Just bought a Mk2 GTI

[anarchycamp]

and a couple more....

[anarchycamp]

Took the MkII for a nice long drive today.....have to say....is awesome to drive!!!!!

I think I need to get a decent set of tyres on it, the guy who i bought it off put some cheap things on and they screech on the slightest bit of spirited cornering!

Also have a huge list (already) of things to do/fix....but thats half the fun (heart ache) right?

I wouldn't buy a chip for $50 in a million years, put it toward a highflow air filter BMC/K&N type. At least that will do something.

I used to have a dyno and our customers would come in with these internet chips and not one went up in power. All went backwards in power torque and driveability. We usual had to take them out on the same day.

If you want a chip get something form a reputable company in Aus or a recommended VW tuner in the uk like AmD which have had huge experience with tuning Golfs.

Just my 2c worth from 15 years in the industry.

Cheers,

Simon

PS. Wrecking a red Mk2 if anybody needs any parts. engine has 80k on it.

Cheers

coming from someone who has one with a k&n pod filter, they work well imo. You're spending $50 and digi2 ecu's arn't tunable by any standards but better fueling through higher revs is good and quicker response times from the chip is also good which cuts out the digilag, thats all most claim to do.

My questions are: How do you see over the steering wheel, reach the peddles ... and get your license?

Booster seat and leg extensions!

I'd love to cure my digilag... i've had it for nearly 5 years, from the day i bought the car. What is the best way to do this if these $50 chips only do bad things?
