Welcome Jase.

Chips - yes, yes, yes.

There are a couple of threads here on that subject.

I'd take a day (or a few days) off work, get a large amount of whatever you like to drink and take the time to peruse.

The long and short - chip makes a BIG difference (though i don't have one ) and the warranty subject seems to vary on whom you speak to.

Hey mate, welcome.

There's a million threads on chips, but to sum it up, they cost between 1100 and 1800 dollars and all take you to ~ 140-150 kw at the fly and 290-320 Nm. Heaps of people have it done and have had warranty work done.

Cheers,

-Phil

mines chipped, seat intake, BMC air filter, H&R springs...the dealer knows about everything and I had warranty work done two weeks ago.

Welcome mate, a big congrats on the new purchase. I've chipped mine and boy does it make a huge difference. Just wait until you've done several more mods like a front mount intercooler, air filter, larger air intake etc then you'll REALLY notice the POWER and fun. Quite addictive I must say and definately a lil pocket rocket.

Welcome!

Find someone on the forum local to you...go for a spin with them if chipped...take a towel and spare underwear

mines Chipped...love it - warrenty is intact unless dealer can prove the modification caused the fault

welocme to the forum mate. try taking a look at the faq (frequently asked questions)/ diy thread. it has loads of reading material for you including guides to chipping etc. and fyi just in future the topic of chipping and "whos the best" is a quick trip to the thread turning into a flame wa and ultimatly the thread being locked. just a bit of friendly advise. have fun your gonna love it .

chip it and put it on VALET MODE, then u know how fast the gti really is
