100 Octane + Chip = Major Wood
<pointless post>
As some of you may know I'm somewhat displeased with Hoppen's artifical price inflation and thier hot and cold customer service. When they are on a good day they are top notch, however when they are on a bad day, thoughts of blanket party dance in my head.
So I decided to switch camps and give a new chip a try. I'm not saying which one, only because I want to know it's within safe limits of the K03's and it does it's best to fight knocking and pinging, before I support it. Part of my testing is to see how much it'll advance and retard the timing based on gas, so last night I drove the 50 miles to get sunocco 100 octane gas @ 4.50 a gallon. I didn't reset the ECU as I want to watch it adjust on it's own, problem is Zaph has my Vag tool emulator. The first 25 miles were normal, the last 25 produced major wood, I think I discovered an alternative to Viagra... Oh my god is all I can say, no hesitation and RPMS rip to redline.
My suggestion is if you get a chance run a full tank of 100 Octane gas, with whatever chip you have, even stock, and see for yourself. Only problem is I think I'm addicted and I can't justify $50-60 for a tank of gas. I'm gonna try mixing 94+100 when I'm done playing with the chip..

Re: Well, which one is it?? You don't have to support it, just because you mentioned it.
That's very true, but I rather beleive in a chip 100% before I talk it up..
Anyway I had APR and MTM, I'd never buy Nuespeed or TAP.
So that leaves something from GAIC or AMS....
