Get a used chip. Might be cheaper, and they don't wear out, so yeah.
It doesn't sound like alot, but you can't duplicate it with just an MBC, and it's pretty much the best bang for buck mod there is. Compare a chip (500) for 50hp and 90lb-ft vs a k04 (2000 for 80hp and 110 ft-lbs) and a BT is even worse.

speaking of chipping a 1.8t... is there a way to do that for around $100 - $200?? All I can find is like ECU reprogrammers that run for about $500. Doubling boost may be worth $500 to some people but not to me. So a cheaper alternative would be appreciated. Thanks.

1.8T is faster
Over this summer my friend and I had a chance to test this out. He has a stock 98' A4 2.8Q with a K&N airfilter and a shortshifter and I have a 2001 A4 1.8TQ all stock. We lined up at the light and I dropped the clutch at about 2200 rpm and had him the entire time. By 5500 rpm in second gear I was a car length ahead and he backed off. We raced for about 8 miles onto different thruways in and out of traffic, top speed was hard to judge since we were shooting gaps alot but he hung with me for all of that. I owned a 96 2.8 and the torque was far better but that turbo is where it's at - can't wait to chip it.
