2003 Jetta GLI computer tune gains 60WHP??
I have a buddy who thinks that getting his computer will gain him 60WHP in a 2003 Jetta GLI. The 3.0L (or 2.8 I'm not too sure), the V6 version. He keeps telling me this...I keep telling him that he is full of shit. Am I full of shit or is he. I just cant believe that a VW V6 can be so detuned that it would net that kind of HP gain. The only kind of vehicles that I know of that can benefit that much from a tune are diesel trucks. Let me know if I am full of shit or he is. Thanks.

Maybe with a turbo 1.8 volkswagen but not the 6 cylinder versions. 60 horses is a big increase. Those lil 1.8 turbos can put out a surprising amoutn with a chip and bolt ons. If he has the 6 cylinder id call bullshit and make him prove the increase when the chip is finished.

Maybe he's getting a $5k tune that includes a turbo.

No he says that its a basic computer tune. No added parts or anything. He said that the BORA version of the Jetta is putting down 278WHP with an intake and a computer tune.

well, i looked up a german tuner called k-chip: they say 20 hp gain for the 2.8 V6 engine. so 60 hp? i don't think so, not without bolt ons...

The V6 can be made to be fast but it takes a lot of cash. The 1.8T can be adjusted quite a bit with a tune, however the V6 will cost him, and a tune will get nowhere near 60whp. You were correct to call BS

What a fag......Bora is just the name of a Jetta in Germany. I know those are available with AWD but I don't think they have a turbo V6. I notice a lot of euro ricers put the German emblems on their american cars. I've seen tons of riced out Jettas with Bora emblems on them.
