I have a TDI Chipped to 220bhp 1/4 mile at york 15.34 et terminal of 91.4 mph, not to bad when you consider an average of 44mpg, just about to replace it test drove a MK5 gti and gt tdi back to back on the same route at similar speeds, according to computor 34.6mpg in the gti and an amazing 48.9mpg in the gt tdi, they may sound like a tractor when cold and being pushed, but once they are chipped they go very well. :wink:

I bet you carn't guess what I ordered? clue better fuel comsumption, and in daily driving little to pick from in real world performance. :cool:

Ps- yes I am a tight and dislike giving my hard earned cash to the goverment in excessive amounts of fuel duty.
