DV Relocate and 1 other ?

I dont know about getting 'around' the chip, but the diode is a cheap substitute. You'll still want the chip program for the fuel/timing maps for anything over 17psi or so.

dont replace your clutch until you have to. Get a chip> get an exhaust (turbo back) > get an intake > then get a bigger turbo if need be/
also you can get around a chip with a diode, but boost is limited to about 17psi.

with the clutch its amazing how I can track the progression as it got worse and worse. it started out only slipping in 5th gear and then 4th and then 3rd. Now i'm getting slip in 2nd and 4th and 5th are TERRIBLE.
not easy to swing into a faster lane when your 5th gear slips like a mother-facker.

this is a great alternantive.
It is an alternative... but I'd rather wait and do it right if I couldn't afford the chip. Which, incidentally, is exactly what I did.
I went with APR, keep your eyes open for spring events they'll be at/hosting, whatever deal they're advertising for the event is good at any APR dealer. I went with a buy-one-get-one-free, but I could have also had $100 off a single program if I felt so inclined.

I dunno if I'd go that far...

I didn't say running 17 psi was bad, I said I'd rather run 11psi until I could run 17+ in an engineered fashion.
If all it took was a diode to chip a car, then all you would need to buy was a diode to chip the car. Instead I have an actual computer chip, adapting/changing a multitude of things.
As 225tt said, 'to each his own', all I'm saying is 'mine' doesn't happen to be a $.25 diode.

i diode is nowhere near chipping your car, and our cars actually run better chipped. better gas milage(if you dont floor it everywhere that is), the k03 can handle 18-19 psi, k04 24-25 psi. just turning up your boost with a boost controller isn't good because you will be disrupting your timing, a/f ratio and other important engine tunings. if you look on schwings website, he doesn't recommend stage 3 unless you are chipped.
best mods that you want to start with....
number 1) chip (apr, revo, giac)
then in any order really, intake, exhaust, modshack stage 2 and 3
and as always to get the best performance out of these mods upgrade your suspension, if you got the money do it right by getting either adjustable tie rods, k-macs(for correct camber, toe), with a either a spring strut combo, or a complete coil-over kit
not trying to put you down, just want you to mod your car correctly, otherwise you are bound to disrupt the performance of your motor, just read the thousands of posts here on audiforums.com and audiworld.com

You can run more than 19psi on a ko3. There are many people running 20-24psi daily without any problems, hell there are some that have dynoed with race gas at 27-28psi and have made near 260whp ona ko3s, yes ko3s.
The thing about modshack is that **** is a larger maf, then engine now needs more fuel to handle the extra air. You can run a 4 bar with the diode and a mof but i wouldnt do it with out a vagcom or a/f gauge (a real wideband).
Timing can be adjusted by a lemminwinks and can be increased if wished.
After a chip the car needs a exhaust far more than an intake. And when i say exhaust i mean a dp and catback. A dp makes far better gains than the catback so do that first then the catback or better yet do it all at once.
You act like im new and a cheapskate, i know what i am talking about and dont feel its worth the money for a chip when you have no intentions of keeping the stock turbo for very long. The only reason i am using it is because i have a blown 28r and dont have the funds to replace it with something bigger. So you should really not come and try to bash someone because you dont understand what is really going on.
thanks killa
