Chip work on a 2004 1.8T in Calgary?
Picking up a 2004 1.8T later this month and I think the first thing I do (besides tint) is get an APR 1.8T Stage 1 chip.
Any recommendations on where to get it first and foremost? Internet the best bet? Who would you recommend to install?

My best guess is going to be BEX. I don't have the car handy just yet but judging by the codes from a chart I found online this should be her.

What are the advantages to jumping to the stage 2?
EDIT: I just realized the title says 2004. I have a 2003. Dont believe it makes a difference mind you.

Stage 1- chip & most likely upgraded diverter valve
stage 2- chip & downpipe upgrade
stage 2+- chip & full exhaust, possibly w/m injection
Basically as you free up the exhaust and allow the turbine spool more easily, the more power you can make. 2003-2004 makes no difference, I checked with VAST in regards to engine code.

Sorry to break in on this query but have tried googling VAST and VAST FTW and can't find them anywhere - please explain or give contact details. I'm also interested in chip and maybe exhaust.
