Can I chip my mk3 gti 16V? All help appreciated!

[Len]

Yes but again Andres your power improvements are not just the chip!
And that is what the OP was asking about.

Agree about JKM but remember when you go there its usually cold and its darn near to sea level.
Go to another RR at say 300 feet altitude (av. for England) on a warm day and figures will be lower.

hmm so the first few mods on my BEAST will be bringing it back up to stock hp before i go over the epic 115hp mark!?

Edit. Just reread post and I'm talking crap.

This thread is about the 16v NOT 8v.

This is mine with approx 114k miles only mods enclosed airfilter with cold air feed, sports cat with cat back stainless system full service at time and apparently with a chip on but this isn't proven but going by everyone else's figures i think it might have  I think i'm going to try a custom remap in the spring running 99 ron and see what it achieves

Doesn't seem to rev much or hold the power at the top, and curves seem a bit sharp. You can clearly see where it comes "on cam" though at about 3600rpm. I'd say it's not chipped.

Here's mine when it's healthy.

does seem a bit strange the 16v revs dying so early. least a few hundred more there!

Mine is limited at 7200 revs but the power drops off at approx 6600

I didn't realise it was running bad  i don't really understand graphs if i'm honest what do think could be wrong ? I have noticed lately it has flat spots so was going to see if a remap can sort all this out ? considering a balanced flywheel aswell maybe that would help out also?

It does rev upto 7200 rpm not sure why it only went upto about 6500 tbh perhaps they didn't push it as much as they should i had just drove 2 hrs to get it done at carbon in manchester
