Default Chip= Higher PSI?

Do most A4 chips boost the psi on your turbo? Thanks.

Just about any chip for the 1.8T boosts the Boost<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">Just read the manufacturers site it will say but the usualy list it in terms of bar and not psi. 1bar=14.7 psi</P>


and if they dont have a site there not reputable enought to put there chip in your car.</P>

I bought my car with a chip, unfortunately it was a trade in so the dealer didn't know a whole lot. But from what I can see the turbo seems stock and my boost gauge reads about 15psi at full throttle.

yeah stock pressure is from 7-9 psi. Chipped 1.8's (depending on the chip) normally run 14-18 psi and can peak higher than that.

Fresh: what year is you car? Could be a GIAC X-chip.
