Here's a pic of it in my car. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/driversideinterior.jpg And thats not a stain on the driver seat lol. I had wet hands from washing it and the water left a few fingerprints. Notice the euroheadlight switch too I'm going to get some high res. shots of the car up soon once I get a nice cam. what camera do you use for ur pic taking?

Yea. I got a AWE boost gauge with driver side vent pod. It looks completely stock during the day and at night. I cant wait til I put a lil 100octane in the car and run the 100oct.race program!!!

My car: 2004 vw jetta GLI 1.8t 6spd Mods before the chip: (not including the non performance mods) Magnaflow 2.5in. catback exhaust ARP R1 diverter valve AWE boost gauge with vent pod (lol not perf. mod but put it here anyways) DieselGeek short shifter kit I thought long and hard at which chip company to go with. I narrowed it down to either Unitronics or APR. What ended up being the deal breaker was that APR had a couple extra options and also that an APR dealer was 10 min. away. So I thought it was time and take advantage of the deal APR had going on with they're chip special so I drove to the nearest APR dealer (10 min. away:cool:) and got it done. The advertised hp/tq increast vs stock is this: stock: 180hp/170tq APR 91 oct: 209hp/242tq APR 93oct.:215hp/247tq APR 100oct:???hp/ ???tq:cool: So 35hp/77tq increase over stock Took less then an hour before It was ready for me. 4 programs came with the fully loaded package: stock 91octane 93octane 100 octane race map (3 other non performance programs came with the car also) *valet mode *security mode *throttle body alignment mode All these are controlled via ur cruise control switch which is baller as hell since no other company gives you that option on top of having the ability to switch through programs at will. First thoughts Before I left I clicked through the programs and made sure the 93oct. program was set in. Well the car already broke loose in first but now with this chip it smokes them off. I also gotta watch it in 2nd at times or else they'll go up in smoke too. Acceleration change was night and day. doing a 40roll pull is a whole diferent beast and just the car pulling in general is completely diferent. I was also told my gas mileage would go up a few(already getting 32+ on the highway before the chip so we'll see) Usually my stock boost levels would spike at 10psi and just stay around that. Now its spiking around 15-17psi and holding 13-14psi to redline. The car is also soo much more responsive. I mean you'd think after getting 35hp/74tq increase that this was expected and it was. I love the car more now and I can't wait till I see some more performance increases after the 3in. dp w/ catless testpipe here in a week or 2. Its like a whole diferent car now and I wish it came this way from the factory. In the end I could've went with other company's that have more aggressive chips (giac+x, unitronics stage 2) but I ended up going with APR for they're options that came with the chip along with the fact that if I ever need anything from them I can just drive 10min. to they're dealer. lasting thoughts: I'd recommend this chip to anybody wanting to up the power of they're car. You cant beat the power increase for $500. A chip should be the first mod on ur list everytime and APR got my vote. Comming soon: review on the 3in. downpipe w/ catless testpipe

be shot... you should....

hoblick, he's retarded.. we know this

RIP bud. I'm glad we came to peace earlier this week in the kitchen thread and that I was looking forward to talking w/ ya about ur cark and meeting you her for the dyno day in april. I'll miss ya.

count me in for a red one

This is dejavu since I just lost my best friend in a motorcycle accident back in june. Just when when I became cool with him this week and actually start talking to him about cars and such this happens. RIP my fellow friend. Even though I never met you outside of CR I still thought you were a funny ass guy at times throughout the years(when not making fun of me lol) and cared about cars and other people as well. Take care bud and i'll see you someday.

I didn't bump it for self gratification homie. I bumped it so that hopefully other 1.8t,2.0t,vw, audi ppl, and whoever else can post the plans they got for they're car this year.

yea, pass on that. ur teg is much better quality

In a nutshell, this car looks like shit even though you did an exceptional job photographing it. In the end a turd is a turd, even in shiny nice pictures.

^ What I was thinking about this thread In all seriousness, thats what it sounds like. But what do I know. I own a slow VW

oh I know man

bump for all the vw ppl

lol, gj holding to ur guns man
