    Heard good stuff on vwvortex......
    I have the exact same chip in my mk2, It has made a nice little boost for the price. It has stopped the digi lag as they call it. For $50 to your door you can't go wrong. Not much else you can do to digi 2 unless you go standalone.

    Haha Yeah I am considering it! Im on the Northern beaches in Sydney if has a chip they wanna show off! Im open to options. I def need a bit more grunt. Getting sick of the gutless 1st gear. What would be my price range for a "good" chip. Does anyone know of any good VW performance places around brooky or sydney city somewhere?

    I've researched chips for the mk3 and the prices range from around 75-120 so 50-100 bucks is far from unreasonable, although hardly any of them are suitable for our aussie car cpu's you might have problems finding a chip on that basis.

    I'm gonna have a go on one of those mk3 Gl chips for 30 pounds, I'll tell everyone how it goes

    I think since I bought it they came down due to the US Dollar, The gain I got was about 14kw at the wheels

    Canberra dyno was a joke if I went there again I would have hit 125kw 30 year old dyno, its not going to work that good anymore!

    So the mainline dyno was the first dyno run. Against a stock vr6 it got 14kw gain at the wheels

    but your chip didnt give you 14kw's.. all the other mods added up to 14k'ws @ d wheels. so pretty much the 800 u spent prob gave u half of your gains, maybe even less.
