Default Which chip to get?
I have a completely stock 2000 1.8T. I want to get it chipped, but I don't really know where to begin. I would love some advice as far as what brand to use and what would be the best chip for my money. I live in the Denver-metro area. If anyone is familiar with performance shops around here, I'd love some guidance! Thanks!
