All these on a front-wheeler; what about torque steer? I will take the all-wheeler Golf R instead. VWUSA please bring the R into the US quick.

Indeed, I'd rather get a "R" with the haldex. Btw, Mr VW, when will you release these beasts? (still not seen it in Europe neither)

I like it how the article is misleading by implying that the car receives a 44bhp boost from chip tuning only! The true gain is the peak power gain, which can be combined with the weight to obtain that magic power/weight ratio everyone is talking about. Everything else are just nice numbers to make uneducated people drool!

I'm new to tuning, so pardon the n00b question. Will these engine remaps work in North American versions too? I'm considering one of these since the price point somewhat reasonable.

My friend get it chipped by APR, its a better company anyway, they have been doing this stuff since the 90's and they actually worked with VW to make performance mods. http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_20tsi_trans.html

Alfa Romeo GTA 147/156 and Vauxhall Vectra VXR all suffered same fate; too much power upfront corrupts absolutely! Even a quick getaway in my current 125bhp mk4 Golf GTi is a challenge. Ludicrous idea by Superchips.

Please bring it to the U.S., the EVo MR is supposed to be civilized, its a load of rubbish, give me the GTI-R or call it the Golf R, its still gonna be $10,000 less than a TTS and probably as fast as the Evo.

All those going on about the GT-R I presume can't get an S3 for half the price second hand? Doubt there will be much of a difference otherwise.
