90 20V Quattro Questions

[Mihnea Cotet]

Hi!

My opinion about this is that you should try to do as much as possible as 
you can with the 20V NA engine, as it's pretty reliable, and doesn't have 
the same problems as the 10V Turbo with higher turbo pressures and stuff 
like that.
In France, there is a workshop doing developments for rally cars, but also 
fopr street cars, and they do have a chip for both the 10V and the 20V, 2.3 
NA engine. Their power claims are 150 HP for the 10V and 200HP for the 20V. 
I've heard of people using such chips with VW engines, one of my friend's 
2.0-16V Corrado is putting out 185 HP on the dyno with this chip, an K&N 
airfilter and a stainless steel exhaust, so their claims seem to be real.
If any listers are interested in such a chip, I can try to contact them to 
see what prices they will give me for more chips (normal price is about 
200$) and arrange for the shipping to the USA.
Drop me a line if you are interested, I think this is the higher HP that can 
be drawn from the 20V NA without the turbo complications.
Also, one of my friends in Germany has such a chip on his 20V engine, in 
combination with a complete headwork, and a K&N airfilter, his car puts out 
210 HP on the dyno, and the maw speed is around 154 mph (his car is an 
european 4k, so it is a 90, non-quattro).
I think this chip is tuned to run on 98 octane fuel, but as the engine is 
knock-sensitive, lower octane fuels can be used with slight power losses 
(and still more than 167 HP in stock configuration).
