I would sooner spend the extra and get  a proper remap and have some sort of guarente that its not going to fook your car.
MK4 GTI T AGU, REVO Remap, BMC carbon box, Miltek cat back, Forge diverter valve, THS FR3 engine/Gbox mounts, Some random alloys, lowered on coilovers.
192bhp 212lbft torque.

Its probably just chip they bought for 20p  :laugh: Get a remap. You wont gain much from a N/A car but will prob give about 180bhp and better throttle response.

If you told R-Tech you were going to put that on your car he'd probably lower his price just to save you the damage it'd do  :smiley:
