Neuspeed P-Chip Technology
Over 25 years of dyno tuning experience goes into each and every NEUSPEED P-Chip. We were the first U.S. company to offer chips for water-cooled VW applications. All development and programming is performed by NEUSPEED on U.S. spec vehicles.  The P-Chip is not a copy of, or a modified Euro chip!

The P-Chip offers exact timing advance curves, fuel metering, and smooth power delivery over the full rpm band without the risk of excessive detonation. You supply 91 octane or higher gas and we’ll do the rest. The P-Chip delivers maximum horsepower, impressive torque, crisp throttle response and elimination of the top speed govenor.

Normally aspirated motors gain 7-12 hp with the P-Chip (depending on application.)  Throttle-by-cable 1.8T engines gain 30 hp with our 0.8 bar Stage 1 chip. Most VR6 cars and all Golf/JEtta IV, Beetle and Passat/Audi A4 1.8T chips are soldered in place. You can send your ECU (insured for full value of $1200) to us and have out NEUSPEED  experts do the installation here in-house. We will desolder the chip, install the NEUSPEED P-Chip and return by next day air the same day we receive your ECU. The NEUSPEED  P-Chips are 50-State legal through 1995 models, exempt #D236-6.

The latest Audi and Volkswagen powerplants now feature a computer controlled throttle  body. NEUSPEED engineers spent nearly 1 year perfecting their P-Chip for these models. The result is smooth throttle response, increased horsepower, and long term reliability.

Throttle-By-Wire P-Chips are now available for all 2000 and 2001 1.8T engines found in Audi A4 and TT, and Volkswagen Passat, Golf, Jetta and Beetle models. P-Chips are also available for Audi 2.7 Bitburbo engines found in the S4 and A6 models.

The latest NEUSPEED 1.8T and 2.7 Bitburbo P-Chips raises the turbocharger boost level to 1.0 bar. Rev limiter and speed limiter ceilings are raised (amount varies by application) and fuel delivery is matched to the higher boost levels. Ignition timing advance is revised for improved throttle response. 1.8T engines gain approximately 30 flywheel horsepower, and 2.7 Bitburbo engines gain approximately 50 flywheel horsepower from these modifications.

Your original engine control computer must be sent directly to NEUSPEED’s California tech service department for re-programming. There, a trained technician will carefully desolder your chip from the printed circuit board, then resolder a NEUSPEED-programmed chip back onto the board. The result is a completely stock appearance without the reliability risk of scrambler “keys” or sockets that can become dislodged by vibration.

All NEUSPEED P-Chips for 1996-2001 vehicles are currently CARB-pending, with  certification expected in early 2001.
