At the beginning the turbot does lack the low-end torque, which you will get with the VR6 but after you get the chip in (only about 500 bucks), that 1.8t will be flying. The chip is good for 196 horsepower and 240ft. lfs. of torque. (http://www.goapr.com/)

Here in Texas it's not that hard finding a GTI of any sorts from 99-00; although there are far more 115 horsepower GTI's than the 174 horse powered ones.
I also found a good site for people who want chip specs from diffrent companies for the 1.8t along with some other good stuff, keep in mind the chip ratings are based on the current 150hp 1.8t http://www.swankmonkey.com/chips/index.html
And also, what typically is the turn-around time on the development of APR chips(ie. for the 180HP 2002 GTI)?
Thanks....
