Ok, here's where the new beetle owner asks for opinions on modding and chips. In a couple of months I'd like to start modding my 01 Sport. I want to add a chip but am wondering how much HP it'll add for a basic APR chip and if I should do anything else to it at the same time to make the turbo kick in faster. Next question, how hard on all the engine, tranny and clutch parts is it if I drive normally?
When I finally need to take it in for service, can the VW dealership tell I've got a chip? Lastly, when I go to sell the Beetle, how hard is it to take the chip out or is it there permanently?
Almost forgot the most important question. How much does a chip decrease my mileage if I drive normally. Originally we bought this as a commuter and we like the 31mpg.
Thanks!
