Hi Paul, Mine was to total strip down and reboar to a 2 Lt stroker, so just about everything has been replaced from front to back, exhaust, gear box with a LSD etc. Most of the front end is off a Audi TT. It runs at around 530-550 bhp and has 4 changeable maps with the lowest at 380 bhp. The picture below is an old'ish one. I'm in the process of replacing the expansion tank, some of the plastic coolant fittings with ally ones, pipes, jubilee clips etc.. I wanted to do a few bits myself. If you can email from work, email at [email protected] and I'll see if I can the list of what was done from Bill and the parts of that helps.. Tim

What hp are you looking for? My turbo is a Garrett 25-550 and the gear box is off a Cupra R. The best person to ask is Bill at Badge 5. He has a web site and a face book page.. He's well know for mods on these engines across the UK...

Sorry but no. All the parts are gone I'm afraid.

My mk1 Octavia is going in for a engine rebuild and upgrade to 450bhp. It currently has a hybrid turbo, injectors from a Cupra R and a Toyosports FMIC. The hybrid is is a Turbo Rebuild Ltd for the 1.8T and is only a year old. The ecu with the map put on by Badger 5 in Stonehouse Gloucestershire will also come with it. Price £400 I also 2.5" as Jetex non-resonated exhaust with the ovel end. Price £80

Not yet. Its due to go in in September for the rebuild to a 2 litre Stoker so just waiting on the parts to come in. Some are from the US, turbo etc. It's going in in the next couple of weeks to get the gear box, shafts, clutch and flywheel swapped for a 6 speed off a cupra r plus a LS dif ready for the building. I keep all posted as the building goes on plus photos.

Manifold, injectors, FMIC, crank, turbo etc. The whole engine is being rebuilt along with having 3-4 map options to select from. 450bhp is the power I want but it could be more.. Once it's done, I'll post a full list of what's been done.

My Octavia is going into Badger 5 the end of March to have a full engine strip and rebuild. Should end up with 2 litre, and around 450 bhp. I'm also swapping to a 6 speed box upgrade clutch, flywheel and with bigger breaks and suspension etc. If anyone is interested, I post some pictures once it's finished in May.

The lights I'm looking at are modern redesigned ones but I can only get them for the early models up to 2000. Was the whole fitting redesigned or just the plastic face? Will a pre-face light rear light cluster fit a post face 2003 car? I'm trying to finish off a few bits prior to a full engine re-build by Badger 5 in Stroud next year. That’s going to be expensive, so I’d like to get the rest done this year, and the rear lights are on my list.

I want to replace my rear lights with newer design ones but can only seem to find ones for hatchbacks up to 2000. Does anyone know if these ones will fit a 2003 model
