AmD Tuning have just released a remap for the 1.4 TSi Skoda Fabia vRS, which in combination with a  Milltek exhaust turns the Fabia into a stunning “pocket-rocket”!

The T304 stainless steel full ‘turbo back’ exhaust system outperforms the factory system in every way. Bends are smoother, and the gas flow more balanced and it is also lighter than its OE counterpart.

The AmD remap builds on the exhaust system’s improvements to significantly improve drivability, power and torque – particularly in the all-important mid-range.

Best of all, if you purchase the exhaust system at the same time as the remap, AmD will give you a 50% discount on the remap!

Fitting can be carried out at AmD’s Lakeside tuning centre conveniently located close to the M25 London Orbital Motorway and next to the Dartford Crossing and Lakeside Shopping Centre.
