i dont have much money to spend at the moment, but if the price is outrageously low then id be interested, they usually go for $500 right? i have a 2001 vw jetta 1.8t.

Same situation here, but who knows? A4 Quattro 2.0T 2007

[4dmin]

normally the software is routhly 300? for 2.slo/vr6, 500? 1.8t, 550? 2.0t, etc... (i'm approx on the prices)

but i will tell you guys get the software... NA guys will get some better response and some higher numbers(but you pay less), Turbo/Supercharger guys will get HUGE gains you will think you bought a completely different car. i know my 1.8t went from daily OK driver to OMG :eek: FEED IT FUEL!!!

if you drive VW/AUDI and you don't have software... WHY is the only question?

I would love some software but I can't take moving up in class at the SCCA Autocross. My car is not setup for Street Modified and I would be killed.:idb:

Hopefully in a year or so I will be ready to play with the big guys.

Paul, throw me on that list, ill think about coming to the dark side depending on the price :)

do u run in stock or sts? do u know if ill be able to run sts if im chipped?

[Jecht]

I'm too cheap to pay for 91 or 93 octane gas. lol

[Julio]

Even @ 500 bucks.. A Software upgrade that gets your 40 + Horses and 70+ TQ , I think is money well spent.

GIAC > The world

[green_pedro7]

I would but I just ordered some wood trim, air intake w/heatshield, and some tinted tails.

But If its a cheap enough price then I might have to put alot of thought into it. Would it screw it over if I still put 87 in there? Ive heard that it will just adjust itself to the gas, but will be less hp/tq with less octane.

I wish i knew you could have done a group buy before i bought it awhile back, i already have X+ .14 i think, got it updated back in october as well as some repairs at EPG

[Ltdnismorace]

any benefits for an otherwise stock motor?

[Congogrey]

do u run in stock or sts? do u know if ill be able to run sts if im chipped?

I run in STX (the MkV has a 2.0L Turbo engine). If your car is N/A then you can chip till your hearts content. If you have forced induction then you can upgrade the ECu but you can't manipulate the stock boost levels. If you chip your turbo car then you would go into the SM class.:police:

i know guys who run in a stock class w/ software ;) (it is cheating though)

ummm you can't run 87 w/ software... actually you shouldn't be using 87 w/ 1.8t anyway... 91+ only ;)


any benefits for an otherwise stock motor?

benefits... lol try 40+ whp 70+ lbs... its the best upgrade you can ever do to these cars... just chip + k&n filter + new dv and your done; never touch it again.

just as julio stated there is no mod like software... this is the best and 1st mod that should be done to VW/AUDI

I think he was talking about his 2.0 ABA not a 1.8T. From what Ive read a chip gives better throttle response, raises the rev limiter and removes the govenor as well as adding a few hp on a NA setup. Where you would really see alot of results is if you had a set of cams to go along with the chip.

I think GIAC does a chip for my VR that is specific for the different aftermarket cams. That would be the only reason I would get chipped is if I picked up some cams for it too. Only because chipping a NA motor is never that impresive.

1.8T is another animal and gets so much from a

Lee :cheers:

[Ltdnismorace]

yes I was talking about my 2.slow as it's called and I'm not going to be getting cams or any other performance mod so this chip wouldn't really benefit me as a point A to point B DD.

[Jecht]

yes I was talking about my 2.slow as it's called and I'm not going to be getting cams or any other performance mod so this chip wouldn't really benefit me as a point A to point B DD.

It would be necessary to run 91 or 93 octane gas. The chip will probably net you a 5-8 horsepower gain and a gain in torque in the higher RPM range. It will also raise the rev limiter and the speed governor.

[4dmin]

yes I was talking about my 2.slow as it's called and I'm not going to be getting cams or any other performance mod so this chip wouldn't really benefit me as a point A to point B DD.

it would be worth it if you want alittle more pep out of your motor... software upgrade is always the best bang for your buck when you have a euro ;)

chip it + k&n = great N/A DD w/ alittle more pep then your normal na dd :( (but the cost ofr N/A chip is significantly cheaper then 1.8t.. standard price is like 250-300... so i would think w/ discount i would definately do it... probably the best mod you can get for N/A minus going internal ie. cams)

[Digipix]

add me to the list will the price we get be with a dyno run (befor and after)?
06 Audi A3 2.0t

[quadmasta]

I thought you guys were Vortex guys. Brian at EPG quoted me $750 + tax for the pump gas map, stock map and the flashloader, can you beat that?

06 GLI 2.0T 6MT

[Digipix]

add a 04 Audi A4 1.8t to the list if the price is right.:goodjob:

C'mon, I'm supposed to go see Brian at 2 :)

06 GLI 2.0T 6MTIf its prices like that, count me out. I was looking at like $400 or lower lol.

[Allstar3.8T]

I dont see a price for th GB....

[4dmin]

If its prices like that, count me out. I was looking at like $400 or lower lol.

no normal price is approx 550 for 2.t and 500 for 1.8t... i'm thinking depending on the amount of people we get 10-20% which is pretty nice break. as soon as we get more numbers i will get w/ brian on an exact discount.

[Dominic49]

is there software for the 3.0?

[Digipix]

whats the hold up are going to get chipped or not????? how many more are you waiting on?

[4dmin]

well now that u've found ur way here i think u should be all set :D :goodjob:

[ShooterMcGavin]

i could be in depending on price :goodjob:

[Julio]

C'mon Peeps!!! The best mod on the PLANET!!!! =]

Remember when considering a chip... you will need a Diverter Valve for better results. So dont forget that cost also!!

Dont be cheap you pansy's !!

[ShooterMcGavin]

2.0T's have a diverter valve, although the earlier production ones had problems w/their seals i believe.

[at165db]

Fortunately, I know exactly when my car was made (right before my07), cuz I had to order it and wait for it to come here on a friggin boat... (not to mention the other identifiers of when it was manufactured...).

But yeah, from everything I've read it seems that the 2.0T's are basically ready to chip right from the dealer, as long as you've broken in the engine.

13.5k miles, got my V1, fresh mobil 1, and a new K&N, a chip is the next (first real) mod on my list.

[at165db]

Just an FYI... I got an interesting e-mail this morning. Turns out that the local Audi Club has a sponsor offering APR discousts. I've sent them an e-mail to see what kind of discount it is. I'll let y'all know when I hear something. I'm not saying goapr, but it'll be nice to know how much this group buy will save us :->

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^old news, u woulda known this had u been at the last vw/audi meet ;)

[Jiggsy]

any updates?

[at165db]

so I heard back from the apr guys:

"The Cherokee Chapter gets 10% off retail chip prices. Your price would be $673.20 for stock and 93, instead of $748. With 7% tax and $42.50 labor, your total would be $762.82
Read up on APR's website, and keep in mind if you add the $59 security option the complete system is 100% undetectable from dealerships."

One thing to note!!!!
Apparently there could be an ecu upgarde waiting for us when we go in for service.

[green_pedro7]

I got one question, I found a guy that has a passat and is selling his, the number on the chip is all the same expect for the last 1 letter. Does that make any difference at all? could whoever installs it change it over so it fits my passat?

His is: 2002 Passat® 1.8T 4B0906018CM
