30v heads / hp from chip on NA
Someone asked whether the 30v head will be a bolt to the old
style motor--answer, I don't know. But, I think the price from Audi will
make the question have an "I don't care" answer. $$$$'s
On the TAp chip mod for the NA motor? I flat do not believe the
estimate of ~15 hp gain on that motor. If it is true, I would like to
know where the hp gain is. Remember, people talk hp but buy torque. If
the hp gain comes in at 5,500 rpm, who cares? IMHO, a cam will do more
for you than a chip on a NA---but you never get a large hp gain for 2
bills, at least not on an Audi. Frankly, on that motor [I have 2] I
think you either have to be happy with what you have, or else really
rebuild the motor: Bore, stroke, cam, head, etc. If you do all of this,
you will find that you could swap a turbo motor in and get more for less,
assuming you buy used.
