    need roughly under 700$:

    chip GIAC baby = 500$
    dv(bov for jap people) = 50-150$
    k&n filter = 50$

    that will yeild you around 45-55whp/70-80lbs... best bang for the buck. then from there exhaust + dp (techtonics tuning makes a good dp + hiflo cat)

    EPG is the only VW shop to go to... i highly wouldn't suggest using Jap shops

    Eurotech - 770.794.7240

    Software is a flash program it is flashed on your ecu takes about 10-20mins. Call up EPG tell them Paul from IA sent ya and they will take care of you.
