Good morning everyone,this is my 2017 skoda octavia vrs 2.0 tsi.

Bought the car with 8 thousand miles on the clock a year and a half ago and have put about 14 thousand miles on the clock and the car has been great.

The car came with......

Heated cloth vrs seats.

Lane assist.

Audio with canton.

19 inch wheels.

Dynamic chassis control.

Black pack.

Winter pack.

Dsg gearbox.

 

So I'm led to believe the car came with 217bhp which was OK but lacked a little power so I set about tuning it a little.

I wasn't looking for the all important bhp rolling road numbers just something that surprised a few cars as I wanted the car to look completely standard from the outside.

 

Octavia VRS 2.0 tsi
Air intake mod.
ITG panel filter.
Big bore silicon intake hose.
Larger diameter turbo elbow.
Turbo muffler delete.
RS3 ignition coils.
RS7 spark plugs.
Centre exhaust silencer delete.
Stage 1 ecu remap.
 

Probably need to go to stage 2 next year if I am going to extract more power from it.

Thank you for looking everyone.

 

Few other pics of the upgrades I have done.

A pair of new pirelli p zeros for the front yesterday,traction has greatly improved already,even with the naff weather up here in Scotland.

Beggers the question though,with out the traction of four wheel drive how much power do you need through one axle?

Still spins up if you run out the house with your lead boots on but definately better.

To stage 2 or not🤔

well I'm running 405bhp with an open diff. It can be interesting in the wet, but then I've pilot sport cup 2.s on the front.

 

You dont have to drive with your foot flat, its makes you respect the throttle

I've drove many many quick 4wd cars and they bore me,I like a car you need to drive,not just point and go.

 

then stage two it lol.

 

just a cat and intake away

 

 

or stick a is38 on it like I did. it is great fun, but then starts the handling and brake mods

Intercooler and a fresh map?

No harm in fitting just a cooler, but to get a stage two map, most mappers require a cooler and sport cat/de cat. Otherwise it ain’t really stage 2

 

realistically peak power doesn’t go up a huge amount but that’s not the whole story. It will flow better across the range and power/torque will be up across it.
