That's impressive Steve! With the big bore intake and Corrado throttle body, they'll open up the intake more since they're bigger than stock? So theoretically, what gains would you see from them?

the thing about modifying your car, is that there is no specific power rating for each component,
for lets say a intake.. there are number of factors that contribute to this, you could have the same car, same mods, and one might make more than the other, all depends how the car was treated, run in when you, and the tune of it, I guess that’s why people do dynos...
how many MK5 Gti's we have seen with the same software, give out different power outputs..
Hehe yeah its looking sweet right there, and thats quite good cause that daily driving if I want to push it a little more than pussying it around really :)
Raymond not to sure about that but I amhoping to getting a little better responce down low with it, much more snappier so to speak:)
I still owe you that ride mate will do soon:D
btw, whats your RPM limit at? 7k?
Well standard its obviously at 6500rpms
With chip I have been told 7300rpms :D (but I would not recommend it all the time, only once a month not even maybe)
I usually just hit 6500rpms or just push a tad over sometimes!
The RPM limit is set by the ECU, and i know with a chip it allows you to change certain things with certain chips but is it possible to actually change the RPM limit to what you want with a chip?
Also how can u push just past 6500 if thats what the RPM limit is at or is that with the chip in it already.
If you dont mind me asking how much is a decent chip worth these days, cause im thinking about it when i get my car one of these days haha but i thought if they are still a bit pricey then i may as well put an aftermarket ECU (Motec) in and then i have all the freedom i want with it and i can tune it when and how i want.
Cheers

Hey Alex to answer some of your questions, the chip that I have is GIAC www.giacusa.com you can go there to find out more or the Sydney mechanic who is the distributor/ dealer is euroauto.com.au which is owned by Seb who did all of my work on the car :)
The chip allows you go push red line to 7300rpms, where it used to cut out at 6500rpms the chip keeps going. Its good but not always recommended to sit in the red line all the time:D
The chip is also programmed with code that works with exhaust, cams, and fuel maps :)
Hope that answers all your questions, but for more accurate and in detail speak to Seb at euro automotive!
