Default CanuckA3, did you get it chipped yet?

Sorry, I couldn't find the thread before. Were you able to get your 2008.5 engine chipped yet? If not, heard any news on when you can?

When I get back, my car will be running the ABT software (which will keep the warranty and give me about 20% more power) but I'm thinking of going with Revo if I can get a reasonabe price on it. (So far, I've been quoted $1600..uhm...NO!)

Hope you are enjoying the roads in Vancouver with your new baby! I'm Stateside right now driving rental cars...and missing my TT baby almost as much as I miss my two real babies!

this is where we left off in the thread,


the 2008.5 has a different ECU and chip companies are working on a chip for it as we speak. Im not aware of any companies that have a chip for the 2008.5's but im sure we will see it soon.

1600$ for revo.....wayyy overpriced haha

Hey guys. I am still waiting for the ECU upgrade. The last I heard was that "they are working on cracking the code". I am enjoying the car....absolutely. I get so many compliments that it is almost (but not quite) embarassing. Now if I only had more horsepower......

Actually I am going with a PPC tuning system with RICA software. I can tune, or untune the car myself. I had this sytem for my V50 T5, and it worked well. Same horsepower and torque as APR, and I can return the car to it's original settings before going to the dealer. I can also download any OEM tuning upgrades through the internet. The system is pricey though at $995.
