Default Drove an '04 Passat 1.8T
Wow it needs a bigger turbo, there is hardly any power above 3500rpm's companred to 0-3500 rpm's. Not too impressed . Are all '98+ 1.8T's like this?

You can chip it though, right?

Does the chip take care of the top end power lag?

The Passat is the most detuned of all the 1.8T's.

Default The K03 still will bleed boost off in the top end, but it is not nearly as bad.
The K03 is just plain small. A K04 setup would be better for breathing.

Yeah I was thinking about the 6 but the 1.8 is a lot more tuneable/easier to work on imo
