Hey Guys,

I'm kinda new to this board, and had a couple of questions for you.

How dramatic is the difference between the 225HP and the 180? Is it extremely noticable?

Also, can you just chip the turbo on the 180 to get it to match the 225? If so, is it cheaper or more expensive that just getting the 225?

Sorry for all these newbie questions, but if someone could help, that would be great.

I used to be a HUGE dmb fan. 40 and 41 are my absolute favorites.

To help with your question - I would recommend driving both to see for yourself but if you are a HP man definitley get the 225..the money to chip and exhaust a 180 could be the same price as the upgrade of the 180->225. Also a chipped 180 is NOT as quick as a 225 and definitley not as quick as a chipped 225.

Hope this helps.

Not one person on ANY board i have been on has figured that out as Dave Matthews Band, and song 40. Good job!!

Thanks for the info as well, that really helped me out.

Get the 225. Do a search if you need to know more.

Chipping also adds warrany "issues".

Only good arguments for the 180:
1) Less noticable turbo lag, but at the expense of HP.
2) Cost...if money is an issue, it's a valid compromise.
3) It was all that was available when I bought...but times have changed

but if you think performance is not an issue.. then get 180..

Thanks for the advice.

Performance is one of the biggest issues for me. I was aiming for the 225 from the start, just wanted to know if most got the 180 and just chipped it themselves to equal the 225

Is the warranty voided? or just parts of it voided?

any explanation would help
