The "Q-Chip" name is a play on words: A Q-ship is a car with bone-stock appearance
that performs at a much higher level. A "wolf in sheep's clothing," so to speak.
A Q-Chip from Autotech will give your VW a new lease on life, a boost in
performance so well integrated with your VW, you'll soon forget what it's like to
drive without it. Autotech's in-house designed Q-Chips are the best chips
available anywhere at any price. They offer the quickest acceleration, the
sharpest response, and the largest possible power gains without sacrificing
one iota of drivability.
The Ignition Map
The Autotech Q-Chip takes advantage of
available 91 Octane gasoline and incorporates a new, more aggressive,
ignition map for your car. This is what produces most of the power gains in the
low to middle rpm ranges and the "seat of the pants" improvement. Our ignition map
modifications are not merely limited to full throttle conditions. Changes are made
in the maps affecting both full and part throttle situations. Part throttle
ignition mods are, in fact, the changes most responsible for engine responsiveness
during most driving conditions. Why didn't the factory do this to begin with? Mainly
because any factory must design their cars to accommodate the full range of available
fuels. More recently, as cars become "world spec," using the same cars all over
the world means an even greater range of fuel quality. As a performance tuner, we
can design our Q-Chip with a specific fuel quality in mind. This allows us to run
more aggressively towards the performance ideal.
The Fuel Map
Peak horsepower depends greatly on properly administered amounts of fuel. We
design each Q-Chip to provide enough fuel to produce maximum power, yet it will only
provide the extra fuel when conditions find it necessary. Extra fuel at
inopportune times not only reduces power, but also reduces mileage and increases emissions.
All Autotech Q-Chips are designed with EPA-acceptable levels of emissions in
mind, and are 50 State Legal, including the OBD-II models from 1996-98 (an
Autotech First!). An Exemption Order from the California Air Resources Board
(C.A.R.B. E.O. #'s: D-375-2, D-375-3) is your assurance that the Q-Chip you install
is legal in all 50 states.
Setting New Limits
Each Autotech Q-Chip features a raised rev limit that allows you to take better
advantage of other performance modifications, such as camshafts and
exhaust systems. We do not totally remove the rev limiter, as some other chip makers
have, because we feel it's extremely important to prevent over-revving and
possible engine damage.
Where the factory has chosen to limit the top speed of some of its models, the
Autotech Q-Chip removes the top speed limiter and sets your car free.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
All Autotech Q-Chips are backed by an unconditional 30 day satisfaction
guarantee. If, for any reason, you're not completely happy with your Q-Chip, simply
return it within 30 days of purchase for a prompt refund, hassle-free.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Each Autotech Q-Chip features a Limited Lifetime Warranty from Autotech.
You'll probably never need it, but it's there if you ever do.
Applications
MK3/B4 VR6 Motronic - Golf 3/Jetta 3/Passat/Corrado
- Corrado VR6, 1992-95
- Passat GLX, 1992-97
- Jetta GLX, 1994-98
- GTI VR6, 1995-98
The benefits of the Q-Chip for the VR6 cars far exceed what can be shown on a
dyno graph. Torque is increased at all points from 2000 to 6000 rpm, and peak
horsepower is increased by 7. The engine's willingness to rev is improved
dramatically. The rev limit is moved upward to 6900rpm, and the top speed
limiter is removed. Try one and you'll know how nice this engine can run when
given the chance! Have the VW part number from your car's ECU ready when you call to
order. Our tech department is available to assist you in finding this number. Note:
The Factory Chip in most 1994-1995 models is soldered to the ECU circuit board. We
will remove this chip and replace it with a socketed Q-Chip for you. Send us your
ECU, and we'll ship it within 24 hours of receipt. An ECU exchange program is also
available. We will send you an already-modified ECU in exchange for your
original. A core charge applies, and will vary depending on ECU required. Please
call for more information.

Mk3 2.0L 8V Motronic - Golf 3/Jetta 3
The Q-Chip for the 2.0L ABA engined cars provides substantial gains in torque
and horsepower at all rpm. The Q-Chip totally changes your once docile (some say
anemic) Mk3 into a spirited runner. Zero to sixty times (Vericom tested) improve by
a full second! The car's ability to run to the new, higher 6900 rpm redline is
quickened, and the motor becomes much more responsive, which is a nice change on this
large-stroke motor. This is the perfect addition to any new Golf or Jetta (or
Passat). Have the VW part number from your car's ECU ready when you call. Call our
tech line at (949) 240-4000 if you need any help finding this number.

Corrado G60 Digifant I
Stage 1 Q-Chip
The Stage 1 Q-Chip for the G60 provides an incredible boost of power over the
stock configuration. Peak flywheel horsepower is raised from 158hp to 172hp.
The real benefits, however, are seen in the lower rpm ranges, where the car needs
it most. Gains from 12 to 18 percent are seen between 2000 and 4000 rpm. That means
a big increase in responsiveness and drivability. ECU number required.

Stage 2 Q-Chip Kit
The Stage 2 Kit consists of three parts. First, a smaller supercharger
pulley, a work of art in itself, machined in one piece from hard anodized 6061-T6
aluminum, that raises maximum boost pressure to 14psi (up from 8). Second, a
matched Q-Chip specifically for the Stage 2. Third, a special higher output Bosch
fuel pressure regulator, required to correctly administer fuel at the higher
boost levels. The results are staggering: 190 flywheel horsepower
and incredible torque at all rpm levels. One important feature: all this power
comes at very little expense in fuel efficiency. Our Corrado had over 50,000
miles on a stage 2 system and had maintained mileage within 1 mpg of stock!

Stage 3 Q-Chip Kit
The ultimate engine performance upgrade for your G60. Stage 3 adds our sport
camshaft and a specially configured Q-Chip to the smaller pulley and high-output
Bosch fuel pressure regulator used in our Stage 2. The result is a breathtaking 205
peak flywheel horsepower on an otherwise stock 1.8L G60 Corrado. Perhaps the
greatest achievement of the Stage 3 is that the bottom-end power of the stage 2
was not sacrificed to get more top-end. Precision software design has
fine-tuned the engine to suit the new camshaft perfectly.

- GTI 16V, 1990-92
- Jetta GLI 16V, 1990-92
- Passat GL (B3), 1990-94
Here's a case where the gains in responsiveness are so improved that it's
hard to believe you're driving the same car. Gains start as low as 2000 rpm and go
all the way to a new redline of 6900. Peak flywheel horsepower gain is 9bhp. Torque
below 4000 rpm is dramatically improved. 50 State Legal under C.A.R.B. E.O.

ECU Number Required
Due to numerous factory changes in ECU/chip design that can occur during a
car's production life, Autotech asks that you have the Volkswagen part number from
your car's ECU ready when you place your Q-Chip order. Providing the correct
ECU part number can make the difference between a car that runs great and a car
that won't start! A Q-Chip that is code-matched to the original ECU also
ensures that the car will function at its best, and that a factory or compatible
scan tool will read (and display) the desired information correctly. If
you need any help locating the ECU in your vehicle, please call our tech line at (949) 240-4000. |
