Make sure you have 93 octane available

which I'd guess is around $700 or something. 2. I'd watch out for sales. It is VERY common for them to offer a second program free. 3. $900 is NOTHING to me for a quality chip and i'm not loaded with money but these chips are the heart and brain of the vehicle and in europe you would think nothing of spending a couple grand on a good chip that also extends the powertrain warranty of the car. This is the single most critical component for power upgrades and even at 2 grand would still be the most hp/tq per dollar of any mod available. If one cannot afford a grand or so for a good chip than they certainly cannot afford a 12 thousand dollar engine repair which is what it would cost you to have your warranty denied on a motor failure so I would only play if you can pay.

so if your program feels the same you likely have a mechanical malfunction. One of the nice things about having the stock mode is you can actually do a back to back set of runs and log to make sure everything is proper. Grab a vag com and log boost. If you are seeing the proper boost pressures you are likely fine and are actually seeing an increase of around 30-40hp and 40-50tq (I was seeing about 45chp and 60ctq with 93 octane).

I've used it once in a bad snowstorm in the BC interior as it was easier to control the car without the torque spike from my k04 upgrade.

The second time I used it was when I was learning to track the car in the rain at PIR.

A lot easier to learn when you don't have all the extra HP and torque to deal with on your first day on the track.

It also gives you back the ability to burn 87 oct in a pinch
