Stage 1 Q-Chip The Stage 1 Q-Chip for the G60 provides an incredible boost of power over the stock configuration. Peak horsepower is raised from 158 to 172. The real benefits, however, are seen in the lower rpm ranges, where the car needs it most. Gains from 12 to 18 percent are seen between 2000 and 4000 rpm. That means a big increase in responsiveness and drivability. ECU number required. Description Part Number Price Order Online Stage 1 Q-Chip 10.215.300 $99.95 Add to Basket Stage 2 Q-Chip Kit The Stage 2 Kit consists of three parts. First, a smaller supercharger pulley, a work of art in itself, machined in one piece from hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, that raises maximum boost pressure to 14psi (up from 8). Second, a matched Q-Chip specifically for the Stage 2. Third, a special higher output fuel pressure regulator, required to correctly administer fuel at the higher boost levels. The results are staggering: 190hp and incredible torque at all rpm levels. One important feature: all this power comes at very little expense in fuel efficiency. Our Corrado had over 50,000 miles on a stage 2 system and had maintained mileage within 1 mpg of stock!

the g60 was good in 80s when a great vw was 90hp but its not worth the $ u would have to put in it . not to menshion they wear out the internal parts are not replacable you would have to replace the hole unit just for 170 hp .my wifes stock car has 170hp ---

Sounded interested …lmao Well my best advice would be something that would work on your 1.8t that has many positive reviews Told you , > **[Hear the Exceptional Story of this Quattro S1 - Fourtitude.com](http://www.vwvortex.com/)** > > Replicas are very like replicants in that they both cause some serious existential quandries. Namely, how much does authenticity really matter? Movies like just search chips or those companies listed above,so much shit about them and customer reviews.Thy even have representatives from the companies registered on that site to talk to !!!Do it ,would hurt . ---
