Hi All,
What mods can be made to the 1.8tsi and how much more power output can the 7 speed handle over and above 118kw and 250nm.
Someone asked me and i wasn;t sure other than the 7 speed being dry clutch had peak torque restrictions

AFAIK the 118kw engine in Skoda Octavias and Superbs is still the 1.8 litre engine (which is also fitted to some Audis), and is a totally different engine to the 118Kw 1.4 litre super and turbo-charged engine fitted to Golf 6s.
Unless Skoda have made a dramatic, unanounced change recently

Skoda and Audi uses a 1.8TSI engine ...... this is the engine IMO that should be used instead of the 1.4 by VW anyway .....
APR has chip for it .... about 140kw/300NM .... speak to Guy http://www.goapr.com.au/products/ecu...tsi_trans.html
No issues with the DSG or any other component ....
MrPayne maybe its time to do a bit of a readup on (other) VAG products .....

Whoops. I (obviously) though he was referring to the Golf engine.
Apologies Sales @ Mentone Skoda.

Really?
Suggest you check brochure. It's a 1.8L with just a turbo no supercharger. Different family of engines to the 1.4TSI.
TSI no longer stands for Twin Supercharger induction/injection but Turbo Stratified Injection
To the OP:
The 250Nm limit on the gearbox is an arbritary figure rather than a limit. The design limit is much higher.
Revo, GIAC & Bluefin all do remaps with varying output claims.
On a remapped manual 1.8TSI you'll claw back 2 seconds in a 3rd gear 40-120kmh sprint (and laugh all the way) taking just under 9 seconds after the remap.
80-120 in 3rd will take 4.5secs - this is quicker than a Porsche Boxter S in the same gear.
Remap is best bang for buck - anything else is just fiddling around the edges.

Hey Brad, I can only imagine the difference the tune has made. Going by the numbers provided on their website your 1.8 is putting out more torque than a tuned 2.0 TFSI. In gear acceleration must be awesome. Good tune, good results at a reasonable price =
