looks quite interesting, it comes with 2 maps which you can choose plus your original one. You can swap and change yourself.

p.s. there is a group buy for <2004 vag ones for £325 delivered over on ukmkiv if anyone is interested

AMD have been doing these for years with their cruise stalk upgrades, basically you get 2 or more maps and they are controlled from the cruise stalk which they'll fit if you don't have one. Also I recall they have a handy no boost map for when you want to put it in the garage for repair(so they can't cane it)

heard a lot of bad things about chipped uk maps.. i.e. lies about power

How much do amd charge? i bet its more than £325, i'm not being lazy, their website is slow as hell..... im going to get one of these st3's so ill let you know how i get on.

Cheap isn't always good.

Theres nothing new or special about this, though I would probably go for a Bluefin based on their reputation.

No idea on AMD, I was looking back in 2001 for a 225bhp 1.8T audi TT and they were around £800. A lot I know but they offered a full guarantee and aftercare if anything went wrong as a result, effevtively a warranty on the engine after the work was carried out.

After 7 years the competition increased, you can get a good custom remap for £500 easily.

You can do this with megajolt and megasquirt between 2 maps for half the cost.
