are there any injectors compatible with 1.2tsi. I've got an intake, and will be getting and turbo from the 1.4 fitted and a cat-back exhaust so looking into upgrades around the fueling side prior to a custom remap

The injectors from the 1.4tsi will fit, whether they're actually larger, i can't say. There are numerous part numbers used in the 1.2/1.4s with some of them being shared (possibly just the 122/125bhp variant of the 1.4). 

Yeah, that's what I couldn't make head nor tail of. If the same are used in the 1.4 then surely they won't be an overly limiting factor for a 1.2. Seems like too much effort for the time being

Hybrid turbos take the 1.4 up towards 230bhp with the stock injectors, it would seem they're plenty capable for the 1.2.

That's great then, they shouldn't be a limiting factor for me. I don't really have a target figure in mind and I don't want to strain the DSG too much. Just need to get on and fit the turbo. Really missing the power added by the racechip, I doubt it was the quoted 20bhp bit it is very noticeable now it's gone.

I've had a 1.0TSI 95PS for the past 3 weeks whilst my cars had it's gearbox replaced for the second time, and going back to my 90PS 1.2TSI it's quite noticeable, they definitely pulled it back at high rpm to get that low down. All that will change on the 29th though, as that'll be when it gets mapped to ~170-175bhp

I just read about your 1.0tsi experience on another post. I'm struggling to find the time to fit my turbo at the moment. I wanted to try today but got stuck with other stuff. I've got a garage full of parts to fit and no time to fit them! A smooth 170 would be great in this little car, it would fly! Got some bilstein B8s on the way, I hope they will sort out the crashy ride

I got my own car back this afternoon (though it has another issue it's going back for tomorrow), and it really took me by surprise how stiff the pre facelift mk3's are (i didnt notice any difference when i fitted the eibachs, other than it was lower and cornered a little flatter). The 1.0tsi ive had was insanely softly sprung, brakes were very gentle and progressive, alot of body roll in corners, and no engine noise, it also struggled cornering in the wet, with a tendancy to feel unbalanced and wobbly and squirm about. A stark difference getting back in mine with vibratechnics engine mounts, eibach springs. The 1.2tsi is kinda surgy with its turbo power delivery (mapping id guess), but revs drop nice and quick between shifts and every gear change is smooth as butter. There's a lot more engine noise though from the vibra mounts. Handling though is far more refined and tight over every road surface, and when cornering, it's ever so accurate and it's possible to feel what the car is doing, with an ever so slight tendancy to understeer if heavy on the throttle, and a slight tendancy to oversteer if off throttle and overzealous with the steering wheel, it's much more fun, i can feel how the car is handling and make corrections to it. The 1.0tsi was like driving a cloud, nice and smooth, but it has about the same handling characteristics, cant feel how the car is handling at all, just that it's sliding sideways and my steering and throttle inputs dont seem to be helping 😂

The Eibachs feel harsh to me and its definitely underdamped, B8s were expensive but read good things about them. Also got a whiteline rear ARB on the way too. Also just ordered a Friedrich Motorsport cat-back exhaust, somebody stop me!

Perhaps my car had sports suspension on it from factory, though it didn't look any lower than any other Fabia i've seen on my travels.

 

Edit: Forgot to ask, where did you get the B8s from?
