Title: Remapping? Tuning? Superchip?
Post by: pablo on 02 September 2006, 20:06: Had a little look through the forum and picking up the above terminologies.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â To be honest I am confusedÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :huh:

As a newbie to modding the whole experience is a little confusing but am learningÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :nerd:

I have a mk 3 (d'oh pretty obvious as in the mk 3 thread!) 2.0 8v (98).Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Are there any gains by modding the ECU?Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â What mods could I do to the ECU and what gains could I expect?

sorry sony.

Post by: nosaj26 on 08 September 2006, 09:55: i have mk3 8v if you want it to run better try putting milltek cat back on to replace standard system this makes huge difference, plus k&n better airflow, power boost valve - better throttle response and then i had superchip. by adding superchip to this combo it helps run it smoothly, would i buy one on there own, no, user chipping to comlement or you could be dissapointed!!!
