    Yeah, but this one is apparently easy to put on and off without leaving any trace behind... I dont want the volkswagen service centre re mapping it every time I get a service done?

    Almost all tuners will allow a free reflash if a dealer updates your ECU while in service.
    Also, while they may be easy to get on or off, they are very crude and you are dealing with sensitive electronics and mapping in a 30k car.

    Don't go with a chip, period. Always use a tune.

    Do some searching and you'll find out why.

    Can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much a tune will cost me?

    Between $650ish to $1800ish depending on vendor & what options you choose. eg: multiple maps, generic self-load tune, more targetted tune with dyno runs, tune with super-duper warranty, German tunes, American tunes, pommie tunes, tunes with extra hardware, etc

    There would be several threads on this subject in the tuning & performance area that give vendors names & approximate pricing.
