Badly I would imagine.

remaped one would be around 210 bhp , but weigh alot more, up to 100 not alot in it

My friend owns a 215bhp VRS, I pull away easily from him... The only good thing about them is motorway speeds.

i raced a black one the other wk and was slowly catchin him cudnt decide weather it had been remapped or not

yeh ive drove a vrs octavia and i wasnt impressed i cant see it being quicker even when remapped, as above they are big heavy cars. clio owners know power to weight is everything

Twisty's or a straight line I'm sure the one at work (when it isn't in the garage) would do a clio no probs even with the bigger lightbar it has fitted.

***edit*** it is a 2.0litre one though

Hmm yeh until you come up against one that has been stripped of weight! They produce some serious torque for a 1.8 Turbo, standard 180bhp, just a remap gives them an extra 30bhp. Same engine found in the Audi TT, my mate has a remapped one and it pulls like a Train. Natural aspiration is never a match for Turbo charging.

An remapped but otherwise standard Octavia VRS will be a little slower up to 100 and a little quicker after. Its not going to be a massive difference to be honest. Heavy old beasts.

There was a new 11 plate Fabia vRS at Brands on Monday....that was quick. Still had him though....super and tubocharged 1.4 I believe..

Skoda will take 300bhp before you need to change engine internals.

FMIC, straight thru pipe and air filter matched to a good RR remap would get you there.

 

[batesey]

my mates got a octavia vrs 1.8T running 250bhp... even before it was mapped we had it upto 155mph, really good cars!

No it wont. They run a K03s on the 1.8T's. 250ish bhp max.

Yes thry will he said internals not externals can run garret turbo on standard internals or a ko4 conversion from the 225 engine

My cousin has one. He's always going on about how he'll take my 172, haven driven it i'm not so sure.

I've got both, cup is better round corners feels stiffer also seems to get up to speed quicker, octy is a bigger car obviously so u need to work it to get up to speed, saying that I'm selling the octy this weekend. IMHO Clio as a fun hack about wins, big speed motorway cruising go for the octy. Although it is nice to hear the turbo,spool up, some thing I'll miss, has been a good car, if wasn't so lardy I'd be keeping it but Clio will do a better job of autosolos!
