upsolute chip????

[GINCH]

Hey Simon,
A friend of mine is looking at chipping his 2004 1.8T jetta. He was thinking APR but I told him about the upsolute. Can you do me a favor and just point out the differences between the upsolute chip and APR. Price, power etc. Basically he wants more power but doesn't want to screw around with changing out the N75 valve etc. Is that still an issue with 1.8t chipping (surging)?
Thanks Simon!

Well on the price we are $490 - $40 club discount. Powerwise, I think Alex and Ryan proved that some brands of chips arent magic and cant get efficiency out of a turbo and engine that isnt there! Basically put, chips will all have very similar outputs. Now where upsolute does fall down is in features.... you want a chip..we have a chip.. you want to switch it? Uh sorry.. you want to tinker with it? Uh sorry.

Now the surge thing is quite common and can be solved either with an N75 swap or an adjustment to the wastegate..

Oh and thank you Derek for the referral. I do appreciate it, even if he decides to go another direction.
