Erm, yeah, okay........

SOrry, but that is way wrong. Chipping an A3 1.8 turbo will not boost it to 235 bhp. A3 1.8 t sport is 150 bhp as standard, A3 1.8 t quattro is 180 bhp, no way just a chip will make 235 bhp. My mate has an AmD chip and is only running 200 bhp, otteninger (sp) 205 bhp, Superchip, 200bhp none get anywhere near. Anyway, get an A3, nice refined car and with good mods, nice and quick

ok, so you go to http://www.abt-sportsline.de then go to the audi a3 engine tuning section and look, they do you engine management systems, one boosts too 193 bhp the other boosts too 235 bhp, it obviously cranks the boost up a fair notch. i bet there is hardly any difference between the 150 and 180 turbo other than management anyway.

vibrio, found a 160 bhp chip for the 110 bhp tdi seems like a better option to me.

true, i do like the 1.8t but as the tdi does 56 mpg and the petrol 32 and u can get similar performance from the 2 then its not really a contest. well apart from the fact the 1.8t has a better interior, and exterior, doh. easyily solved.

funny u should say that marc, ive been looking on some sites and they recon that the 130 actually puts out more near 140 standard.

think ive found another choice, which i cant see can be beaten.

vw bora 1.9 tdi pd 115 sport
6 speed, can be chipped too 161 bhp 388nm torque
can get 2000 x regs ones for 6k, and there are loads of em for that price ):
