Default Probably a FAQ...

But FAQ-U anyways.

Since the 2001 1.8T has 170hp and the 2000 1.8t has 150 would adding a 40hp to each one result in the same differnce? I can do the math btw, but am a newbie, don't know much about Audis yet, and considering one in the near future.

btw, anyone in Cleveland Ohio?

Default depends on the mod

the chips are different for the 2001 and pre 2001, because of VVT and more boost.. it depends

Default

i.e. a chip for the 2001 will bring you up to 207 hp.. but exhaust would have the same effect

Default Lower compression ratio in 170hp versions, more ultimate horsepower

Hiya,

I teach at CWRU!

As for chipping the 150hp vs. the 170hp the 170 has a lower compression ratio (less prone to detonation=more boost safety) so you can get a little more hp out of the chipped version. 207hp vs. 200hp from APRs chip for example. I believe GIAC has a similar increase.

Michael
