I have approx 189whp and my mates chipped 1.8T has approx the same i would imagine but hasnt been tested as yet.

My obversations are that my car feels quicker and i watched his speedo going up to the 100mph mark and compared to mine, it seems my cars speedo moves quicker to the 100mph than my mates 1.8T, but yet to verify his power. My TDI has longer gear ratios but i think a 1.8T can hold longer to the gears for a higher speed in each gear but its pointless to go too far as the power peak has come and gone, so probably wont be much in it.
