My mistake, I am not a VW rat. On Subies an intake does have a rather large effect.
Leave Volkswagen alone...she's going through a custody battle.

putting in chip, turbo, headers, pipes, exhaust and a few other things will bring it up to 330HP
Buying a different car can also bring you up to that as well.
I love quoting intelligent posts
You've got that right! Esp. when turbo cars have headers and all that jazz..
I'm seeing alot of stupid comments regarding chips and the car in general, please research chips.
SPAM! I have some HRE 540's for sale!
funny. I've bought, owned, sold, driven and wrenched (not necessarily in that order
) on plenty of vw 1.3s, 1.4s, 1.6s and 1.8s with plenty more than 100k miles that ran like tops. I guess it depends on how well you drive / maintain your equipment.my 91 mkii carat has only slightly more miles than stevew's coupe...
Bullsh!t....
1993 Passat VR6 191,000 miles
1989 VW GTI 1.8 16V 180,000 miles
1992 VW Jetta GL 8V 200,000 miles
The Passat is still running. The Jetta was running fine when I sold it in CO. The 16V engine was still running when it was pulled from the GTI and the car was crushed. That engine is still in my older brothers garage. And I am absolutely horrible when it comes to oil changes and sh!t like that.
My ex-es '93 Passat GLX (VR6) has about that many miles and the engine is still going. She's on her 2nd or 3rd transmission (auto crap), but the engine still runs. I know she never has the oil changed less than every 10k either.
She does blow a lot of fuses though.
I wish my subaru had the VR6 from my GTI. The rest of the GTI could stay on the VW or in the cardboard box I kept all the parts that fell off in.

I was originally thinking of going with APR for the program switchability with the cruise control, but the tune isn't as aggressive as GIAC and the local dealer charges an arm and a leg for an install. I don't think I'll ever switch it off of 91 octane anyway...
You live close to EIP?
Well then, have I got a deal for you!
Shipping should be around $400. LMK. :biggrin:
BTW, Steve, I'm stealing your coupe in the night.
Wow I think V Dubs are the most loved and hated car brand on earth after seeing all these threads that blue starts
Like most everything car/truck, I love just about anything anything pre '73. I love V Dubs, especially pre '69. You can have the FWD garbage and the chip related performance crap.
10 minutes from them...delt with them when I worked for VW, they lost their account 3 times. The private owner isn't a bad guy (I know him personally) but Rich is'nt the best businessman.
Go with APR, it's nice and smooth, GIAC is if you want the most all out power but it isn't as smooth and wil surge in certain gears. Revo is nearly the same as APR as it's one of APR's founders that ran away with some of the programming. I'm getting a K04 kit together now and will be running their software since othing beats OEM power.
No thanks. It would stick out a few feet from the front bumper if I could mount it to the tranny and I don't have any room in my closet for fuel.Well then, have I got a deal for you!

There's $100 I don't have
I might dyno it at some point, but it might be after more stuff is done. I've never been one to dyno all the time, costs too much and honestly, I don't really care all that much.
The steering rack is really quick...Now I see why they're semi-popular for auto-x.
Gee...I have the 1.8T in my '02 Jetta. Maybe I should get a chip so I could have 230hp in it.
Every modern car sold can exceed the speed limit by a significant margin. Extra horsepower is needed to accelerate uphill with a carload of passengers in a headwind.
blue: uping the injectors really is the next step if you want the most bang from the apr chip.
larson: are those 5x112? how much $ were you thinking?

Indeed....it's not top speed. It's the accelration.
And I discovered that my Jetta is not speed limted. Most cars around here are governed around 180kph. I broke 200 kph the other day and it showed no signs of cutting out.
Most cars are speed limited to the rating of their tires if the engine is capable of exceeding it. A car that can push 130 mph that comes with S rated tires is a large lawsuit waiting to happen.
Well mine are H rated...good up to 210kph....Well THAT was close...
In a hurry were we? Out in the boonies of H-bury?
My "mean machine" 3 cuts out at 189 km/hr.
Your car sux
Dude - he lives in Utah. Land of the 140mph runs across the desert.
Oh pipe down, Dr. Data.
yeah I call BS...nothing against you Blue but I don't see how it's possible with just a "chip"....D
It's called the "placebo effect"... look it up.
If anyone opened this thread hoping for any insightful knowledge from blue, you were clearly mistaken.
Let me help you in the future. You won't find insight from blue. Period. Ever.

Shut up and get my sandwich. I think there are several people here that can speak intelligently about them.

What in God's name are you rambling on about?
