:confused: ok so i was going down the 55 FWY towards newport tonight and there was this little 1.8 GTI, it was an MK4, and he was moving pretty quick so i decided to pull up next to him and see how it went. we both took off, i was in my MK3 GTI VR6 and he was keeping up pretty good. in the end i pulled away or he backed off i dont really know what happen but yea. a little later we end up getting off at the same exit so i pull up next to him and ask him if his car is all stock or what was up cuz i didnt think he should be keeping up so easily. his response was the he was "REVOing" what the heck is that? does anyone know?

It's an ECU mod-chip. It's fairly popular.

it means that heavy car needed a chip to stay even with your VR6, is your car stock? My not close to stock 2.0 will bang up a 1.8T pretty well. its that huge weight penalty, my car has been put on a diet too, so the gap widens.

thats a nice car steve, why you selling?

yea my vr6 is all stock, well slightly modified. i put some holes in the bottom of my air intake box. lol. i dont think there is a diff. you said the 1.8 are heavy? heavy for the engine? or what? do they make that chip for my vr6 and would it help a lot?

for a chip, get one from Jeff Moss, the intake drilling + a K&N, works better than a cone filter, Techtonics proved it on a dyno, a MK4 is a bigger car, with more metal, wiring, insulation and crap than a MK3, a VR6 MK4 is heavier than your car by a couple hundred pounds if I remember.

wow so much hate from the VR6 dude. Well whatever, anyways that was me. I didn't say i was "revoing", i said i had a Revo. :confused: Not to gay bash like the other dude, but uhhh on the freeway when we were going at it i seemed to be tailgating you while on full throttle , then releasing throttle then stepping back on. THen when i pulled to the next lane uhhh i had like 10 yards or i'd get slammed into a car. But none the less you car is pretty quick. I was going to post to find out who you were, but you got to it before me. You seem like a cool dude so message if you got question comments or concerns.


p.s. damn stop with the hating, this isn't the vortex. C'mon mike you don't remember me from the meets in the OC? Im the dude that had the stock looking Silverstone Gti. hahah
