In Spring 1999 issue (I think first issue; same editors from steet compact car and european car mags) they compared four chips for the Audi 1.8T. <br>The chips are Wetterauer, TAP, AMS, and Hoppen which include HP/Torque graphs for all four chips. It's a halfway decent article, they provide opinons for a dyno and real world street test.<p>FYI, it seems that the Wett chip was the preferred chip.<p>Times: "Avg of multiple runs" "50-70 in 3rd gear"<br>Stock (0-60) 9.41s (50-70) 6.17s<br>Wett (0-60) 7.81s (50-70) 4.60s<br>TAP (0-60) 7.85s (50-70) 4.42s<br>AMS (0-60) 7.51s (50-70) 4.94s<br>Hop (0-60) 7.90s (50-70) 4.81s<br> <p>Also, I found my copy at Virgin Records megastore.<p>Lael<br>Orlando, FL

And the same as a subsequent article that was published in Sport Compact Car a couple of months later. There was extensive discussion on this forum about this article when it came out in April. <p>This is just so people who have already read or own the EC or SCC issue with this article don't buy it again. The dyno graphs are bigger in this new print, if that makes a difference. :-)<p>Later,<p>James Wu<br>A4 Club of Vancouver<br>1998 Black/Onyx 1.8tqa<ul><li><a href="http://vancouver.a4.org">A4 Club of Vancouver</a></li></ul>
I saw this chip comparo in E.C. May issue and it left me with the impression that there was very little difference between chips performance. None of the chips got a rubber stamping "Best of the lot". EC did state you could'nt go wrong with any of them. Performance wise, I would agree.<br>
