Default Your opinions on chipping?

Hello. I've been doing some research on chipping the 1.8T motor. I've narrowed my choice down to the Wetterauer 1 bar and the Neuspeed P-chip (0.8 bar). I've heard nothing but praise for the Wett chip, but haven't heard much about the P-chip. The biggest difference I see is the price: about 50% less for the P-chip! Of course, the Wett is socketed, but I'm not so sure that is really a big deal. Greedspeed says the 0.8 bar chip will outperform Wetterauer's 1 bar chip (with the stock K03 turbo). Any thoughts???

Default Greedspeed says the .08 outperforms the 1 bar!?

In what respect? Neuspeeds chip is good, especially for the price. But the Wett chip gives you more hp and more torque.

Default It doesn't -- I've had both chips.

This is only MHO, but it ain't right to me. There's more power above 3,000 rpm with the Wett and a lot more torque. I wouldn't have swapped the chips if I thought they were that close in performance.<p>Sharon

That's true but irrelevant considering the car will be driven by one driver.

Actually, the guy said TAP, Hoppen &amp; P-chip at 0.8 outperform the Wett 1 bar (he referenced an article in Performance Car (I think).

By 'outperform', specifically 0-60 and 1/4 mi times (no mention of 40-80, etc)
