APR and GIAC are the best chips for that car. I believe you get something like 30 hp and 60 lbs of tq. MPG will be a bit better as well.

I don't know if it has gone though yet, but Stay Tuned was in the works of becoming a APR programmer. Otherwise Alpine Import Specialists on the North Side do it as well.

OH, and for used parts check out www.Vwvortex.com classified section for used parts, great deals there.

that or go to Dub works in Chicago they are a very good VW place my buddy had a chip intake and exaust put on his GLI Jetta.

Yep, they do the GIAC tuning which is very aggresive from the start of the power band. Pretty rediculous gains on all of the new(er) Audi engines.

Stepped up TDis are awesome! I want one, but don't wanna pay maintinence or the price of owning one...

my old buddie had a GIAC chip,fuel pump,and propane injection and that thing hauled pretty good.It also shot black smoke like the diesel trucks do.The TDIs have excellent torque down low also.

I've seen a few of those in the low 15's...that kind of decent performance with great gas mileage seems like a win win to me.
