I heard it kills the life of the turbo when you chip it.

I’m not saying you’re modding your daily or debating doing that. ---

the gearbox makes those cars quick, and if you think it will be slow to shift, then i guess you arent using it right. ---

I dont understand how you all dont understand that a car (mine) with 186 whp (yes it was dyno’d) is not going to beat a car (your gti) with 178 hp ? The numbers speak for themselves. Tell ya what if ur gonna call me stupid cause Im a woman, then race me at the valley and we will see who calls who stupid then:thumbup Im not trying to brag or say Im faster than anyone, all Im saying is that my car or any Si is not as piss ass slow as you make it seem.
