I used to have a Polo TDi that came with the 96kW engine as standard. I chipped it with the REVO Technik Chip and the gains were the best I've seen.

Standard KW @ Fly 101Kw (diesels always are higher than what stock should be)
REVO KW @ Fly 131Kw (15 minutes later)

Never had a moments hassle with it and when we compared torque, power and performance with 2 other chip types (Dastek & somethingelse) the revo always came out on top.

The difference is to see how many variables the chip with alter to get the best performance. The REVO modifies 55 settings on the diesel engines where as some of the chips out there only alter boost and nothing else. Be careful with the chips that make only boost modifications as they will break your car in time.

depends on the chip the oettinger one I beleive is a full re flash and very hard to detect the dp one changes your fuel pump settings / delivery which s easy to detect through diagnostics, but feel free to correct me.

I have a Golf V 2.0 TDI which had a flash upgrade of ECU with the Optican OBD tuning which is probably similar to Oetinger and Revo Technik.
125kw and 375NM of torque for $1500.
Flash upgrade is undetectable, only a rolling road dyno would detect the difference.
The quality of power delivery is excellent and it will out pull local V6's as well as Mk 4 RS32 on the open road.
Before spending money on making the car a "Performance Car" a "High Performance" driving course will set you back less and show you how to get the very best from what you already have. Around Sandown Raceway the 2.0 TDI with standard tyres and brakes and no performance add ons is not a lot slower than a GTi when driven well so becoming a performance driver and learning to handle what you have already will make your car go a lot faster (and then upgrade chip of course!!).
