Any $30 modification to your ECU is dodgy, I think. Correct me if I am wrong, please!!!!

The old rule of thumb is you get what you pay for.

I remember looking at this last year and saw the bad reviews that this atually had, one guy had to rebuild his motor as it was stuffed

Heard good stuff on vwvortex......

That one actually looks like a proper re-mapped chip, so it could be OK... I still question why so cheap...

I tell ya what - why dont YOU try it and let us know.

It's a bit like organising a fight out the back of a pub and saying if I'm not there in 5 - start without me!

I reckon save up and get a real chip from one of the leading brands. APR, GIAC just to name a few.

Dont ask which ones better coz i'll shoot you. Im sure there are a few here that would be more than happy to take you for a spin.
