[jimmytheger]

Suggest you give Kim Collins (company is called Quattro Sports) a call - based in Haywards Heath in Sussex, importer of MTM chips and tuning bits and bobs - Quattro specialist first and foremost - but an expert on other Audis as well. His number - 01444 451542

the bods on www.tt-forum.co.uk should be able to proffer some useful suggestions..

From those on here you're more likley to get "Buy a TVR/Porker/Lotus etc.."

FWIW, Audi are quite content that you can tune that engine upto about 265-270BHP without any reliability issues arising..

The last couple of months of CCC have been moding a 225 TT as a project car. Might be worth trying to get a copy.
I seem to remember they were a bit dissapointed on the cost vs the power achieved?
They had a monster intercooler fitted amongst other 'things'

I always thought it would be a good idea for audi to fit in the rs4 v6 lump. I guess they don't want those TT's getting into trouble with high speed braking, what with it's suspect 'handling'.

A Sprinting friend of mine, has the Audi S3, he is having the following mods done, by a VAG dealer, so the warrantee is intact:
£1800.00 buys him: uprated front suspension kit, (stop the nasty understeer) a chip re-program, that gives him.... wait for it.... 50bhp and 90ftlb torque extra !!!!!

That can't be right can it...?

Probably quite feasible on a turbo-charged engine as you can just programmatically whack up the boost.

Have a look at www.auto-amd.com/tt.asp
Geoff at AmD is quite the "Mark Adams" when it comes to chipping / remapping - he does rolling road custom re-maps and is quite a whizz. He claims a gain of 40 bhp & 70 lbs ft torque and his claims are often conservative to be on the safe side.

How about a 2nd engine like the one tested on Top Gear Sunday 29/12/2002

certainly is - my £500 conversion took my S3 from 210bhp/200torque to 265/300 and transforms the car

chipping is easy and v hard to detect if you choose right - MTM and AmD are good (avoid SC) but best solutions are APR (switchable chip) or revotechnik 9don't even open your ECU) - both have good websites

Take a look at www.jabbasport.com 265bhp chip with r/road sessin for under £500. They also to a roller bearing turbo conversion, which coupled with chip, intercooler and better breathing gives you 400bhp

Takes me back, they did my Polo G40 for me back in 1996!! 143bhp up from 113bhp, one fast shopping trolley!

Remember the car is based on a Golf . . .
Farago drove the VW GOLF R32, so . . .

[Witchfinder]

Jabba Motorsport ( www.jabbasport.com ) do pretty good custom ECU remaps for VAG 1.8 Turbo cars, including the Audi TT. A number of people I know have had their Octavia vRS and Octravia 4x4 remapped there (180 and 150 stock BHP respectively), and the gain in power is typically anywhere between 25 and 40%

For the 225 BHP Audi TT, they do a custom remap that will bring the power up to between 256 and 270 BHP (depending on your engine). It costs £425 including VAT and includes rolling road time.

While I haven't personally had work done by Jabba, I've heard so many good things I'll be taking my Octavia vRS there as soon as I can afford it.
