Remapped and now turbo has gone
Littco do the L380 which is strengthened Core IS38 well enough to run over 400bhp. Im on my 2nd Littco turbo and they are really good turbo's, the other one I would full recommend is the Turbo Technics V4, the REVO ETR v1 was based on that. As for tuning, i think the best bet would be a Ecotune dealer due the map being custom, Revo is good for stage 1/2 with a IS38 however i think its a flash tune rather than being custom to your car.

Brakes upgrade
One of the most cost effective brake upgrade is the 4 pot calipers from a Porsche Macan which will allow you to run a 340/345mm disc so would fit under 18" wheels. A maximum of 360mm discs can fit under 18" wheels however it will depend on the caliper setup. Otherwise if you are not planning to go for more power then upgrade your pads and brake fluid which will help.

Change of tyre size for more comfort 19ich Skoda superb Sportline Hatch
I use 19's for summer, 245/40/19. Comfort is acceptable however im on coilovers so ride quality is firm. For winter i use 18", 235/45/18 and they are definitely more comfortable. Im now considering of selling the 19's and getting some lightweight 18's for summer.

MFSW with Heating & Gear Shift Paddles Retrofitting to a late 2018 Skoda Superb III DSG Estate)
Mines is Pre FL, 2015, I have installed a Mk4 Octavia VRS steering wheel which has heating options. However you will need to get 2 things which will make it an expensive mod! 1. CanBus adaptor to make the left side of the steering wheel function. If you have a FL then you may not need it as it will have latest BCM etc. 2. You need a new steering clockring and a loom from kufetec and some coding to get the heated steering wheel to work.

Big Brake Kit on the 280
BBK kits usually range from £2000+ new however you could get refurbished 4 pot calipers as low as £300 but would need to source the mount bracket, discs and brake lines. Check out facebook as they are always some on for sale.

Camshaft solenoids failure.
Mines went a few months ago but only one of them, can't remember if its the intake or exhaust one! However before that i changed the cam magnets first as they were cheap and easy to do. There is no wiring in the camshaft solenoids! only wiring is attached is to the magnets!

LPFP Upgrades
Autotech, however my first one seized as it was design flaw. E10 - 95 Ron is the weak mix over here. No times yet.

Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo TDi in Corrida Red - Subtly Modified
HI, Is it a manual or DSG?

Exhaust upgrade options
Well I've done plenty of development on mines but did cost a small fortune to get the power I'm at.
-
Exhaust upgrade options
I asked aswell via Instagram and was told that the information in the video. I did further question regarding the hpfp and the spec of the exhaust and was told they won't disclose that as then everyone would copy it.
-
Exhaust upgrade options
I think if they have put in a downpipe, its with a cat. specs of it will most likely to be a 3" turbo or cat back system.

What have you done to your Superb III today?

Superb sleeper
It's surprising how much traction this is getting even though Michael from this forum has done it 7 years earlier with 560bhp and then 3 years ago he inspired me to push it further.

Tire recommendations
I hated the Pirelli's P7, Im using Michelin Pilot Sport 5 for the summer and Crossclimate 1's for winter. Both have been great.

MIB update from 2.0 to 2.5 compatible with Virtual Cockpit?
Thanks, I have Travel Assist function via the stalk so may be just a case of reassigning it.

MIB update from 2.0 to 2.5 compatible with Virtual Cockpit?
Update: The cruise control button doesn't work so most likely i will need to code that via obd 11 or VCDS and turn the stalk for it off. However, I'm not fussed at the moment along with the heated function - i will get to that in the future.

MIB update from 2.0 to 2.5 compatible with Virtual Cockpit?
so when I installed the steering wheel, the left side buttons work straight away along with the Paddles which i didnt have in the MK3 Steering wheel. The right side button didnt work apart from the silver scroller and driving assist button (circled in green in the pic). Now with this adaptor: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/radio-adapter-can-bus-decoder-22/canbus-adapter-reduction-for-steering-wheel-2/, full version, i confirm i can operate the menu/options such nav, audio etc (circled in white). I haven't tested the cruise control button yet (circled in orange) but will report back later. As for the red circled button, i think thats for Virtual Dash only, otherwise i would have expected that to be the back/return to menu button. Thanks @zacko_O for the links, it helped me stop overthinking it!.
