pardon my french,
Bought my first Skoda, yet bieng half Czech its clearly been too long a wait!
Since I have a fully worked large turbo Golf R '16 that isnt so family friendly, I found the cheapest Skoda Superb 206kw in the country and bought it sight unseen.
Black on black sedan
Plate = "SCHKUD"
I knew it wouldnt stay stock for long. Im ex motorsport engineer so always mucking with the cars. But for the SCHKUD it wasnt an open checkbook do everything possible, just make it much faster and make it enjoyable to drive. Love the active cruise and Canton sounds. Like a nightclub on wheels.
Car felt big and sloppy to drive despite the DCC.
Whiteline lowering springs, Whiteline swaybars, billet end links, Whiteline front anti-lift & bump steer correction bushes have helped no end! Stock control arm bushes had started to rip.
Got a custom stage 2 tune from an Audi engineer in Germany using Alientech hardware for the upload. Custom DSG tune. 4" pie cut down pipe and full exhaust to stock OEM rear box.
Dropped effective diff ratio from 3.44 OEM to 3.562 by changing to 235/35/19 Hankook RS232 semi slicks. Noticeable gain in aceleration, now just dipping into the 3's, circa flat 4 0-60mph.
Serviced everything, diff oils, DSG, haldex, etc.
Changing dogbone puck helped no end.
Now preparing for the power part, Garrett G25-660, Autotech HPFP, RS3 LPFP and RS3 EKP and 1050cc MPI injectors and wagner tube fin larger intercooler inc. a meth spray kit sitting on the dining table.
Will make use of a local dyno for the tuning for the stage 3.
Will run a fairly conservative tune to soften the mid range to help the engine, see how long the DQ250 lasts.
I have a DQ351 7spd in the garage, but isnt the first choice if I can get hold of a DQ500
