It's going back in on the 30th for a smoke test in case there's a boost leak and they'll look it over they are also going to talk to the company who mapped it to see if they can think of anything as they said they've rad revo mapped cars where the maps turned off when the battery has been disconnected for too long

So 2017 oct vrs (remapped), I had the boost actuator fail, conveniently the water pump failed as well. Any ways had them both replaced at a local independent garage. And now it's like the remap has been removed or there's a huge boost issue ...the new turbo is an IHI TURBO model number is 28084-00 does anyone have any clues on what could have happened

Thaught id start a project thread while i do the odd bit here and there....having come from an r53 and f56 mini by christ its a big car🤣 Some what of a poverty spec in vrs terms,but only 14k on a 2017 plate so it was too good a deal to pass up on. Thaught it was a 220bhp model but turns out it had 230 on the dyno. Told myself id keep it stock now ive got a "grown up sensible car" Sooooo first mod was an apr open filter. Ummmed and aaahd about remapping it for a while, read very cobtrasting things about revo vs other companies and could the clutch take it etc ...got advise on here that it should be fine so i thaught sod it Booked it in at west yorkshire tuning having seen them repeatedly reccomended on octavia groups and had it mapped and made a tasty 320 bhp. Realised soon after on full boost heavy acceleration that the revs did a little dip, so ive upgraded the standerd intake hose and turbo elbow to a vagsport hose and turbo elbow to increase air flow and it seems to have resolved tge issue. And thats about it for now

Its pretty bluddy fantastic now like, as i say next is some spark upgrades and some intake stuff, running apr open filter but standard hoses

Ive always stayed away from supermarket pumps like tesco and asda since ive had higher power "performance" engines, always tried to use v power or bp ultimate if i cant get to a shell garage 🤣 but might try the tesco momentum next refuel Was also pleased that on the way home from mapping i was givin it the odd bootfull and still got 38mpg

I only ever fill up with v power

Im super happy with it, ill probably do some simple supporting stuff in the coming months like uprated spark plugs coil packs etc

Update ....i bit the bullet after everybodies advice and got it mapped turns out the 220 had 230 to begin with so that was good ...been advised to check the wheel balance and possible wheel bearing issue as he said at 100mph its super loud absolute obscene gains...did a few pulls on the way home n wow what a transformation the 60-80 time in fourth especially its sooo much faster now i would highly recommend west yorkshire tuning 👍👍👍

Cars only just ticked over 17k so the clutch should be fairly strong ..and i dont expect to be doing rediculous launches from the lights and ripping the clutch, im 34 and its an estate 🤣 its more for overtaking and just having that exra power, think im just goin to go for it. Company seems well thaught of on the vrs owners groups on facebook so ill trust the public that its a solid choice, and that i dont need to waste a grand on a new clutch

Whats peoples take on remapping on the stock manual clutch revo appears to be against it apr do a low tprque map but ive seen west yorkshire tuning reccomended alot on vrs groups on facebook and they said its fine 🤔 so now i dont know what to do 🤣

Looking at getting the resonated scorpion system....im assuming the fitment is the same for both saloon and estate??? As ive not seen an option to choose body style???

Haha wait so you know it from being in ireland before i bought it 🤣 also thats hilarious cause the photo was taken at my parents house in ulverston ...i had to borrow there drive to clean it as im stuck with on street parking at mine

First skoda ive had ..nearly got a fabia vrs years ago but instead i got a r53 cooper-s that i had some fun with ..then got the bigger f56 cooper sd. Now ive fully grown up and got a full on dad mobile land barge 🤣 bluddy love it though 2017 plate and only 14k on the clock Allready added an apr filter though Considering getting the clutch done and remapped

First skoda ive owned, Its poverty spec as the vrs goes, is what im learning It ticks all my boxes though its bigger than the mini i had before it, its quick enough still and its not boring
