get a 2.0l bottom end...should be a little more ooopmh. think there is a faq in the mk2 section as well.,..i know someone was doing a full job of a walkthrough on it anyway.

dont know if you can trust a man offering unlimitted free sex contacts but have a look at this ebay seller. reading through his feedback he has sold a couple with positive feedback although one person says the chip was a "powerchip" rather than vw motorsport. looks a decent price though

Can be seen running etc.

I take it you have the digi engine?
you can pick the replacement chip itself up for £20 off ebay, try a seller called "higherpeaks"
i tried one for 6 months and although the car pulled better through the gears, fuel economy wasnt much different. i think my knock sensor is busted mind so it made my pinking problem much worse!
-
wish i could find ya seller.. tryed serching to no avail!
seen some "DUB PERFORMANCE" chip for £15... surley they cant work, or no 1 would pay £Â£Ã‚£`s for remaps chips etc.
-
iirc its a remapped chip using a standard remap. its probably a superchips copy.
these things are apparently easy to copy, the chip themselves cost very little.
they do make a difference, but dont expect it to feel like you bolted a turbo on :tongue:

I had one on my old mk2 and it seemed to pull better at the top end. Fuel consumption was no different. And i got mine from Higher Peaks too I think.

that is very tempting... do you have pics???
-
chips are about £3 tops... its always the code that costs...i know that the old ps1 was done that way and the chips back then were £1 and sold for £15 and then more for fitment so a copy of a known remap is always gonna be cheaper!
