Chipping my 2.0 FSI

[smstext]

Ive found that superchips can chip my car for <cough>£299, the details are as follows:



Skoda Octavia Fsi
2004 onwards
Engine type : Non-Turbo Petrol
Engine size : 1984 cm3
Cylinders : 4


Original bhp : 150
Original nm : 200
BHP increase : 9
NM gain : 10
Lb/Ft gain : 7


Will 9BHP be noticeable or is it just a waste of money? or is there another company which can offer better?

The turbo boys will probably laugh at you but I'd be interested to see how it affects the drivability rather than the top end output. Superchips claim similar gain for mine but its probably more noticable on 100hp than 150hp. Would like to see impartial dyno-plots before and after to make a judgement.

to be honest, remapping a N/A car is only worth it after you've done so much else to it, like filters, exhaust etc. You may be lucky to see 15bhp at the end of that.

im looking at getting a performance filter in the new year, want a green or pipercross but none available for my model so it looks like its gonna be a K&N. this should add 5-10hp and if i get this chip i expect it be up to around 170bhp max.

lol - what I meant is that WITH the filter, and a complete free-flow exhaust you're looking at 15bhp more after the remap

It isn't much of an increase but if it spreads the torque across the range then it may be a nicer drive.

Agree, getting a remap is just more than upping the bhp by 'x' amount - I'd go for it at that sort of money

that 9bhp increase doesn't neccessarily mean you end up with 159bhp peak power; they claim an 11bhp increase on a 1.8 Focus, but that's at 6545rpm (pretty much at the rev limiter) and peak power is only up by a claimed 9bhp

it would be nice if they had power/torque graphs for all the cars they've mapped
