Christmas time...
My father just took delivery of a turbo S and I would like to get him a nice Christmas gift for the car. It already has a hard wired radar-detector, SSK, and what ever the ROW suspension is. I also drive a turbo car so I decided clearly he needs more power, and I was thinking about doing this with software upgrade. No my question becomes:
What chip/flash options are there? please no stand alone
Is there anything to gain by just switching the cats?
With a the new software will I need to upgrade feul pumps, DV's etc?
Oh yeah and what sort of power am i looking at? 500hp?550?

On the GIAC what total gains would I be looking at? is it possible not to tune all the way to 1.2bar which is rumored to be the effeciancy limit of the turbo?

I think the "which chip is best" question is probably always a hard one to answer - I know it is for my car.

Call Stephen at Imagine Auto for a Stage 3. You would then be at around 560HP at the flywheel and just under 500 at the crank... mucho better! What a great gift... the gift that keeps on giving. YOu do realize that you will have to get an Exhaust as well which I happen to have an extra FabSpeed if you are interested... PM me.

I'll contact him about the chip, hesitant to change the mufflers though becuase of the increased noise level thats why I was looking at just the cats

there is really no ''best''. pro & con depends how u look at it. most important thing is the tech support & the service/warranty u're getting.

The ROW suspension is claimed to be better than the US spec and for the amount the car will see the track (maybe once a year) I just dont see the need for a suspension upgrade. the car should be broken in by now he has had it sice the 28th.
