Default GIACC Chip? is it worth it

found a Giacc chip for my Audi A4 1.8, it will give me 30+ hp and 50+ ft.lbs. of torque, total cost is $495.00, is it worth it? please let me know, thanks

Default every penny, and more!

you really are not driving an A4 1.8 motor UNTIL it's chipped. Wimpy Americans! 170 bhp. I fart in your general direction!did it on both my 1.8t's. but you may want to consider the new programming for the bigger injectors, if you are in the position to shell out the coin ~ 300$ for the injectors (TT).

2nd, would recommend injectors as a starting point (or ending if that's your only mod)

Nice to be able to jump on it when you really need it.

Default Approximately an additional $500. Money well spent for the heart of your car's drivetrain....

functioning. The larger injectors allow them to flow at a lower duty cycle and provide enough fuel for high rpm driving without the worry fuel starvation. cheers! Mike

Default Rephrase: How much more HP does the injector program w/injectors give you over standard program? ;)

I have the standard GIAC 91octane program...just wondering if it's worth it to go up to the injectors.
