the early (93~94) mkIII's had upper glove boxes; the middle ones have an air bag there w/ only a knee bar below, later on (97 or so) the lower knee bar was replaced w/ a glove box. I have put lower glove boxes in like three different cars now; it requires some trimming and a sheet metal screw. I have a rare lower shelf that goes in where the knee bar is, if you want to buy it.

I don't know if I would put a 272 in w/o changing the valve springs.

For chips, it really doesn't make much difference as to which one you go with. There will be very little differences, even on the dyno you MIGHT see one more HP here or there.

I also have the TT heavy duty dual valve springs with chromoly retainers.

you certainly don’t need megasquirt to run a cam and exhaust. i would suggest a techtonic chip, but as jungle stated it probably doesn’t really matter in that car.

thanks both for the insight on chipping. I only thought of megasquirt because a number of the guys in the local scene have done it and are masters and programming and tuning. I was leaning more towards a c2 chip or unitronic, but seeing as uni doesnt do the aba and the TT is cheaper than the c2.

has anybody actually used the TT chip? thoughts on them?

ok so here are my plans in list form (order of precedence)

performance:
brakes
exhaust
272* cam with dual relief valve springs
tt or c2 chip (convince me of one or the other, I have done a bit of homework on both but still want some feedback)

interior:
k2 ed. seats
black capreting/headliner

exterior:
e-code headlights with rheostat kit fully functional
e-code taillights
wheels

TT chips are excellent...buy it w/ an exhaust and they might make it cheaper for you.

good idea, I'm looking at TT exhausts anyways.

I'd get that, but I already have the cam and springs/retainers. I only need to followers. TT doesnt even carry the cam I have anymore.

I ran a TT chip in my old jetta for years with zero problems.

[huck731]

nice to know that. I think I'll go with that chip

I recently got the k2 ed. seats and they are nice, I have also replaced the front brakes with stock replacements for now. after I get the rear brakes and exhaust re-done (I'm thinking about having a shop weld up a straight pipe from the cat back, how shitty would that sound?) I am replacing the entire suspension system since it is probably factory original at 207,xxx miles. I have also decided to do the golf front end swap since I found out how simple it actually is to do
