Re: I have my new Scirocco!(semi-long)

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

garret chips are great.  The apr is smoother.  Be
careful with the 1.3 bar boost one.  You are really
working that K03 at 1 bar nevermind 1.3...  My friend
had an a3 w/1.8t and I've personally watched his turbo
glow bright red for at least 5 minutes as we let it
cool down.  And we really weren't on it that hard.  If
you are looking for an excuse to upgrade than leave it
at 1.3 bar.
