hello all I've had a read through the forum and cant seem to find an answer to my question. I've got a vrs 51 plate on 92k the steering wheel isn't straight and you have to hold the car in a straight line if you take you hands off the wheel it jumps to the left. I've had it laser tracked by two different people the second time was told it was 3 degrees out the set it but the wheel still wasn't straight and the car still pulled. I've since replace the anti roll bar D bushes and the lower arm bushes with the TT solid ones. ive got a slight knocking which sounds like a drop link im going to replace next week. is there anything else i should change before getting it tracked again? or is there anything else i should be looking for? I've checked tyres pressures as do them once a month ive swapped the wheels left to right but still does the same. my dads suggested changing wheels front to back but cant see this making any difference. its really bugging me now i just wanna get it sorted. thanks for any advice chris

pd130 turbo upgrade - 150 straight swap?
Snowey_vRS replied to ogri_dog's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
i had a pd150 golf and when i thought my turbo had gone i was looking around for an aftermarket one not an upgrade just not one in a vw box and a few sites listed the 130 and 150 as the same turbo. i know it doesn't 100% answer your question but i always thought they was the same it was other bits that gave the higher power -
OMG - brace yourself before opening the ebay link!

FRONT STEERING RACK BUSHES Powerflex
Snowey_vRS replied to DSS199's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
what difference do these bushes make? -
I've slowed down since getting my vrs as I've gone from a 50+mpg derv to doing 27mpg in the vrs lol
-
only going by what I've read on here no need to be so arsey.

if you already have it remapped i think theres very little exra you can get from the standard turbo think 225bhp is tops and a remap takes you to around 210 you would need a upgraded intercooler of some kind a decat and exhaust system anything over that and i think you will need a bigger turbo and going stage 2

ok cool thats my weekend job sorted lol what should they be standard?
-
what should they be gapped to? i wasn't told to re-gap mine
