Hi everyone,

I've been looking on the web for some tuning info on my Octavia and wasn't expecting to find a Skoda-specific website so, top work

I fancy remapping my car. Bluefin and Revo are the leading contenders (suggest any others?). I've owned various VW's and Audi's in the past and have had remaps done at AmD as well as superchips, when they offered pre-bluefin products.

Has anyone one here got experience of either of the above?

The Bluefin remap offers 241bhp - I guess this is the same as the MkV GTi engine.

I am reading much about DV failure in the MkV GTi (it happened on my friends Edition 30) and also on the Octavia. If I am remapping, would you recommend changing the DV to a version "C" in the process?

Any info appreciated!

Go for a Revo remap. It has been proven time and time again to give the highest gains, with torque figures just unattainable by other remaps.

It won't be the cheapest remap on the market, but you get what you pay for. You also have the ability to switch the map back to standard and tweak your settings with an Select Plus unit as seen here.

As for a new DV I would highly suggest you invest in the Forge Motorsport replacement valve - it's a dead easy install and will provide you with much greater reliability than a C revision OEM valve. For more details click here.

I hope this of use to you.

The C revision doesn't prevent failure. You may well find that you already have the C on yours now.

I would'nt , you can't spend a shade under six hundred quid more wisely imho :P

Back on track, there is loads of information on here regarding remaps for the TFSI (a quick search will highlight them for you) but I'm another firm believer in the REVO software for our cars, it's supremely smooth and progressive with oodles of torque but then again I cant speak for the other maps as I've not tried them!.

In time change the DV to the Forge one for peace of mind if nothing else as the OEM one should last a while.

Welcome to the forum btw You might want to consider popping down to our Rolling Road Day next month, there will be a fair number of MkII vRS owners in attendance who'll be more than happy to share their experiences with you.
