dgary8 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Does anyone know where i can find a good performance chip for my Touareg - 2004 with v6? I am in the US but can order from anywhere. If the is a chip what kind of performance increase can i expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Welcome to Tyresmoke. This the V6 petrol or Diesel? If petrol gains will be limited because NA engines do not benefit much from chip tuning. If its an oilburner then a chip should give you some decent gains in BHP and Torque. AMD have a branch in the US if I remember rightly they offer stuff for both. www.amdtechnik.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 And the engine is the same as the Golf R32 unit (3.2V6 if yours is the petrol version), so you can make some seriously decent modifications to it, right up to 300+ bhp if you can go to the Stage 4 conversion.

dgary8 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 It is a gasoline V-6. I will check out the site thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Its not a chip you order and stick in...... its a remap to the existing software, so you pop along, have a cup of tea and wait while they twiddle and tweak your existing code and you drive away with some extra power!! Other companies do 'chips' but re-maps are a better option as they don't require the ECU to be pulled apart and you can always switch back to stock from a remap where as a replacement chip is usually much more difficult to revert back from.

Mook Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Because of the distances involved, most US tuning companies offer an ECU swap-out deal. I don't reckon I'd travel to Scotland (no I'm not being cheeky Brett - I'm from the Borders originally!) just to get the remap done, so if that's where AmD (or whoever) was based, then I'd choose the swap-out ECU option.
