Technical Coupe 2.0 20V Turbo Plus and G Tech2 Chip ?

[Orion86]

Hello ! Im new to the forum and new to beeing an upcoming Coupe 2.0 20V Turbo Plus -99 owner. I have a few questions tho..

I know the turbo version has 220hp, and that aint to bad.. but you know.. Much want more...
Is there anyone who has any experience with with G tech 2 chip?
Mostly everywhere its sold it says its just "Plug N Play".
Is there no "remapping" of the car?

Also, what are the most common downsides by using this cip instead of the original...

Also, the car Im buying has 18" OZ rims.. aiiittt.. Anyone used 18" on a Coupe here before? How does it affect the handling?

Thanks alot And great forum

Start with the GTech1 which is designed to give approx 25hp over stock with no additional mods. See how you run with this first. G2 is a much more aggressive chip designed to go with more heavily modded cars..

Main thing I found was that the chips remove the boost limit and you can get major overboost-spikes that could damage your engine. Coupe engine is 'just' strong enough as standard..be careful. I set mine up with a RR and found it was underfuelling..running lean, next thing would have been new pistons.
