Hi, I'm considering buying in the next several months a 2011 A3 TDI.

I own a 1997 Acura Integra GS-R, which, of course, is much lighter and has a more powerful engine than the A3 TDI.

I and have been waiting for Audi to bring the 170hp TDI engine to the US A3, but that seems unlikely for the next several years.

If I get the A3, is re-chipping a viable option to increase performance with minimal mpg loss?

Thanks, Sam

Yes, 170 hp is very possible with a reflash with no mpg loss. However, if you find yourself using that extra power of course mpg will go down , smiles will go up.
