Thinking about buying a 2005.5 or 2006 2.0T and getting a GIAC chip from AWE Tuning. AWE claims 300 ft/lbs of torque. Anyone have this done and is there anything else besides the chip that I would need? Also, what is the total cost?

The torque is in fact close to 300hp at the crank. I have no other mods besides exhaust, which doesn't add much IMO.

Cost is $550 for 1 program (pump gas). Optionally add $100 for race, and I think $50 each for valet and kill.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/20tfsi/msgs/383.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/20tfsi/msgs/383.phtml</a</li></ul>

Do the 2005.5 and 2006 2.0Ts all have the older fuel pump? If so, that would mean I would have to get the S-Chip flashloader which only gives you a gain of 28 ft/lbs, right?

However, my local GIAC dealer knew nothing of this S/X chip thing. He said there's only one program for the 2.0T.

Maybe he's wrong. In any case, my results are with the new pump. However, I'm not sure the new pump functions any differently from the old. The only difference as far as I can tell is the addition of a purge valve.

Here's the note from AWE's web site:

Special Note Regarding Fuel Pumps on the 2.0T: There is some debate regarding the performance effects of the high pressure fuel pump, found in the engine bay and required to produce the extremely high fuel pressures of the FSI system. The factory has superceded the high pressure pump part number from 06F127025B to 06F127025F. There is no definite cutoff date when cars began coming equipped with the 06F127025F part number, and the only real way to tell which pump your car has is to remove the engine covers and look at the part number on top of the high pressure pump. On the B7 chassis A4, the pump is located near the firewall at the end of the fuel rail as in the below picture. On all other 2.0T cars, it is found at the end of the fuel rail towards the driver side front of the car.

If your vehicle is equipped with the old part number pump 06F127025B, we recommend using the Sport Flashloader chip program available for your vehicle to prevent surging issues, especially if you have an aftermarket high flow cat. GIAC has done extensive testing on multiple 2.0T vehicles and has found a correlation between surging with higher boost levels with the old pump number. If your vehicle is equipped with the new part number pump 06F127025F, you can opt for the X-Chip Flashloader file, no matter what exhaust system is used.

Did you just buy a new pump? Cost?

AudiForYou's 2.7T

Cost was between $200 and 300. I think closer to $300.

But still, the dealer showed me the programs available from GIAC (after dealer login on the GIAC site), and there was only one. That's what we used, and the gains are as expected.

the fuel pump thing is BS. The B, F, and now H pump all flow identically. YOur fine with their full chip.

yup!
