Default Chipping my 1.8Turbo

Hey, i posted a comment the other day about getting a cool air intake, and i now understand that it would be better to chip my audi. i have a black 1999.5 1.8 Turbo Quattro, and i want a lot more horespower out of it. any suggestions as to what kind of chip i should get for a lot more horespower in my car, and how much it would cost? Thanks,

-bryan

If you want A LOT more hp then you are going to want to rip out that K03 turbo and look at something like the GT28RS that is what I call a lot more power

i heard somewhere that there is a chip available from audi direct that costs like a grand but is better than any of those other chips, was this guy bullsh!tting me or what? i've never heard of anyone on this forum that has one.

imo go with the GIAC chip, i just got chipped last weekend.

YOU MUST replace the stock dv valve with something that will handle the larger boost.

i drove around a few days on the factory valve and was disappointed, i ordered the 710N valve for the 225 hp tt

swapped it out in 15 min. and was lovin it. very good gains for the money

here's what i read:
"if u are looking for a good chip skip all that **** and look 4 the closest audi direct store to you 4 1k"..."for 2k u get **** out of this world"

so this guys pretty much talking out of his *** then, right?
