RE: Skoda Octavia vRS 230
Discussion
I really like the Lambo-esque wheels and the seats on that car. 
I know the wheels will be kerbed easily, I know the low speed ride will be rubbish, but just look at them!
You have to laugh a bit at the claimed power figures for all these VAG cars, as all the turbo engines are putting out at least 10% more power than they 'should'. This engine seems to dyno at about 250hp, and what's even more amazing is that they map to about 300hp on 95 octane. That's a heck of an increase over what VAG claim!

Some people have mapped them to around 350hp on super, not sure I would risk it but someone has to be the first to discover why VW put stronger rods and pistons in the Golf R I know the wheels will be kerbed easily, I know the low speed ride will be rubbish, but just look at them!You have to laugh a bit at the claimed power figures for all these VAG cars, as all the turbo engines are putting out at least 10% more power than they 'should'.

Nice looking car , pretty much what I have on order
Eibachs helped the ride on my Fabia VRS, does it make the car too low though ?
Before Eibachs....(note the 4x4 stance)Eibachs helped the ride on my Fabia VRS, does it make the car too low though ?
The last two pictures are lowered. The vRS rides a few millimetres higher than the mk2 vRS and I had that lowered on Eibachs too and never had an issue with height therefore the mk3 is fine.

k if they are fake or not? Im not discounting a car just because of that.liner33 said:

You're not going to gain 30-50hp from 3 points more octane, where did you find that figure?!The Ko3 turbo 2.0/1.8TFSI and older turbo engines had rods, and rod bearings, that failed very quickly with larger turbos. Even a big over-boost spike on the standard turbo will make them more likely to fail.

Seems like it was a one-off wonder run on 99 octane, but the average pull was about 330hp. That I believe! matchmaker said:
The 20v 1.8T could be taken up to 330bhp without touching the internals. I'm not aware of bearing failure being a common problem on any mapped 20VT.
It's not common as standard, and with safe over-boost it's fine. It's people running bigger turbos who take the risk, though they are meant to be safe enough up to 300lb/ft. It's not a 'design flaw' anyway. Flashmurder said:

The wheels in the picture are truly vile and given how badly the mk2 drove on 18s, I dread to think what this is like on 19s.
Can you explain this please?? I had a mk2 VRS on 18s and it drove really nicely :/
