Skoda Modifications

Hi all,

New here

I have a My16 rs Octavia, now about 3 months old with 5000km, I have been looking into a stage 1 tune. So far the information I have is that APR does have a tune, but are yet to find a way to install it, and I had contact with John at DNA tune, and he advised they are probably about 3 months or so from developing a tune for this model. I am curious to what others have found with the my16 model, and a stage 1 tune.

So far the information I have is that APR does have a tune, but are yet to find a way to install it.

are u sure? the mk3 RS has the same ECU as the mk7 GTi, so there should be no issues installing it.

if that is the case, then APR Australia would/should not be advertising the stg 1 tune for the mk3 Octavia RS. They do have it listed as available for the mk3 Octavia.

I was advised from APR ' we have the tune, but no delivery method'. Are there other tunes which have been confirmed available for the my16 RS? Similarly John from DNA tune advised this model is yet to have a tune from DNA.

Is there an APR agent in Perth?

There is no support up here in Darwin but I'm moving to Perth next March.

My local dealer uses race chip. It's about 1k and a piggy back system. I believe this is it

Chiptuning for Skoda Octavia 2.0 TSI RS – RaceChip Chiptuning

My car is about a week away and once I'v racked up a they kms I'll be back in to have a chat with them.
Not the increase that APR get but atleast it available and can be removed before any warranty claim is needed.

Has anyone recently got a stage one in Melb? Seems like APR arr having some commercial issues and unavailable? What are the other local options?
Im not sure if a flash tune or a plug in box are any better than any others?

would love some recommendations and experiences with servicing with both options etc....
