Liking the black wheels on silver too

What are you intending on doing to the car to get 270-280bhp?


PS. Little tip: rather than thanking everyone with individual posts there is a 'Thanks' button in the bottom right hand corner of every post you can use

Good tip about the "thanks". To get to 270-280 bhp i will uppgrade the softwere(dont know if it is spelled right),install a k&n airfilter(already done), 3" downpipe and racecatalyst and the catback will be original. About your car, love the stripes. Have you done something to it? Because im new here i havent yet had the time to read about the cars on this forum.

Have done a fair bit of modification to my car + there is loads of information on here but to give you an idea as to what is needed for 280bhp click and drag accross my signature area and all will be revealed!

Re: Richards Skoda Octavia VRS 2007(swe)

Ok, i see what u have done to your car. I talked to the tune up company here in Södertälje and they said that with the mods i have planned i will get around 270-280bhp,but im guessing it will be somewhere around 270bhp. It is still a pretty new car so i still have the new car warranty so i dont know if i dear to uppgrade the softwere just yet. Offcourse the tuners have their own warranty if i decide to do it now but...i dont think i can wait any longer.

Re: Richards Skoda Octavia VRS 2007(swe)

By the way, remapp, is that when you uppgrade the softwere? In my case from 200bhp to 250bhp.

Yup, a remap will alter the software on your ECU to give you different settings and ultimately more power, in your case I would expect to see an increase of around 35bhp to 40bhp.

I very much doubt that Richard, experience has shown that at the very best you'll see +40bhp from ANY remap.
