Default Can't see your write up

I see maybe two sentences in English and then a bunch of flowers and symbols.

Default Couple questions...

Why did you choose Wett over the others?

What did you mean by "If you are a Wett KO4 owner and feel your car isn't performing, call me for some pointers..." (or something like that)?

Thanks!

Default Re: Couple questions...

If max/mad boost for your A4... this is not the chip for you. You can stop reading, and go with GIAC.

For my A4, I want drivability, not maximum hp allowable. The Wett chip has been very consistent with the boost (no pings, surges,... nothing - 15psi all da way to 6500rpm). Power is good for everyday sprinited driving on the hiway when condition permits - aka, playing tag. I do not intend to go out and race every other car at the stop light - A4 is not build for that purpose. I have gone on a 1/4m track a couple of times for test runs... that's it.

With the Wett chip, I don't need to upgrade to another exhaust manifold, FPR, Injectors, spark plugs, exhaust and what not. I have over 30K miles on the K04... and it's been running great. Plus, GIAC told me their chip is alittle faster... well, I don't want to shell out a whole lot of dough just to "feel" alittle faster.

As for the not performaing comment. Wetterauer was shipping some K04 chips running at 12psi. That's actually slower than the K03 w/ their chip. Luckily, DonP worked with Wett to correct the problem, but I am not sure if that's the chip they are shipping now. If you do go with Wett, make sure the chip runs at 15psi.

Anything else, drop me a line.

Cris, what are your thoughts on the difference between 195hp chip and the KO4 upgrade?

Default Re: my standard power is 225hp..

after chiped should be 250hp ,but i asked for more..therefore my wett dealer(in Taiwan) told me that they made a special order from wett but need to used 4.0fpr .now my turbo boost is 1.52 peak,i had it for a year already ,no engine knocking at all...and i m happy with it...oh..my wett dealer just told me yesterday ,there is one more stage for me, the turbo boost is 1.7~1.8kg, and the hp will be 285. but 1.7~1.8 peak power...mann...too strong, (guess) my engine will die soon in the future if i decide to tuned it..
