So I have a 1.2 tsi mk3 2015 skoda fabia, I'm looking to maybe do a stage 1 remap. Going from 90bhp to 140bhp, could anyone tell me the pros and cons. I've heard the engine wouldn't handle it very well. 

It is worth looking at the threads already in this section on remapping 1.2 TSI,s

 

There is no cons. Check the servicing is up to date, new plugs & air filter in and run it on E5 and if all is well choose the remapper and be sure your insurer is fine with mods or that you can get insured with someone that is. 

If your pushing the 1.2 TSi to the full 140. You MUST run it on E5 fuel all the time. Never use E10. Double check with your insurance first. Not declaring will void your insurance.

Can I ask why only e5 and not e10? 

Appreciate the reply, I'll definitely check it out 

Just presuming that you are remapping to improve the performance by increasing the bhp / Nm there is little point running 95 ron Unleaded E10.

 

E5 in the UK is 97 or 99 ron minimum and it would be usual for the remap to be written to suit running Super Unleaded. 

 

Sainsbury,s Super Unleaded is 97 ron minimum.

Have look at this thread - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/520881-help-with-tuned-second-hand-fabia/

 

 

Or if you're more easily bored and/or want instant answers then you could perhaps skip to the latest post on that thread - but I'm not sure everyone would agree about the posters idea on brakes and particularly braided hoses giving increase in brake performance, I've braided brake hoses but not for that reason and tyres are the most neglected brake improvement component, tho' the poster has recognised their importance. -https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/520881-help-with-tuned-second-hand-fabia/page/2/#comment-5836928

Hi.

If you have any issues with insurance at all for a re-map then please feel free to drop me a line.

Regards,

Dan.

Just bumping due to the other thread by @BomerTimpson

That does not say it is a 90 ps 1.2 TSI and nobody asked other than me.  

Just because it is always worth trying to find out what someone has before advising them what to do to improve performance or do upgrades.

 

It is not just about Engine Power, or acceleration, the gearbox the car has matters, and the brakes, tyres, suspension etc matters.

Of course! Well im taking in all advice given and will have a good research
