Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI122 with TSI160 turbo kit

Most TSI122 engines and specially CAX variants can receive the TSI160 turbo kit upgrade. This allows them to produce power like their CAV engine counterparts, without the complexity of needing a supercharger system. This comes at a small sacrifice of torque in the very low rpm range, up to 2500rpm. And a big gain of power at mid and high rpm after that.

In terms of reliability, the engine can withstand the abuse and the turbo is an OEM unit.
