  • Countdown to the chippery

    I just thought I'd share a bit of my excitement with you all. I've just been asked to do an extra 18 hours of overtime (36 hours of pay) for the week. By my calculations, that will secure me more than enough to get my chip. Bwahahahahahahaha

    Here lies the problem....

    I need to race down to the bank on pay day and stash the money away before the other half relises my fatened up pay packet and then goes and blows it all on me (read: whats mine is theirs and whats theirs is theirs..)

    Hmmm. I think if I buy some flowers or chocolate on the way home friday then I should be let of the leash on the Saturday long enough to go and get it done.

    I'm keen to get a dyno done before and after so I can oggle over the power gain even when I'm not driving. Can anyone recomend a place in Vic and how much should I expect to pay for a run?

      Weltmeister the Porsche Specialists in Vic. I've been quoted a price of $1100 for the Giac program. It's a personal choice and I'm sure you all have your opinions but this was a very fair quote IMO.

      Let keep this clean guys.

          Haven't been there yet (next week) but Dean at Volkspower use Peter Fitzgerald Racing Services in Box Hill (03 9897 1555).
          He said they've also got charts for pogs in various states of tune.

            Quote from GIAC's website:

            GIAC performance software for the 2000 Golf®/Jetta® 1.8T smoothly delivers a 40-50 hp and 50 ft-lbs gain.

            I'd realy like to get the car dyno'd before and after so we can see the difference just need to find someone independant to do it...

                      It does sound like a bargain. I'm waiting on a response for when they'll book it in. I sent back the email they sent me with the quote. I hope the price doesn't change...

                            I knew it was to good to be true. It went from 1100 to 1500.

                            Back to the drawing board....
