Most of the money your giving to a chip company is for research and development, not actual $$ per hp... 1.8ts are so easily upgradable because all you have to do is turn up the boost (I know there more involoved)... with a NA engine, you have to try to squeeze every bit out of the engine with timing, air/fuel mixture, but you are limited in what you can do... I would think that a chip+exhaust and MAYBE an airfilter all properly tuned together will yield more hp.. maybe 240??

Good value.

from 220hp...thats straight up getting ripped for the money they're paying for all those mods.

Cost vs. HP is all subjective.

Wett claims 15HP and 20Tq, with their program. But, they don't list the octane rating. Their chip is $395.

Chip and exhaust would be good for 240HP, IMO. There have been a few reviews, all positive and all reporting a very noticable difference in feel and power.

Yes we did, but not all the options.

Mike@Ikon Motorsport

Just kidding, but in all seriousness. This is what NA costs. It always amazes me when people try to compare FI vs. NA. If you installed a chip on a 1.8T, but didn't increase the boost, you would only be looking at a few HP too.

$1,400 for chip/exhaust is a reasonable price for 20HP and ~22Tq.

Wow, very expensive. Does anyone know if this is for European version only. My guess is yes.

I only get 92 here, and it probably won't ping running a 93 program since it rarely gets over 90. But still, I'm not looking to push it..
