work for me?
I'm looking for more grunt. I drive the freeway every day. I don't want anything that requires any more maintenance than now.
Car info is in my sig below and has ~92k on it


Thanks.
Ted.

Default It will give you a bit more grunt but more importantly it will sound awesome :)

Really, you have to get the chip to notice anything. I don't understand why you haven't already.

Default I love my VTDA. You should definitely get chipped if you're looking for noticeable increases.

Default Go to the TTeast site and then to the REVO link. Get the trial offer. Then get ready for some fun!

Over a year now with no issues, no regrets, just a bunch of extra HP and torque.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tt-east.org/">TTeast</a></li></ul>

Default Get a graduated chip.

Something like REVO will give you a full program but, depending on which switch you purchase, will allow you to access only the features you want/need/can afford. The SPS1 switch gives you the basic program. The SPS3 switch lets you get yourself in trouble. I've had the SPS1 four years/40,000 with no issues with the TTDA and a Forge DVR. If you're still under warranty, it lets you go back to stock setting for dealer visits (again, no issues for 4 years).

You might feel a bit more power and the filter does require maintenance.

Default Don't be. If you're that worried you shouldn't drive it at all...you never know what might brake :)

Chips from well known tuners are very well designed and shouldn't cause any problems. BTW on a 180, I would definately install a turbo timer (regarless of the chip).
