Default boosting performance

I have a 99 1.8t (leased) Not sure I want to put the $$ in a chip. Do you think an ABT filter will help produce more umph! What else would you recommend??

Default A chip is the only thing that makes a difference under $1000.

Maybe some better tires for handling, course that's $500-1000. I went through the same dilema. I now have the APR chip and it's awesome!

Got $170? Go to Greedspeed for a chip upgrade - add x-tra $40-$50 for airfilter & fuel pressure reg.

Default I have an ABT filter...... not worth the money IMO. It didn't do much.

I agree with Odd Job though..... the Greedspeed VBL chip is GREAT.
