Just get the car set up right, and get the WUR mod done and it will be fine.  Kjet is better than digi imo and they are faster.

Not on a k-jet, the fuel injection is all mechanical so nothing to chip :wink:

The WUR mod modifies the fuel pressure i think, not sure how effective it is on the 8v though, it's normally carried out on the 16v

Just give it a good service, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, then get a garage who knows about vws to set it up correctly, timing, co ect... 

Unless you can do it yourself which will save you ££, there is plenty of guides on here that will show you how.

Is this for the blue F reg car in your photobucket? I'd be very surprised if that is an 8v k-jet motor

Is it possible to have a digi mk2 custom remapped or is it just a case of getting one of them chips off ebay?

You won't gain alot, because it's not forced induction. I thin with N/A remaps you get about 5hp so not worth the price tag..however if you have a turbo different matter!

The ebay chips are sh1t, I got one to try out and leaves big flatspots especially after 5k rpm so I put the old one back in.  Just set your digi up as in Rubjonnys FAQ and it will be sweet as.
