Should I?

[BrettD]

Hi All,

Am very close to purchasing a 2002 Passat GP,2.0turbo(good price for what seems a car in good nick)

I believe this a good vehicle overall, but am a little concerned with pick up( have heard they are a little doughy) I am yet to drive it as I have to fly interstate to pick it up.

Is this the case and if so what can I do to give it a 'little ' help?

Thanks

If you want to improve actual performance, a chip upgrade is the best bang for your buck...

If it is just the acceleration feel, there is a device called "Sprintbooster" that improves the accelerator pedal response...

Is there a particular chip that is better value/quality than another, and what sort of money are we talking?

They're all much the same find out who you're local tuner is mate.

edit put your location please.

Maybe it is a stroked motor?

Have done some looking into the 'Sprintbooster', and the concesus seems to be that it isnt worth 'a pinch of s!#t'..

Have also noticed on the net, so called 'Performance chips' worth about $20..what makes one better than another for $300???

Anybody able to help me??....please

Do a google search - I remember there were some chip comparison tests done by some magazines...

Bear in mind that not all brands are readily available here and you may also want to consider local aftersales support...
