| Advancing the timing will increase hp, but I am under the impression that Ash didn't manipulate the timing to make his chip look better on the dyno in a heads up comparison w/ the JWT ECU.
Why haven't I got one? I bought my TT last september, since then I have done the following:
Repaired Leak in Hatch
Replaced Shift knob with new OEM Leather
Replaced Trim piece blown off at a speed I won't quote
Replaced Torn Dust boots under shifter
Replaced Hood Latch Holding Clip and Gromet
Replaced Broken Gauge Dash Cover
Replaced Rusted Spark Plugs
Repolished all 4 Wheels
Installed New High Pressure Power Steering Hose
Installed New Alternator
Replaced Clogged Fuel Filter
New Oxygen Sensors x 2
New Oil/Water Bypass hose Kit
New fuel lines
New Brake Booster Hoses
New PCV's and hoses
New valve cover gaskets
New oil pressure sending unit
New slave cylinder
Replaced timing belt
Replaced timing belt sprocket
Put in RPS Clutch
Put in RPS segmented aluminum flywheel
Installed my GReddy PE Exhaust
Put in Greg Dupree's split flange dp's
Rewired amp/speakers
Installed JVC Head Unit
Installed Sub-frame spacers
Replaced Right-rear wheel bearing
Replaced all four tires ...and that's just the crap I can remember. Long story short, when I get the money, I will get Ash's ECU. I have had more important things to do with it, like keeping my car on the road. I got one of those TT's that the previous owner was lazy with, so I've had to go back and replace a million parts and spend literally thousands (probably like 4K parts and labor) just to keep it running. Um, oh yeah, I managed to invest a few K and save up enough money for a down payment on my soon to be purchased townhouse. My car isn't my only financial priority, or even my primary financial priority. So my thoughts are this: I think Ash's ECU will be an excellent upgrade for any TT that has been properly maintained that requires no maintenance. Keeping it running is a requirement, performance mods are gravy. I can't justify spending money on power adders when my car isn't in perfect condition. #1. Maintenance.
#2. Power.
#3. Looks.
Yeah, that's right,
