First thing you want to do is check your car out and make sure everything is running good/ sounds good. You may want to replace your timing belt, depending on your cars milage. Just do a thorough checkup. Once you're sure the car is in good shape, upgrade your brakes, then you should get a chip, then an intake, then an exhaust, then a DV, and fianlly, you're ready for a new turbo along with some new fuel injectors.

I already had the car checked out by a mechanic. Everything is in good condition and i just replaced the clutch. My brakes are in really good condition right now and feel really tight. I want to get a chip, but i dont know what kind to get, where to get it, how much it cost, and what to do with it once i get it...

Read that, then ask questions if you still have them.

OK thanks. So I guess i should probably get my car chipped. I just go to a dealer to get this done?

You should put your first 2k into paying the car ahead a few months. Paying your car off in a timely manner is more important than going fast.

no, you have to go to a local tuning shop... haha the dealer will NOT chip your car...

go on giac.com or any of the chip sites and they should have a dealer locator and you can find one in your general area... definatly get it though its highly recommended to add a little pep to your ride

Some dealers are now certified to sell APR chips, surprisingly.. Not many though... That doesnt mean it wont void your waranty if you have one, but theyll do it. Check out www.giacusa.com to find a local dealer. I HIGHLY recomend GIAC for B5's.

I'm gonna have to side with onepoint8tee on this one. And to rowingdude, I'm pretty sure that he paid in full. . It's not like his car is new. . It was probably around 10k anyway. However, if your car isn't paid off, mt zion 90, pay your car off first, then mod.
