New Octavia ....when? How Much?

APR tune released for the GTI, 316hp (236kw) and 380tq (515Nm) in the US. Not too shabby. Wonder if the RS tune will be released at the same time as the local GTI tune.

The tuning thread on briskoda certainly does inspire confidence that the EA888 has been modified with big power in mind - and all these tuning companies releasing tunes with 80+ HP gains certainly seems to reflect that. (that APR one is 96HP gain!). Almost like the early years of turbo cars again (s13 etc).

The power wars between VAG and Merc seem to be netting benefits to us!

Any updates on your arrival gtr?

If anyone wants to see what a black pack (black) RS wagon looks like, here's some pics I took this afternoon.

1HP = 0.746kw, so 316HP is about 236kw

It's the black pack. So they paint the mirrors and grill black

1hp = 0.745699872kw, so about 3/4 of the hp value. eg The above316hp = 236kw, and the 80+hp gain would be 60+kw.

Should notice the difference!!!

What I ment was could someone just put the tune output in KW not Hp haha!
