Evening, I'm seriously considering chipping my MK5 GTI early next year, to be honest it makes me sick that there's a ford focus a vauxhall astra a seat leon and a bloody renault megane out there with more bhp, plus if I'm honest, I'm starting to feel that my motor isn't quite quick enough. Has anyone chipped their GTI? If so who did you go with, what difference did it make to the drive, fuel economy and insurance etc.
Mucho grassy ass and a Merry Christmas one and all :laugh:

2 true mate, the GTI is an icon and it's miles better looking. :wink:

Yep, the gti is the most desirable of all the hatchbacks. I desperately want a mk5!

Already read that post, doesn't give much info on the different companies out there and how much bang you get for your buck, was possibly looking to go with Superchip, anyone had there MK5 GTI done by them?
-
Someone in another thread mentioned that their dealer offered to 'chip' their car, which kept the warranty in tact. Does anyone have any info on this?
Cheers,

That was me. Haven't really got any info, but the sales man told me they would take the car (GTi) to AMD for me if i wanted for a 250bhp chip and as they oversee the work the warranty is still valid. Email if you have any questions but thats about all i know.
-
any ideas how much that is???
-
Cheers for the info - I will speak to my dealer as it sounds like an 'individual dealer' discretion.

Dealer told me £500 which sounded too good to be true. I think it prob is an indivdual dealer type thing as we are based very close to AMD. I know all the MD's of the branch get their cars done. Their R32 is currently pushing 280bhp.

Have a look on tyresmoke my friend. You're right the standard car lacks power. The Renault is the pick of what you mentioned and is what VW should have done with the ED30. If you see one on a b road smile and watch it disappear. There more powerful, lighter, have LSD!!! and are great fun. Do it re-map you now you want to! Rant over
