sweet , that's almost the same engine that's in my A4 1.8T , you deffinatly need to chip the ecu, its a reliable mod that adds you 50-60 hp and gives you better gas mileage as well. you cant go wrong :o)
I recently gave in as well. I needed a dependable car that was good on gas for my job. So I bought a 02 Civic. I had problem after problem after problem with it. So, finally, I worked out a deal with the used lot where I bought it to trade it in for another car. And wouldn't you know, there was a black 02 Jetta GLS 1.8T sitting there. Loaded.....with heated seats and everything. After a day of thinking it over I couldn't help myself. I picked it up last Friday. And my payment only went up 12 bucks a month (they had it on their lot for too long and were about to take it to auction, so they cut me a deal for $14,000). I still have my GLI which I had planned on keeping and doing some work on in the spring.....but plans might have changed. I might be moving and won't have room to keep two cars. So, I am again looking to sell my 90 2.0 GLI (65k miles if anyone is interested). I could never bring myself to sell it but now it looks like I might have to.
