  • Hi Chip upgrade

    Hi
    I am new to the forum.
    Just got my new Mark VI GtI (3 dr DSG).
    I am quite keen to get the chip upgrade but have a few questions.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for the Sydney area?
    Should I wait until the engine is broken in?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers

    why don't you enjoy your car as it is for 6-12+ months before you chip it? I know with my WRX i appreciated it stock and then with each improvement i had further enjoyment with the changes. Just my opinion though.

      Thanks for the very pragmatic and sensible response.
      I tend to be very impatient and impulsive.
      I suppose I am curious as to how quick and fun these cars can be.

        definitely wait til the engine is broken in. Also warranty becomes a big issue on chipped cars. So before you start playing around with it, make sure there are no issued pre-chip. If you havent driven a quick car before, get used to it before you kill yourself. These cars are pocket rockets when done up and should not be taken lightly. The day I left a VY SS and a 33skyline for dead, they were not impressed at the next set of lights.
