Default surge performance chip opinion

okay. okay. i found this audi surge performance chip on yourhotcar.com. it is supposed to give you 35 more horse and 20 torque. but it has had some negative reviews and thoughts. although nobody that commented put it on correctly or had it. they were just negative. can i get some opnions. normally i would just keep on looking but it is only like 100$. and if it does work then that is a deal i just cant pass

don't buy that thing. it's like one of those ebay chips where you wire it to your air temp sensor or maf. it's a a POS. go with speedtuning if you're broke lol

speedtuning is a good chip....I have ran it for quite some time with no problems

as far as exhaust goes....go custom 2.5" piping to a magnaflow muffler.....you can also increase the flow with a labree hfc

You get what you pay for, as speedtuning is definitely cheaper then GIAC, it offers smaller amounts of gain. Don't get me wrong tho the speedtuning chip does offer quite a nice kick.
