Default How about long term affects of chips? I hear Wett's deadly..

Has anyone been chipped for over 50,000 miles? Specifically, with a TAP chip or Wett. I keep hearing how Wett's 14 lbs of boost is going to kill the turbo in the long run. Is does seem like a lot of pressure if you're not going to replace the stock exhaust. Anybody have some experience with this issue?

How about the reading of the archives?! I hear supposition will cause the 1bar turbo to disintegrate at 1bar.

So I'm guessing you haven't had your Wett for over 50K miles..

Default Sounds like some other tuning company is trying to bash Wett...Hmm, perhaps they're feeling inferior?

I'd take this offline but you don't have the guts to post your email or your source. So, must assume you are just a lamer.

Default put your ego aside for a second, I have several sources..(long)

First of all, what the hell is a "lamer"? Anyway, I've spoken with several different people about this issue and I was hoping some of you might have a few miles on your chip. The people I've spoken with with TAP chips haven't had any problems, but I have yet to talk to anyone with a WETT chip with a good amount of miles on it. So yes, the WETT being a "deadly" long term chip is just opinion at this point. That's why I need to hear from someone who has a good amount of miles on a WETT chip. The (individual) people that I have spoken with all say they believe 14 lbs of boost is too much if you're not going to replace the exhaust. So stop your crying, I just wants to know the facts before I buy.

Default A lamer is someone who refuses to look at the archives to see if there have been any problems (occasional pings, fixed, same as neuspeed [your source?]), and if the KKK03 turbo was DESIGNED for 1 bar (it was!).

nt you dumb ****

The archives don't have much on long term effects. You need to calm down
