Looking at getting a new car as i have started doing more motorway miles. I was looking at getting a CTR but i would worse off so i really need a deisal for MPG gains.
Looking at getting a Fabia VRS i have been told you can have the ECU re-mapped to give you 170BHP is this true??

I know it's a Vaux forum just a lot of you guys on here know about engines, just wanted to know if it was true or not.

the Vrs is the 130bhp engine I think right.
So take it to Revo, Jabbasport, AMD companys liks that.
I've seen a Revo'd 130bhp 1.9tdi do 201bhp and 302 lb/ft on a set of rollers, and seen it move on the roaad. Not bad for about £500 and 10 mins with a laptop!

i raced a std one from around 40 thru to 100 and stayed with one. From there on, that thing moved. By the time i was 120, that thing was a goner!
That thing with 200bhp wud be a site to see.
