If you had a spare $2000 to spend on your VW...

And the reasoning behind the "eek no!" ?

The 3 turbo's Ive replaced that have cracked and dropped boost cause the car was running too lean !

I would only use a MBC to wind the boost down to slow down surging . When your boosting past what the ecu thinks the engine is getting your gonna eventually do some kind of damage . The lambda probe cant react quick enough to the extra boost and the whole ignition side is out of whack . For the drags with race fuel sure its only 15 seconds or less . Daily driving is a big no no . Thats just my thoughts

Thanks bug_racer for the reasoning behind the question/statement.

Boost controller to wind down boost down is what i'm looking at doing.

And sorry for the newbiness, but does the chip really make that much difference to justify the cost?

Why don't you go for a trial run? Hop on a chipped APR/GIAC car or go for a Revo 5 hour trial to see how it would actually run on your car.

I finally took the full plunge today and although I wanted more (don't we all), I am very pleased with the extra power and torque in the lower-mid range (I'm not a redline driver). Feels better going up my steep drive way too.

Itching to get something before my vessels leaves both the east and west coast US in a weeks time.

I've been looking at the TyrolSport SMIC's, any feedback from anyone here?

I have seen better feedback on this rather than the Forge units which appear smaller.
