Have a .8 BAR chip and have questions about upgrading to 1.0 BAR
I currently have a neuspeed .8 bar chip installed in my 98.5 quattro. I have definetly noticed an increase of power but after I installed a boost gauge I saw that I was only making about 10psi at WOT. I have been thinking about replacing my chip with neuspeed's 1.0 Bar chip to make some more boost but my car has 70,000 miles and i don't want to jeopordize realiability. Any suggestions/advice.
Thanks a lot guys

You'll be fine with the 1.0 bar.
It's really about your driving habits. 70k is still young for the car. I slapped on a big turbo kit at 65k and am still running strong. I don't think the 1 bar chip will hurt.
Before the the T28, I was running a GIAC 1.1 bar since 5k. My engine is still doing fine (knock on wood heh).

78k. Just do a compression test first if you're concerned.
I am keeping this car and if need be I will swap out the engine if anything bad happens (praying nothing goes wrong of course).
BTW, it's a daily driver for me and I love it.

That's what I was thinking, I love this car, and if something does go wrong with the internals,
I'll just put in a new one and have it longer. I love everyting about this car too much to let it go.
