do u run in stock or sts? do u know if ill be able to run sts if im chipped?
i know guys who run in a stock class w/ software (it is cheating though)

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.
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.


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

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