I am interested in turning my 122bhp engine into the 138bhp that the Octy III has. Shark doesn't seem to offer such a retune, but Revo has something similar on their web page. Overall, remaps for the 1.4 122 seem very rare.

 

Has anyone here done any tuning or remap of this engine? Anyone who done this with a DSG? Ideally, I'd like a self-tune.

There are remaps available from Shark for the 1.4tsi

Thanks Ant. How weird - I could have sworn that wasn't coming up when I searched two days ago. My eyesight must be going...

If the car is 2009 onwards, the car will have protected ECU and to tune will require the ECU to be removed.

Is it for dsg or manual gear engine?

It's for a DSG.

Try bsr.se

Swedish company, 150 bhp

How much torque does the dsg handle at max nm?

if its the same box as the vrs way more than the 1.4 could give out lol

DQ200 7 speed has an engineering rating of 200Nm.  The point wher it becomes (more) unreliable & mtbf becomes unacceptable is anyones guess.  IMO, they are a pretty lousy gearbox in the first place

OK, it seems there are some "boxes" out there that may work:

Example: http://www.racechip.com/chiptuning/skoda/octavia/octavia-2/1-4-tsi-92kw/index.php

http://www.bsr-tuning.co.uk/products/t1776/

 

There are remappings that are advertised for approximately this engine/gearbox combination but with caveats around decryption and having to visit a centre to read the ECU (as suggested also by Ant above). Finally, there are solutions advertised that do not mention any such issues with encryption etc.

I will just have to contact some of these companies and see what they say - once I have something definitive, I'll update this thread.

 

Which companies have been known to give a discount to Briskoda members? I seem to recall that Shark has done so in the past.

Isn't the DQ200 the same 7 speed DSG box used in the 1.6 TDI? As that has a max torque rating of 250 Nm.

yeah, my mistake - 250Nm.

 

Thanks for correcting that
