Milltek Non-Resonated Catback System
The exhaust sounds great. Stage 1 tune or even a JB4 will really wake it up

MK3 octavia VRS 405bhp
Late reply, but 10.5 is about the best I've managed. Need to get a proper Draggy now

Might this be the best (worst) VRS TFSI dyno ever? Ideas for solutions?
Cat converter blockage maybe? Just thinking out loud 🤪

New DSG paddles
They won't react with the airbag 😊

It is an electronic waste gate but that wouldn't really explain the fuel dump, those AFRs are pretty bad. What are the knock sensors and fuel trims doing? How is fuel pressure, high and low, looking? Any codes showing up at all on the scanner?

Skoda Kodiaq vRS to be removed from sale due to emissions rules
Local news site saying today that it's to be replaced with a petrol version, likely the 272 from the Superb: https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/2022-skoda-kodiaq-rs-facelift-to-ditch-diesel-in-australia How awesome would a Kodiaq VRS petrol be... slap on a hybrid IS38 and you have yourself a 450hp SUV

MK3 octavia VRS 405bhp
That 100-200 time is insane... Unicorn seem to do some seriously impressive tuning. Mine is IS38 too and I can't come close to that. Lovely car

Engine sounds like a TC auto kicking down when boost comes on, but car is manual
The performance monitor is absolute pressure ie. doesn't account for barometric pressure which is somewhere around 14.5 psi. So that would be around 20-22 psi boost, guessing that's with your tuning box?

Yep boost should peak around 15 - 17psi (these engines work on a torque targeting sort of program so it can vary depending on temps, fuel etc) so it looks like you have a stage 1 tune. The dealer won't know who's tune you have but they can see how many times the ecm has been flashed and match that up with their records. The clutches on these are pretty fragile as soon as you start winding the boost up🙄

Best panel filters / intake systems for petrol VRS
I had a K&N panel filter in mine for a while, it fitted well and seemed to flow fine. Some people get problems with the MAP sensor because they over-oil the sht out of the filter. Pipercross style foam filter is also good. Full cone intake can get expensive but not much separates the cheap from the expensive as far as flow goes. Any noticeable differences will probably be seen from changing the inlet elbow and the intake hose.

MK3 Octavia front doors seem a bit small
Yeah me too, i'm 6'1 and have my seat right back and the steering wheel right back and the B pillar is a too far forward. The plastic trim on the b pillar has scuffs on it from when I slide over it to get in

What would you change about your Octavia?
Me three... I had an extended test drive of a SsangYong Musso the other day (don't judge me it's actually a cracking good ute for the price) and was surprised how much I missed the 360 camera when I gave it back

Gizmo68 Superb L&K MKIII
Very nice Gizmo, I saw some reviews of the Polestar and it seems like an excellent choice in the current world of EV's. (pun not intended) I would love to upgrade the Octy to a quick EV one day. Any plans for the 335i?

Cost/hours to fit lowering springs
The front springs are a fairly labour intensive job, 2 hours would be very optimistic even with two people working on it. I think I paid 600AUD at a dealer (but got thoroughly ripped off though)

Goodbye vRS TDi... hello 245 challenge!
Great looking car mate you will love it. That colour is super handsome I've done an IS38 conversion, roughly 380 bhp and it handles it nicely... no regrets here
