That is a nice intake! I thought they didn’t actually make this for the Fabia…as far as the bolts you used I guess that is right😂… How doe the APR coils feel ? I finally got my car taken care off, I got the downpipe with a 200cell Cat the Forge intake and the bigger 1.4turbo..which resulted in just over 182hp and 277Nm. I am so happy with this, it just has become this fun sleeper car with just enough power to put a smile on your face. Although I wished there was a intercooler kit to keep it from heatsoaking in this hot conditions…but ah well can’t complain for that small engine. Ohw also I wished someone would have warned me that it would turn into Darth Vader with that intake😂 that will turn the heads of most people…

Thank you guys for the reply (and also the info on this topic) it helped me a lot. I am going with the bigger turbo form the 1.4, I also like to keep it less aggressive in the low rpm (hopes it helps with the fuel milage. Plus who doesn't like the kick in the ass when the turbo hits 😛 I might go with the Forge intake as well, not a big fan of the RTMG one if it is not straight bolt on. (Also cheaper anyway haha). Going to be a while to gather all the parts and fitting and tuning, will be a longer term project probably. (depending on how soon I can get the funds to do everything all at once). When the tuning is done then a KW set is on the list and if I really would go all out I might convert to a 6speed MT (have the 5 MT now 😞 )

Thank you for your answer, I trust the company who does the retune. He has experience doing this more often to 1.2TSI engines and even offers a package with turbo and tuning, so I am confident he knows what he is doing.... (I hope )

Hey Guys, Hope this thread is still alive a bit 😛 I am new to the Skoda Fabia game (and therefore to this forum) and found out recently you can get a lot more out of the engine. After speaking with the Tuning expert here, he advised me to get the 1.4 bigger turbo and get an intake and a downpipe. With this setup he told me I could run around 180hp which is "enough"....also less expensive then a hybrid.... So I got the turbo checked off the list (will be the 04E 145 721 B, can get a low mileage one for 400euros), downpipes I have some options.. But the intake might be more tricky, I has my eye on the RTMG one but it is so hard to find information about the fitment. Does anyone have some experience with this and could maybe share some pictures? I am wondering how the carbon airbag mounts to the air inlet of the car. Thank you
