i dont have a 170 version though.... mine is the older 150hp....



would the 180hp chip work on your 170??

why is vw 180hp and audi 170hp on the newest version of the 1.8t... i dont get that.....




so basically no one knows anything about upsolute?

Someone say my name?

hehe, ya..pretty much mainer..I haven't heard anyone on here running that chip. Other than the orientation, I don't know what else is different about the VW engine, kinda curious cuz I'm slightly interested in the Carb CAI for my ride but the manufacturer only indicates use on VW 1.8T. Not sayin that its a bad chip, but I'd go with a GIAC. They seem to be flawless..only problem I've heard of was brkbeats had his seated wrong..which was no fault of the chip.
