Anyone chipped their GTI?
« on: 21 December 2006, 19:23 »
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:

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

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.
