2021-05-26--ENG--Do Performance Chips Work? (Jetta MK7 Build, Ep 3)

In this episode, impatience wins out as we skip the bodywork and test out a performance chip to try and close the gap between our wrecked SE project car and a factory GLI and run straight into some unexpected problems! We also tackle questions with huge implications, like is there such a thing as too much power? How important are zip-ties? And is Dave smarter than a chip? Get watching to find out! Technical Info In case you’re wondering, we went with a plug-in performance chip offering from German firm, RaceChip. It’s the highest output, app controlled GTS version. Their chips claim to offer up to 30% more power and 20% improvements in fuel economy. We’ll report back to you on the long term beyond the goings on in this episode, so be sure to check back for that.
