1 tip

put in time frames for each job and make sure you work to it otherwise it can take forever oh and dont try and cut corners

cheers for the advice. it something i have always wanted to do but have never really had time untill now im aiming for it to be fully complete byt summer 2013. also where is the best place for skoda aftermarket parts.

all depends what you want etc etc

well i want to uprate the turbo really want ihi got a quote from jbs they want 4300 to supply and fit. its more suspension, brakes, and exterior details that i need to find suppliers for. any previous experience with different types would be reall appreciated.

why ihi ??

what power do you want to run ?? whats your budget ??? whats the car going to be used for???

lots of variables need to give a bit more info really for us to help

p.s and surely you will be doing the work yourself not companys????

I had a leon cupra r a few years ago runing an ihi and loved the way the power came in and how much power it delivered, is there another turbo i could get that i dont know about. im looking for around the 320-330 mark. i have not really set myself a budget as such,i was going to buy a new car and changed my mind as i love how the octavia drives so if i was going to set a budget it would be around 10-11k at the most. i hope that is not to ambitious. the car will be used for everyday use as well as track days so i want the power forthe trackdays but the driveability to use it everyday still. yes the majority of the work will be done by myself except the remapping and the spray job (maybe the turbo depends what it is like as never really had much experience with vags. i have been bought up around a family of mad ford enthuisasts. i hope this gives you a bit more info to help me anything iv forgot just let me know and ill try nd ansa.

thanks

will pm you some options

all the best
