Had mine at the dealers to get a start/stop error sorted. Turned out to be a faulty G608 sensor.

Fitted the front and side badge skins on the R, went for black and happy with the results

Also put a few heat cycles through the 360mm VWR so pots, made a huge difference and car is more balanced

Pics tomorrow

Removed crankcase breather from turbo intake, blocked off at turbo intake and attached hose to vent breather down the back of the engine. This is known as the elephant mod on the Skoda forum. I know it sounds a little weird but it does improve the throttle response and gets more cold air into the turbo. Try it as an experiment and let me know what you think :smiley:

Sorry no. But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you try it. I found a cap to go over the turbo inlet pipe and just extended the crankcase pipe(without mangling it) so that I can return to stock if required. :nerd:

Well I spoke to a Revo installer and he told me to go back to stock as the ECU will get confused. So to be safe I have done so. Not all ideas work then :embarrassed:

What was the competition?

"In no more than two words, try to think of a reason why you'd not want a RS3"

The winning entry.... Golf R420 :)
