who ya gonna get to tune it? kerma did a great job with my friends...rocketchip is awesome too but he's a hard guy to get a hold of...

whatever you do just dont buy one of those bd or other regular boxed chips they suck for those motors.. get someone good to tune it with vag-com...its like efi for VW's
