@alekssir - When you say they wouldn't go down, is that on the second "auto open" switch position? If so, I had a similar problem (which bizarrely only did it when the headlight switch was in the Auto position). Eventually, I found that by locking and unlocking the rear doors using the switches on the same drivers door window control panel miraculously solved the issue. Since I did that, I've not had any issues with them.

I've also managed to swap it out, but like @JR RS I removed the front bumper. I found getting the centre clips out first was the easiest way to do it, and then work towards to each end. The 2 end clips where particular stubborn though.

I also went for AAWireless (version 2). It's worked flawlessly in a 2018 Superb, so can highly recommend.

What bhp have you managed get to? Are you done now, or do you have further plans?

Hi @Liam1809, Feel free to message me if you'd like any more details on what I've had done, and the experience I've had. My car is still at DT, as they've hit issues with the new turbo, so I don't yet know what the end result will be like. Watch this space! 👀 Keith

I've owned my 2018 Superb 280 L&K from new, and I thought about changing it last year, but there was nothing I fancied (in my price range). Since I love the car, I decided to stick with it, but looked into getting a bit more power out of it. After shopping around, I went with a couple of local businesses here in the North East of England. Firstly I went for a turbo back custom exhaust system - 3 inch bore, sport cat, back box (and hence valve) delete, and large central silencer. It's a bit loud for me (actually it's more the resonance), so I'll probably get this sorted in the future. Next, I got a Forge Intercooler, Ramair Induction Kit and Forge Muffler Delete fitted. Then it went on the dyno. I ended up with 396bhp / 526Nm (graph attached), which was pretty much where I was aiming. It was a relatively warm day when it went on the dyno, so on a colder day it possibly could have done just over 400bhp. Unfortunately, just before Christmas, my stock turbo went up in a cloud of smoke. Since then it's been in the garage, where they've mainly been waiting for parts. I've now had fitted a new Garrett Powermax Turbo (Stage 1), and upgraded HPFP, with it ready to go on the dyno next week. I'm hoping for about 480bhp, but time will tell. The biggest delay they've had though is in trying to source an upgraded LPFP. They initially thought a Golf R / Audi S3 one might fit, but this proved incorrect (hence my question to you earlier). They're going to map it with the stock LPFP in place, but if this proves to be the bottleneck, I wanted to better understand my options.

Cheers Awesam. I'll pass this info onto the garage who are doing the upgrades/tuning.

Hi @Awesam - Did you manage to source an upgraded LPFP for Superb 280? I'm in a similar position, and also struggling to find one (in the UK).
