The Densos are AMAZING, but expensive, like 13 bucks a plug. But they create 2% more acceleration per plug, and I have all 6 plus replaced with Densos are damn my car moves alot much quicker and alot more power as well. I can't wait to chip my car and get my turbo on, that is gonna be some mad power there.

One of my buddies recently bought a new GTI 20th anniversery, has 1.8T and 6 speed, and other aftermarket goodies on it stock. Were DEFINITLY going to race come warmer weather, should be interesting, now I got him but he'* already eyeing a true 50hp chip. Than things night be different. Come track season though he'* my buddy, we'll have lots of races! My goal is by opening, have 1.9 rockers, TOGS, LSD and DHP.
VW is going DOWN! :P

TDI

are sloooooooooooooow. Nice low-end torque though, so it ain't slow around town or cruising on the highway at all.

That is why turbo cars kick ***. You can buy just a chip and SIGNIFICANTLY raise your horsepower and torque. I used to (like 6 months ago) think that a 50hp chip was B.*., but I know now that is far from the truth. A 1.8T with a few mods and a 50hp chip should stick with you even with 1.9'*, TOG'*, an LSD, and DHP. Their weight advantage is what will get you. You will definately be making more horespower and torque, but with your 800+ pound weight disadvantage, I would say it will be a close race. Good luck!

I am saving up to get myself a chip that gains 40hp for my car. Its $290, but its WELL worth the money IMO. When I get that, it will be like driving a completely different car, and I won't have to worry about Turbo Beetles anymore.

2% is a huge gain just for installing different plugs. I would be hesitant to believe a 2% gain with just plugs. I'm not saying you are a liar or anything, just that that sounds a little far-fetched to me.

Don't diss TDI'* They can kick *** if you modd them also
