make your mind first then spend money on it. if you get it chipped now, they you have to spend again to get right chip for your bt setup.

a ko4 will show you no gains since you are already +1...... i think ko4 on the new 1.8 only gives you up to the 225ish range and since you have that........ why would you do it

maybe since you are a b6 someone else might tell me i am wrong, but on the b5's that is the case

what can I say, you guys have convinced me, I am going to look into a GIAC chip, If I got BT can I get my software upgraded pretty easily? And is it neccessary to install a boost guage or just novelty?

Thanks guys

if you go BT later, you will have to get a new chip but companies offer discounts if you stay with them. If you really are planning on going BT, get revo, they will most likely be who you get your BT software from

a k04 is POINTLESS in a b6 and near pointless in a b5 w/ a k03s. since you already have the bigger injector file, upgrading to a k04 would net you ~5hp. not really worth the 800 your gona spend on just the k04 and software.
