    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 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.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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)

    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 !!

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