Neuspeed chip!!!!!!!!!
Yep that's right, I finally took the plunge and got the .8bar Neuspeed on
my recently purchased 99.5 1.8QTM.
WOW! Night and day! I love my Audi!!!
Why did I go for Neuspeed, well mainly price and also a conservative
upgrade. I was also contemplating the Garret 1bar but I would also have to
get new plugs and a new TT DV so the overall cost was a lot less for the
Neuspeed and a lot less inconvenience for me to get this installed.
The "BIG" difference is the 1st & 2nd gear at @3.5k rpm and also
downshifting on the highway.
Anyone thinking of chipping their 1.8T should just do it - this is a real
beast!

Re: Neuspeed chip!!!!!!!!!
Let me know what happens to your gas mileage. I have to commute 150 miles a
day. I could definately use some additional passing power, but I don't want
a big change in fuel economy.
Thanks

In theory, mileage shouldn't be affected by increasing maximum boost pressure
(which is essentially what the chip change provides). If you somehow manage to
drive the same routes with the same "vigor" as pre-chipping, fuel consumption
should not change.
But, that may be difficult - new toys can be such fun, and if your car *can*
go faster, there's a good chance you'll make it happen

Re: Neuspeed chip!!!!!!!!!
I found that my Oettinger chip runs the car more economically than stock. At
first I couldn't believe it, but then I checked and what used to be some 9.0
l /100km is now 8.7 l.
You may want to think it this way: given a certain amount of gas pedal
flooring the car now offers more torque , which means you don't need to
depress the pedal as deep as you used to. That is if we're talking the same
roads, acceleration and speeds, granted.

But energy is energy - regardless of "foot position". Assuming the weight of
the car and all sources of friction remain constant, the same amount of thrust
should result in the same amount of fuel consumption, regardless of how deeply
the throttle pedal is depressed.
Or maybe some of the laws of physics and some basic chemistry theory have been
repealed?

But energy is energy - regardless of "foot position". Assuming the weight of
the car and all sources of friction remain constant, the same amount of thrust
should result in the same amount of fuel consumption, regardless of how deeply
the throttle pedal is depressed.
Or maybe some of the laws of physics and some basic chemistry theory have been
repealed?

You wrote "should" but the thing is it "does not" and a well-chipped car
consumes slightly less. Your argument is as wrong as saying that because all
people walk on two feet they eat the same if they exert the same amount of
thrust.

If you want a more accurate explanation, what happens is that engine
management is greatly improved. Now, in stock mode turbo boost is limited by
the N75 valve and the wastegate actuator following management orders that
set the average boost map at relatively low levels so that the engine feels
more linear to the layman. Because the car is stock-set to run with 95
Octane gasoline, ignition timing is not optimal for 98 octane gas. With the
chip, the timing is slightly advanced, so the same engine becomes
thermodinamically more efficient for obvious mechanical reasons. Apart from
this, average boost pressure is higher and the turbo spools at a more
natural rev interval, thus resulting in a lower frequency of actuation of
the above-mentioned valves, which means fewer "stop-and-goes", and which in
turn translates into better efficiency. Now remember efficiency is the only
real measure that trasnlates inversely into consumption and that is the most
elemental of physics.
Back to school, maybe?
