QLD - NewB - Skoda Superb Combi - soon to be owner
New to this forum. Ordered a Skoda Superb Combi about 2 weeks ago and now waiting for it to arrive in September. Its been great to read posts on this forum about the Superb and about Skoda. This forum really helped in convincing me to go with the Skoda and VAG in general (choice was between Passat & Superb in the end, all other options just faded away).
First Question - I'm thinking about get the 118 TSI engine tuned by APR. This give about 20% more power and 20% more torque. Can anyone recommend this who has got in done already? My main concerns are that the extra power comes with extra fuel costs (can't have it all I guess) and that the 7 speed DSG in the Superb is only rated at 250Nm while the tuned engine puts out about 306Nm. Is the risk of over cooking the DSG a reality with that extra torque or is VAG/Skoda just being extra careful???
Looking forward to discussing how the Superb performs etc with others on these forums.
Cheers
