The chap i bought it off hated the dump valve and induction kit that was on it, so put the S3 airbox, intake and N75 on it.

Makes for a cracking sleeper, the exhaust has a quiet burble so just looks like a normal vrs with an exhaust so 225bhp tops.
Main reason i bought it is cos im a massive fan of sleepers.

always been a fan of the Mk1 Octavia VRs' since my dad owned one, he had 3 in the end he liked them so much lol

last one he put a K&N induction kit on, cold air feed, bailey motorsport dumpvalve and a full miltek system, was gunna get it mapped up at Jabba but forced to sell when he got the Mk2 diesel 2litre in blue as a company car

always loved them, and especially the 1.8T 20V engines

Looks really great mate, but really you should consider a rear WRC wing. Its not "tuning" and it adds lot of spirit to the car !

Matt it used to have a WRC wing on it before then the previous owner removed it, me personally i think it looks good on black cars, but not on the silver cars.
