what engine tweaks for my 1.8tsi octy scout?

[StangGT]

I have a `10 Octavia Scout with the 160hp 1.8tsi engine. I'm after a bit more power... What tweaks would you recommend and where should I go for the work? I'm based near Epsom...

Cheers...

A simple stage 1 map will give a good boost in performance, I would certainly stick to tried and tested specialists though rather than a mate of a mate who can download a file and flash it for £100.

Panel filters are a waste of money, Air intakes for the Scout probably not available.

is this the engine you have http://www.goapr.co.uk/products/ecu_upgrade_18tsi_...

I'm not sure to be honest. That shows stock power at 175, mine is 160.
Bloody good gains tho!

Any thoughts/recommendations on who to get the remap done by?

Revo ?

REVO, APR, GIAC are big names with tried and tested software.

R-Tech would be my next choice but he's not really touching TSI engines yet.

Any of those anywhere near Surrey?

Shark seem to be the favourite on Skoda forums, such as Briskoda.

If you're lucky you may find your scout is closer to 180. Their were loads of rumours going around when I bought mine in 2010 that VW weren't de-tuning them.
