Bucknall28 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 ok.wats the differecne? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 A chip they stick on the ecu, a remap they dont. That is an unbelievable car to have at 18 as a first car! All i'll say is take it easy, once its gone its gone and then you'll struggle with insurance, not getting at you as your young, just talking from an experience of my own. Oh and mods wise, dont do anything until you've had a look around the forum at every other GTI then decide what you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
