tune skoda octavia | high performance tuning with BSR PPC vRS TDi (Wednesday, 02/04/2008)

This is easily done by simply changing the ECU software to restrict what the engine is capable of. And guess what - you can tune the 110bhp up to 140bhp if you so wish. The BSR PPC represents one of the best systems on the market for doing this safely and cost-effectively. full story...
