Re: The VW Jetta GLX Mailing List Digest V5 #54
I just wanted to add my experience to the discussion - my friend's
(CHIPPED!) 1.8T Passat does 15's in the quarter mile. He bought it new
and just takes the chip out when it goes in for service. I've
personally watched this sedan cross the line at the track, a car-length
ahead of a modified GLX GTI. It is a completely different car with the
$100 chip popped in under the hood. Plus you can get a blow-off and a
whaler valve so it sounds intimidating - popping off unused spooled
turbo compression when to come to a stop or shift. I would encourage
anyone to take a ride in a CHIPPED 1.8T anything before you decided to
dropped any hard earned cash.

(not chipped, not even a 6 cyl, but a lot of fun)
