well the top for last night was 121mph.....but i have had the Jetta  up to 132mph since the chip change.

The chip remaps the computer moves the rev limiter, the speed govenor.....changes the peak HP/Torque.  Deffinately worth the $125.00 i paid!

The quantity of consonants in the English language is constant. If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a Bostonian "pahks his cah," the lost R's migrate southwest, causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in "erl" wells.

What, specifically, does the G-Chip do to increase engine performance?  Timing?  Fuel/air mixture?
