Talking Hi!!

Hi everyone, I'm on my first Skoda, an Ocatvia vRS, which I've had for just over a year now and am VERY happy with it.....no problems at all (other than finding a large nail in the wall of one tyre ) which was great after my last car had to go back to the garage half a dozen times in 3 years.

I'm now thinking about getting it chipped, the posted articles have been very usefull and will probably go with Jabba given their views and that they're not too far from me. Would be interested to hear any feedback from people who've done likewise.

Done it. Brilliant. Get Jabba's variable boost controller fitted as well.

Jabba would be an excellent choice IMO. Theyve mapped my car & Im incredibly pleased with the results, the cars performance is excellent & its also prooved very reliable despite an extreemly hard life. I would echo Dennis's comments about the boost controller

Hi my name is ian i am on my 2nd skoda i had an slx now i have an rs i bought my octavia 2nd hand and it was allready a 225bhp when i bought it.
i find it a lot faster than a 180bhp but nobody tells you about how much more petrol your car will start drinking after the mod has been done. What colour is your rs?

Quite a few of us have found that our 1.8Ts are little if any thirstier after remapping - unless the extra performance is used at every opportunity.
