stage 1 on it.

It may also be worth buying some new bolts for the liner. As you can bet that the ones on there now will be rusted and, you may need to cut them off. You can get bags of 10s/20s of them so you can replace them as you go around.

The wheel does need to come off. Invest in a jack as it’s well worth the money.

There’s also a chance you only need the clutch and not the whole kit. It was most likely that a new flywheel was installed with doing the SMF.

£900?? Have you got a 6 speed? As the 02J setup (5-speed) is only £350 without vat? I paid £400.28 delivered when I got mine.

… Wow, was only £220 the other day! I was checking it for someone else. I went for the 10KG to give a normal road application. Even for my driving style, I’m not going to be Rev matching and engine braking through towns to justify the 7KG.

Can’t complain with the Darkside kit. Pricey but rated to 300ft-lbs. Holds the power well and with launch control. 😂

Someone sell me their WRC. Thank you kindly.

Just shows you what these cars are capable of..

Go see Niki at R-Tech… He won’t disappoint you. I just said the same in the other topic. And, I’m planning to go see him sometime, but theres a long wait list, so I’ll be getting the Red one to stage one only and I need my Black one retuned at stage 2 to refine it.

Highly, highly recommended! It’s how it should’ve left the factory, it’s that noticeable. Advice. It will show any weak links in the system, so budget for a new clutch and coil packs, as you’re putting more pressure on the engine. If you’re going to remap, do it properly too. Get a full custom dyno remap as it will be tailored to your car and give the best performance. Also choose your fuel and stick with it. The torque gains are nice and give the ability to overtake without have to change down gear just to get past someone. No other mods are needed either. But do clean out the intercooler, as it maybe covered in crap.

You can, my Red one was originally done by Ben at Shark Performance (all done via the OBD2 port). But, for some reason the owner before me claimed it was using to much fuel and had the remap taken off by a VW/Skoda specialist and the original factory one put back on. Even though mine is staying OEM, I would still like a remap on it, as standard, it’s no fun, and very slow. I’d really recommend getting a stage 1 map, and a custom one at that. Because you will notice the difference going back to stock. I’ll be going to see Niki at R-Tech hopefully at some point to have mine done. If the car is stage 2, it needs the supporting mods in order to achieve it. You need a bigger front mount, either a decat or sports cat 200cell down pipe and a nice free flowing system.

Sending over.

Reference image - I hope it's right, it may not be. But, it's the only one I can find.

I can't find out what the text in the corner is meant to be, I would gather the postcode... @a1topdog If you can confirm, I can update it. I believe I've used the right font on the URL.

I think I'll be able to recreate this for you. Give me some time and I'll reply back with a design.

Excellent work! Nicely done. Heated seats for the win in winter. 😌

Done well to find them, have yet to come across a set close to me from a 5 door to go in mine. 😁

Yeah, a learning curve as I’ve always worked on the 1.8T. Some stuff as been easier to do though.

I pretty much bought mine sight unseen. Saw it advertised and picked it up. 😂 I took a gamble as it had the extra spec I wanted. I have the PD130 ASZ, it’s completely standard, apart from some cement from the previous owners lol. Here’s my project. I wouldn’t say it’s been neglected, but it clearly needed an overhaul and I’m still working my way through it.
