RichardT Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 What can you tell me about the use of chips in an engine management system. I have got an Audi 1.9 TDi 130 [2002 model] and have seen chips advertised that can up the output considerably. Anybody used one, or got any advice on getting one fitted. Cheers. Richard.

thos Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Richard, I've got a '02 Golf TDI 130, so pretty much the same car. I started off with a tuning box, brought power up to 172bhp and 300lb/ft of torque, a nice improvement for EUR580. After this decided I wanted to try a chip, went with a Revo remap, all done via the OBD diagnostics port in 15mins, £499+vat, dyno run show 176bhp and 316lb/ft, but a much smoother drive, pushed up to the redline much quicker. If you're looking at a chip I'd look at Revo, AmD, or Jabbasport. There are other options like Upsolute and Superchips, but personally I'd stick to the first 3. If you're interested in a tuning box, I've got one for sale, EUR400, fits in 10min, and is easily removed for servicing etc. Most chip/remap's will give between 170-180bhp for the PD130 engine without issue. Checkout http://www.uk-mkivs.net the Tuning Forum should have loads more info for the PD130 engine. Hope that helps ! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
