Turning purple over the cam gear is not a good idea......  And at 50.00/hp on
a jetta (and I would calculate at least $ 25/hp on a turbo car), Neds chip
looks pretty cheap.....  Thgis is the nth HP gain guys, NJTH, look everywhere
else first......   I know what is in the only car that applies (Mike G is a
very good friend of mine), and I ASSURE you that this is the nth HP mod on
that car......
