Hey all, I've got a mk2 Octavia vrs tdi. I know it's had a stage one remap. I was wondering if anyone knew how far I could push it? I really want to fit a larger turbo but I don't know how possible this would be on a tdi. Any suggestions?

You want power. Power costs. How fast can you afford to go? @devonutopia can tell you all about making a 1.9D 300.

keeping pretty open minded although I wouldn't want to sink crazy amounts into it, I would be looking to keep it for a while so I can afford to put some into it. Looking at the possibility of selling the diesel off and picking up a petrol one just so I can push it a little more. I love the facelift mk2 so I'm keeping my eyes open everywhere for one 

Which map did you use for stage 1? I’m considering one soon, love the torque but waiting for the higher revs first is getting annoying.

I wouldn't know im afraid, it was the previous owner who did it all up. I'm thankful to have a car that's got some kick to it already but I do wish I had the fun of doing it up. I know it's has a dpf delete and a stage one as well as a top end rebuild. I definitely recommend the remap tho, running around on a low tank of fuel is so much fun. The little GTIs get put in place when they're right up your behind

If anyone's looking for the tdi variant and has a tfsi, id be willing to do some form of swap plus cash if the years or millage work out different 

New turbo, new clutch to handle it, then mapping = £1.5k easy.

Any particular turbo you recommend? Could the engine handle the pressure from the new turbo? I've been told by one remap company that new high flow injectors would be a good idea too. Thanks
