> If a chip adds so much to veedubs why dont they just give them a decent tune from the factory? Seems like it would be a win/win but no one ever said the germans made sense :gotme:

because the chip adds 50HP and +100ft-lbs. (That is engine power.)  
It puts a lot more strain on the motor,clutch,turbo…any other part.  
I could go on and on.

BTW. my gti is awesome in the snow. Get some decent snowtires and you’re good to go.
