i added a MBC to mine few days after i got chipped. pushing about 22psi. i was able to keep up with my friends sti. not pass, just keep up. it made me feel happy. only downside ive had with the tune is the fueling, its horrible i run rich 24/7, and only get about 210 miles to a full tank (14 gal) and i use 93oct

I do not believe a simple chip can have yall keeping up with srt skittles and sti's. A k03 at 18psi is not making over 200whp; the other cars stated both stock produce more power, and weight less.

Im not knocking the chip, I just think yall are taking the k03's boost spike a little too seriously.

Yall should check out audizine.com, its another audi board that is more active with MUCH better information!!

Yea. I'm on audizine a lot more than here. And I know what I'm talking about, just I never said I can beat and sti or srt4 plus srt4s are slow. I said I was able to keep up with my friends sti I may have been 4 car lengts behind but I never lost him. I know my car is slow. The chip only gives 50+ hp and with a stock chp of 170 so that makes 220chp which I really doubt. I need to get my car on a dyno. But also those other little thing like intake exhaust, and even going fmic can help out. Speedtuning is an alright company u got the most bang for the buck but personally I think I'm going together a retune with giac or APR. I miss my gas mileage and my cat is clogged from running rich too

Can you guys that are having good results with speedtuning post up your ECU model number, so we can try to see if there is some difference in versions that is causing the difficulties some of us are having?

The upgrade is making you run rich? Did you get the stage 1 or stage 2 upgrade? Do you have the stock cat in place?

Hey, a moral victory is still a victory right?
The weight of these cars can be a downside but when an Ford Excursion going about 15 mph hit me while I was stationary, my body had no effects it was in a crash.

Besides, what woman wants to ride shotgun in a Dodge Neon or an extra bright Sti?

You need to get vag com, the free version will do, and lemmiwinks and pull some fueling. Here is a link that should help you out. And I suggest you get the ebay cable from seller 'Alpha Bid'. Its $20 and it works!
