Extra BHP for 03 octy vRS

Dale Ross · 12-06-2006, 19:43

I'm looking to add horsepower to my 03 octavia vRS with an induction kit and a back box. Can anyone give first hand advice on what works well and how much the gains will be. I'd like to keep the cost down to about 6-700 quid. Any help is much appreciated as I'm new to all this. Thanx

You'd be far better off going for a remap - that should give you 30+ bhp more for under £500.

Whilst were on this subject, i've been thinking about a remap, who are the best people to sort this?

Cheers.

Now can of worms is what I am thinking

This is one thing that will get loads of remarks about.
There are a few to choose from.
I would do some research on what is available.
You may find that it could be worth finding out what is local to you.
But reseach is the best way to find out.
We deal with APR and had an open day on Saturday as we have had their head guys in from America.
We have this on offer at the moment at £375.00 + VAT so that would be a good deal just now too.
APR offer their map which is switchable with the OEM cruise control.
If you dont have that we can give you that too on a special at £149.00 + VAT

Welcome to Briskoda.

There is a wealth of experience here covering a wide range of remaps and options to go with them. As Sarah has suggested, do some research then come back and ask questions.

jabba
awesome
jbs
impossible performance
revo
superchips

to name a few off the top of my head, without trying to sound rude have a search round the site to find the experiences of those on here and what they found with the different tuners. a good place to look might be rolling road day threads where people have put up results/mods/tuner

i've been to jabba in the past and think i will go to impossible next
