You will notice a huge differnce with stock wheels. those wheels are way to big to be doin ght 1/4 mile with. They would slow your launches big time.

was your experience with c1 good??? i've heard mixed reviews. how much was the chip?? also how did you break the car in??

i heard about 1200 for the chip and the performance increase is amazing. Thing i would like to know is how does the car respond to the chip, had a chip in my old car but it was a piggy back unit and sometimes it wasnt as flawless as I had hoped

Also to all of u who have GTI's, where did you get them from, I am a little sketchy about northland, but last time i went in there a younger guy helped me out and he seemed pretty good.

as far as I remember I saw 2 chipped ones run this summer and both ran 15s?

eheh thats what i got

get an upsolute chip, its ~$500 for same power...

for the chips in the states it's $600. just wondering what c1 would charge?? i've heard they respond very well to the chip, but that's from the owner's who may be one sided. i only know of a few chip companies (revo,apr,.......can't remember).

i bought mine off a guy on eurodrivers he works at 5th ave auto house ( actually it's on barlow and 16th ave), he was great to deal with but the high demand you aren't going to get a deal.

anyone have vag com??

15's isnt all that quick. What kind of trap speeds, though? I have similar times with my b18c ek hatch, but got worked over pretty bad on deerfoot by a new mk5 gti.

probably cuz the VW has quite a bit more torque than the b18...

yep, chipped mk5 gti should have more than twice the trq at half of the rpm than a b18c. You would think they would be a little quicker at the track though, despite their hefty weight.

That being said, I really like the new gti's. Would make a great daily driver. Prolly the nicest interior in that price range, imo.
