Floop

Again thank you guys so much for the help. After all I just been told I doubt I'll be chasing more power I think keeping the car mostly stock and just making some mods that improve handling aswell as increase power very slightly is probably the smarter and safer option, the car has also been recalled under the recall code 34H5. With all that being said I'm still interested in asking a few questions just out of curiosity. With my car specifically, would you say the limiting factor for higher power figures is the dq200 transmission or are there other things I'd need to know about the engine or other components? Also for future reference what are some general engine internals, transmission parts or other car components that I need to keep in consideration when chasing higher power for any car? Finally, what are some car modifications I can make to achieve more power for any car? I understand that not everyone has time to draft an In depth response to these questions so if there are any resources you guys can direct me to where I can learn to answer these questions for myself. Thanks again.

@PetrolDave Thanks for letting me know, what do you recommend I do to get around this problem or is it just not worth the hassle? I'd also like to ask, how bad the Increase of power is for the transmission?

@Ootohere Hey mate, thanks for the advice, the car is currently at 180ps and is a DSG I'm also looking for some good road tyres.

Hi All, I'm new to the world of cars but I'm highly interested in them and looking to learn more about my 2014 Skoda Octavia elegance and cars in general. My main goal is to make more HP to have a bit of fun, I'm looking to make about 250-300 HP, is this reasonable or am I pushing what my engine is capable of handling? Are there any modifications that you'd recommend, and what do I need to know before making them? I am a complete novice but I'm willing to learn. Just so you know my car is the fwd 1.8L turbo 4cyl. I would also like to ask what tyres you would recommend for the above HP figures or just in general. All the tyres on the car have been different since I bought it. Thanks in advance.
