    I have had the powerchip tune on my Polo Gti 2006 1.8T and also run it on my Jetta 147Kw 2.0TFSI the tune is good but you will need to add the labour and dyno charge of around $500 on top.
    My advice would be to go with the Custom Code tune it is better value, I am running a different tune now I am stage 2 on my Jetta but was happy on the Powerchip tune at stock.

    Gavin where are you based mate? How would you go about doing a car in Newcastle?

    My plans for the car is just a daily drive at the moment, however I work away so it doesn't get driven all that often anyway. I am hoping to do some track days in the near future, and obviously a bit more power will make that more enjoyable. Probably do a suspension overhaul at some point as well (lowered at the moment but I'll probably go down the coil overs path).

    I am looking at a gti with 200k on it, with good service history I don't see why there would be a drama with a 200k plus car.
    my current 1998 festiva 1.5 has 355k km on it and is only just showing signs of blowing a bit of smoke on start up and getting a bit noisy and its a crappy jap/korean ultra budget car....

    I am in Brisbane, the ECU needs to come out to either flash or solder in the chip depending on who you choose. You can post it to me and get it back 2 days later, using express post.
