    marginal power is equal to marginal boost at 0.9 bar for our k03 turbos. If you boosted 1.5bar, you'd be working the turbo too hard and not getting a significant power increase. I think the x-chip is 1.4bar, the neuspeed chip is 1.3bar. I think you'd gain about 5-7 hp from 1.4 to 1.0 bar. Its not worth the abuse of your turbo in my opinion. Then again, I have a neuspeed chip so I am baised

    Well, it depends on what year your car is. X-chip is for 2001 cars.

    I'm pretty sure the X chip is a 1.2 bar chip.

    hmmmm i thought it was 1.4, cuz i'm pretty sure the neuspeed one is 1.3, and isn't x-chip the most aggressive? I could be wrong.
