Same as any other 1.8T just a beefier and stiffer suspension, no engine upgrades.

If all you got to do is put in a chip... I'd say its a pretty damn good car to begin with. =) Honda or not, its a good car.

I agree. If you have the chance to start with a factory turbo, you are one (major) step ahead in the game. Then you can focus on the stuff we all want to do once our FI setups are running like exhaust, suspension, etc. My buddy got his GTI chipped, and it is sweet. The difference driving my car vs. the factory boosted car is ver noticeable. It is so smooth and integrated.

If you are 'chipping' a car you really arnt making it that much faster, just changing around a fuel map....from economy to power based...and increasing boost...

I think its annoying to hear people claim the 'chip' gave this all the power...no dumbass your wastgate is just closing off sooner, and you are pushing your fuel system to its max, trying and keep your Unmodified fuel system from running too lean.

Save your money, buy bigger injectors, and a manual boost controller, then lets talk
