Here are my dyno plots.

All dyno's vary so I'm sure the results will be a little different on another rolling road. It actually gave me 202.7bhp as standard, not 207bhp as I previously posted. It was bloody cold and I had a fresh tank of Shell V-power on board, (not sure how much difference this made if any.) Happy with my torque curve. The dip at around 2800rpm I was told was due to the effect the load change on the car had on the rollers? :confused: On the road it feels perfectly smooth.

I need to get my car serviced, I was told by AMD to get off variable service ASAP, (which I planned to do anyway as the first service is due in less than 1000miles.) They also reckon the longlife oil is crap, too many preservatives, not enough lubrication. On some older engines they have worked on, on other cars they have seen some oil related issues.

Anyway once serviced, as I mention on the 'JKM Rolling road' thread I'd like to get it rolling roaded again with some of the other remapped Octys to see how it compares on the same dyno.

Opps the graphs are a bit on the large side. Best to download them to view them clearly

Really..............do you not recall saying this a few months ago :rubchin:

Things have changed..

Don't get me wrong, I'm a diesel convert - although I haven't got one. Would have been a tricky decision when I got mine if the 170 pdi had of been available.

I had a play with an Ibiza cupra tdi yesterday (whilst travelling through Germany on the autobahn ). He was behind me and from 30ish through to about 95ish he stuck with me but after that I started to pull away a bit. Not much in it though.

Edit - But they did a test? A remapped Fabia isn't too far behind a standard Octavia vRS....

It's not just guesses, I won't name the people who did it either...

Oh and just to get back to you on something else, you said all 2006 Octavia vRS's push out 225hp standard. Just to clarify that, was at a rolling road recently, and the standard 2006 Octy vRS, pushed out 200hp. And then 228 remapped....

Load of balls that.

And yes, a remapped Fabia is about the same as a totally standard Octavia vRS Mk2.

But IIRC, the Octavia at the RR day made 228.3bhp :P

228.3.2 bhp. Round it off to the nearest 0. Leaves you with 228.0 LOL

Ah, I can't remember what that person made :P

Come on boys, let's stop the ******** the fabia is an outstanding car (speaking like some here as an ex owner) but the furby will be running out of puff between say 4250 / 4500 rpm and then the octy is still pulling hard for another 2000 rpm.

Remember goochies airfield test with Bengie, Goochie and the furby and that was against tweaked mk1's (no offence gents), and we had all the debates in the past about furby's being as fast / faster than mk1 Octy's which was disproved. Put something like Jasons or certain other "Q car" Furby's up against standard mk2 octy's and it may be / would be different.

It's all horses for courses, I sold my furby to buy the octy because I was fed up with the woosh, bang, performance, and discovered that I really did not "gel" with diesel.

Anyway, back on topic, the amd figures are not bad at all, and with the slightly lower torque but bigger kick at the top end may well suit various peoples driving style / preferences ... but once again all horses for courses

Would i be right in saying that if the tfsi was remapped the extra torque at low revs would mean that you could drive the tfsi like a diesel if you were driving sensibly (ie when swmbo and kids are in car) and still have plenty of power at low revs for overtaking etc. Then when wife and kids are out of car.....PARTY TIME:D

A perfect summary and spot on

That is certainly my understanding of the one's I have driven with the software upgrade.

Damn right. I retract my previous statements from this thread. Something was wrong with the car for sure last week it was running like Steven Hawkins, but now it seems 'better' and the power is back.

It goes like f*ck. Serious aching of the muscles around the mouth - too much .

AWESOME.

Sounds great. TBH, im wetting my pants waiting on March to come, then its VRS time baby! I drive a diesel at present but will defo defo be geting a petrol, a year old one i would say and then ill defo be heading to the boys at revo for a remap. Just cant wait till i smile like Harry,... like this...

Somebody I know also had a VAG diesel and did exactly what you're going to do and they are as happy as Larry ...or is it Harry...? :D

Was browsing through some tuning websites and came across a company called celtic tuning. (celtictuning.com) Anyone heard of them, are they reputable? Anyway, was looking at their before and after bhp and torque figures for the vrs tfsi. They are as follows: Existing bhp 200, existing torque: 207 llb/ft. Remapped bhp: 265 bhp, remapped torque: 274 llb/ft. As i presently drive a diesel i was interested to see what standard diesel engines deliver the same amount of torque levels as the remapped vrs tfsi. So i looked at the audi cars and came across the 2.5tdi 180bhp. This at standard pumps out 273 llb/ft torque, not bad at all! Having taken a spin in one of these and knowing what the pull of the car actually feels like, between probably 2000 and 3500 rpm at its best, i can imagine what a remapped tfsi feels like with its remapped torque and with a longer rev range. I feel it definately is going to make me smile, big time :D .

Again those numbers seem to be indicative of the lower torque but higher HP figures we see from some tuners.

REVO'd cars produce a lower HP, the ones I've seen at stage 1 produce up to 238hp but most produce at least 300lbft of torque.

Are they still the ones to go for?

I driven a couple of REVO'd TFSi cars and they are pretty amazing but a remap is a very emotive issue and so you really would need to make your own assumptions.

If it were me looking for a remap for my car then I would look at both REVO and Superchips Bluefin.

Is that because you read about it somewhere?

I've read about it in lots of places, most notably the UKMKIV's forum who seem to rate it very highly.

Thanks Stu:thumbup:. I will be going ahead with it when the time comes. So when i get this remap what are the precautions that need to be taken after one has it installed. I have noticed fellas talking about clutches being wore out, and drive trains in this thread, would you only be worried about things like that if you were abusing the car ie raking the **** out of it constantly or are these realistic problems you could face after a remap. Would you need just as an example, bigger brakes etc or upgraded shocks, new suspension to maximise grip or would a top class set of tyres do?

I know you knew

I have driven a revo'd vrs & used a stopwatch to time some increments.

30-50 & 50-70 mph in 3rd, 4th & 5th were all covered in between 4 & 5 seconds.

The car had huge torque across most of the rev range making it very driveable & much better than the 2.2 diesel I was driving at the time. Acceleration was also delivered much more smoothly.

Out & out accelaration was also very impressive so I felt it was a great bhp versus lbs/ft compromise.

Following on from the above, would upgrading the exhaust system to a millitek hi flow sports cat invalidate the skoda warranty and if so, people who install one of these, do they do so at their own risk? Would that be right:confused: . Sorry if im frustrating anyone, only getting into my cars now, trying to learn all the time, very new at this game:rolleyes:
