I thought I would take this chance to introduce myself to the forum. I have only recently purchased my Skoda Octavia and for once in my life have joined an owners website!! i have a couple of question but will pop them in the other forums.

Cheers

Welcome to Briskoda, SD

What kind of Octy did you buy?

I ummed and erred between the 4x4 Turbo and the TDi Elegance Estate. Economy won the day so I now own a 2000 110 TDi Elegance in Dynamic Blue ( I am a sucka for the colour!!) - and very impressed I am too - an excellent car, just put the K&N in which has given it a little more life.

Currently reading though the posts to suss out what is the best way of upping the power - I have looked at APR but I see that there are quite a few other options available.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Many thanks for the welcome.

I would have gone for that colour if they did the vRS in it!

Welcome on board! I'm sure our resident dynamic blue owner will be along shortly...

Yep, just like that strange old uncle we all have, Denis will be along soon

Welcome to Briskoda :wave:

This isn't the same Salad Dodger from UKRM is it?

welcome SD........

it becomes addictive i assure you!!!!!!!

Yay another Diesel owner, welcome mate .

Now you need to chip it, it makes a real difference

Not the same Salad Dodger from UKRM I'm afraid!!

So any tips about the chipping?? The only one I have investigated so far is the APR install with the lockout controlled through the cruise control. Does anyone have any experience of this - pros / cons???

I have seen the word Jabba thrown around alot as well - is this a better system on the whole??

I know, I have only just joined and it is questions, questions, questions!!!!!!

I have the need for Dynamic Blue Speed though, my other half has a Leon TDi Cupra so realistically I need to gain a few BHP in order to maintain 'trouser wearing' status in the house!!!!!

Re: chipping try a search as there is soo much information on this site.

Jbs auto designs do a very good "re-map" for a good price give them a ring see what your going to get out of it mate, the fabia goes from 130 bhp to 180 so i'm not sure what yours will do mate :-) He's on the slippery slope
