Can we get back to talking about cars with unholy levels of power now?
Yes.A Skoda with 400bhp is pretty ludicrous, especially when it looks as anonymous as that. Spool diff is an odd choice though, if Quaife make one that can handle that power I'd stop off with them first.

Did PH ask Revo what their position would be if the car was to develop a fault - do Revo offer their own warranty?
We did, and they said this:"Our stance is that we don’t/can’t offer a warranty on factory parts, and any customer looking to add this much more power to their vehicle does so in the knowledge that putting stress/increasing load on standard components carries an element of risk. We recommend flashing the vehicle to stock (removes all traces) before a dealer visit to avoid any warranty issues, although it would be tricky in this extreme case due to the non-standard turbo. In addition we try to ensure all of our upgrades are able to work within the limits of the factory components and ensure that we thoroughly test the complete package before it is released to the public. This R&D process doesn't just take place in the UK but throughout our global dealer network in regions whereby conditions and driving style are significantly more extreme than those seen in the UK. And then we add further head room on top of that to ensure longevity. As an example we have been beating the hell out of this particular set up for over 12 months, the only failure so far is 3 sets of front tyres!"

That'll be a no then.

Apologies, but no, not yet..
Alongside the world's incorrect and prolific overuse of the word "obviously", is the incorrect grammar when using "compared".
10-second reduction in 'ring lap time compared to the original vRS 220.
It's compared WITH i'm afraid. Not TO.
Not wanting to pick a fight, but this is actually about grammar.
Back to cars. Agree that this appears a cheap way to have a very fast, understated estate. Which was the original idea until they all became so obvious and blingy!
