just bought a 2001 1.8t quattro and i understand that noticeable difference in HP with a quick chip.
I have the Neuspeed chip eyed up as a matter of fact........
My question is, at what price do you pay for this HP? Obviously if these engine tweeks could have been done for the HP gain with NO negative effects to your engine, the factory would have done it, lets face it a price of a car IS affected by what HP it puts out...
My first guesses would be blown gaskets, less life span on the turbo, less engine life even, but i'm just making educted assumptions.....
So, what do you guys know about this?
oh, and i have a post on snow tires i could use some help on....
Thanx
