View Full Version : What will the neuspeed chip do to gas mileage on 1.8t?? justin 10-06-1999, 07:35 PM alex 10-06-1999, 09:25 PM I have not found a huge difference in gas mileage..in fact I believe my highway cruising milage may have improved(although this may be more due to the engine breaking in...) To be honest you can expect to see a slight drop (1 or 2 mpg) but only because it is so darn tempting to slam on the gas. You don't have to rev the engine as hard(i'm assuming you have a 1.8t) to drive comfortably in traffic though.... My only complaint is that I don't feel comfortable putting anything less than 93octane in the car(to prevent premature detonation). I've never had pinging, even when I was forced to put 91 in the car while i was in toronto. I've not read of anyone who has had trouble with mileage...I don't think it should really factor into the decision(that is unless you can't get premium gas....) alex 99.5qm chipped for 8K Andrew 10-06-1999, 11:24 PM I was just install the neuspeed P-Chip, i am also live in toronto. Want to talk to you directly... Andrew 10-06-1999, 11:55 PM Do the ECU come with any NeuSpeed Sticker or... after chipping..? 1.8TQM 99.5 Chipped at 0.2k Zsolt 10-07-1999, 12:12 PM ...while you are honing your 0-60 skills after the upgrade. negligible change otherwise. FYI I am not very agressive 0-60, could manage 7.2 (stock 8.2) in a tqms. |
