Hi, I’m just curious about a “smoke map” on my pd130 Skoda fabia vrs. 
im wanting to get a little more smoke on my tune as it’s quite a clean map at the moment, I’ve heard it can increase power slightly and increase turbo spool, as well as blacking out everyone that tries to race you  just wondering what could happen if I do it and if/what damage could be caused? 

 

specs are:
Pd150/ gt1749 turbo

standard injectors

2.25inch straight through

mapped to 185bhp

Such a map:

 

Does not increase power on a PD

 

Does increase EGT

 

Does clog your VNT

 

Does draw attention from plod

 

Does fail the MOT

 

Not much of an upgrade really...

What he said.

 

Never seen the fascination with a smoke map, personally. Kind of gives away any sort of an inconspicuous nature that the car would have had, in terms of hiding performance. That makes sense to a mildly heatstroked me, so make of that what you will.

/\ What they said, and it increases the possibilities of failing an MOT and/or getting "pulled" by the police.

If there was one post on Briskoda that makes me feel old, it’s this one. 🙈

might as well just put a banner on top of your car and say please pull me mr policeman.

Surely this is all just a Friday afternoon wind-up.

Happy birthday Ken.

What the owner didn't say in that video was his rear windows are clear glass and interior and seats are a light grey colour, or they used to be.  I'm very surprised he's not got smoked rear lights and number plate.  They must love him where he drives.

i thought the "agri spec" look had been and gone already?

it was very mid recession over here, among the few boy racers that couldnt get to Oz, or afford to run petrols any more.  "ratted" (just ****boxes in reality) mk4 golf tdis and 307s with turned up exhaust tips covering the back of the car in black gack...... fk me it was ridiculous.

I'm still getting overtaken by ****wits in Mk1 Fabias and Boras on smoke maps.

****s in Silver Audi Estates coming towards you on your side of the road as well i would expect..

So funny for me seeing so many reek spec yokes not being able to keep up with my standard (ish) monte.

So many 316d "M PERFORMANCE" around here with **** exhausts acting like they have M3s.

Yes, and Ford Focii (one Focus, two Focii) in "RS" spec, allegedly.
