What is the underboost problem and how did you diagnose it?

Hi Drew, I believe that I may have a similar problem with my Octy 1.4 TSi - can you describe the symptoms you were getting?

Hey Phil, did you ever take the plunge and buy yourself an uprated exhaust?

Hi Phil, as it happens I have been considering the answer to the exact same question. And I think I may have found a solution for both of us! https://www.fox-sportauspuff.de/ Their catalogue seems to cater for the 1.4 TSI, I have a 2011 Octy Estate. I've chipped it using the Superchips Bluefin and installed a K&N filter inside the airbox but I think that the breathing is pretty restricted by the OEM exhaust. FOX appear to do two different centre sections, one without the centre box! I've discovered that these are available here: https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheapest/fox.html Are you actually based in Germany as per your user profile?

Agreed, love the Octavia II shape especially in facelift trim. I've just purchased myself a very similar 2011 Octy 1.4T SE Plus Estate in black - will post some pictures when I've picked her up!

I'm very interested in getting one of these for my 2007 1z Octavia vRS. Would you recommend? When you have time a list of the pros and cons you have had since installing would be much appreciated.

I've now got the dreaded ABS light on constantly problem too! Wondering what steps I should take to troubleshoot, anyone have any advice?

This is exactly what I am planing to do so thanks for the post! Have you got any pictures of the amp location? Also what did youy think of your Xtrons unit? I'm installing one too!

Hello, is that RARB still available and would you know if it also is a straight swap for a Mk2 Octy?

Now by a very happy coincidence I have just bought exactly this same sub to go into my Octy Mk2 as well!! Would you have any advice for me on the fitting of it? I plan to do exactly the same and install under the passenger seat. Pictures would be awesome if you have any!!

I too have remapped mine and the clutch is also slipping, so will be following this topic with interest. Let's hope it gets some replies!!

Hi there! You've been doing exactly the same as I have this weekend, I've managed to get the trim panel off but I did break a few of the clips doing so. Just give it a good hard yank with your tool of choice and it will come away from the inner door skin. You will need replacement clips though!!

Of course Ant's opinion is completely subjective, you are best to try and go and listen to one and see what you think.

Could be of interest - do you know if there is a Skoda airbag available that one could swap if they were so inclined?
