crazy taxi

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, Last year I bought an octavia rs and put it on as a taxi. I had it converted to dual fuel (lpg gas / petrol).

It was fine if a little slow, so I fitted a k&n induction kit, improvements where felt.

Next I took it to this bloke who put different codes in the engine, imediatly there was a massive increase in power and tourqe.......BUT when under half throttle the engine stutters and stalls and sometimes the turbo makes a pop.

Then you can see if Jabba or someone can do a proper job.
