Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI – Stage 1 98RON
The Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI gains great power from a stage 1 ECU remap, while maintaining engine safety and good overall fuel consumption. All EA888 1.8 TSI engines that come with the A5 (Gen2) platform produce slightly more power than the manufacturer states. Instead of 160hp at the flywheel, they usually produce 165 to 180hp depending on fuel quality. The better the fuel quality, the more the result moves towards 180hp. The engine is powered by a Bosch MED17.5 ECU and reflashing is done via the OBD port.
