Inmotion tuning chip installed

[DZLPOWR]

I just installed an INMOTION stage 2 chip in my 04 Passat and LOVE IT! I ran a Wett chip in my 98 New Beetle for nearly 100,000 miles so when I inherited my wife's Passat I knew I couldn't put my DZLPOWR plates on it without chipping it first. You can purchase an INMOTION chip directly through their website, but you can get a discount by purchasing it through ebay. http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ50QQsassZinmotionusaQ2dcom I contacted several people that had purchased an INMOTION chip via ebay and all were very satisfied with their service and the chip. My ECU was gone for 8 days over Christmas, which is pretty good considering the madness that surrounds the holidays. INMOTION is new to the US but have been in business in Austria since 1997. The US website is www.inmotionusa.com and Gunter is the guy to talk to (email). If interested you can contact Wolfgang via the Austrian website at www.tuning-chip.at. I have no affiliation with these guys, just thought I would pass on info about other chip options for our TDI's. If you see me on the streets of Denver wave, I'll be driving a Samoa Red Passat wagon with a big smile on my face.

best part is the price!!!

Did you add a boost valve and gauge?

The web site lists the chip at 170hp and 300 ft/lbs. I believe those numbers are close to rocketchip stage 2.

Just wondering.

Enjoy the ride.

No boost valve or gauge, just chip. There are so many different chips and configurations (opinions) out there so I decided to go with what worked for me in the past. When I bought my Wett chip for my 98 NB, Upsolute was the chip of the month on this list. That Upsolute produced a little better than the Wett may be true, but after 100,000 miles the Wett chip never threw a CEL and I passed emissions with flying colors every time. I've talked with a few Upsolute owners here in Colorado that have trouble passing emissions and that's not what I was after. Performance and reliability is what I'm interested in. For my application I don't believe I need a boost valve or gauge as the INMOTION chip just brings the car close to the euro spec TDI PD, but time will tell. Just enjoy your car and get the chip that YOU want, not what's in vogue at the time. This chip may be from German Parts Wholesale, but it was delivered on time, was born out of a european tuner, and the price can't be beat.

LOL!!! It's not, but you must not be familiar with them and the story behind them. Do a search on them here and read away. Pretty funny stuff. Heck, do a search on Nozzle Guy too!

I dropped a BV in our 05' Passat GL that is stock, for now. Must say, I was suprised at how controlled the the turbo was by the factory. Of course these cars come with auto tranny's that help, naturally. Big difference if you have installed one in an A4 w/ 5 speed...
However, when chipped, I would assume (ahh, don't!) that all your numbers get shifted upward; spikes included. BV's are cheap insurance considering how easy they are to install.

Agreed. I've got a BV in my trunk waiting for the odometer to cross 20k miles.

Once that happens, I'll drop in the boost valve and move up to RC stage II.

Right now, I'm just waiting to see if any warranty issues come up.

Where did you have to send your ECU? I'm thinking about this, but 8 days is a long time.

 

[zaeli]

what are the fav chips?

I have looked in upsolute, kerma and now inmotion.
What seems best and for what reasons. Is it all about the numbers?

I plan to tune my 04 golf tdi post the 50k mark.

Rocketchip!

Rocketchip!

I see everyone pushing Rocketchip, but having options are good. How much is rocket chip? There web site is out of date, no contact number, etc..

jsrmonster is Rocketchip's screen name here

 

[GEMorris]

Rocketchip needs a more professional web presence. Sure everyone here can vouch for him, but new customers would definitely feel more comfortable if there was more than just a screen name on a message board.

I have no affiliation or preference with any chip dealer.

Actually, he has a very professional-looking website at http://www.rocketchip.com/

The problem is that half of it hasn't been updated in about 6 months, and some of the pages say little more than "under construction".

Jeff is a very busy guy (and damned good), he just needs help with communication, web updates, and serving the Western half of the country.

Keep in mind that 8 days included Christmas weekend. I also think folks should keep in mind that asking someone which chip is the best is like asking someone which breath they have enjoyed most in their life. I suspect most people would say their last one because it gets them to the next breath. With that said, when I purchased my first chip, for my 98 New Beetle, Upsolute was the brand of the month. But I've talked with people in my area about Upsolute and I heard more than once that they had problems passing emmissions as well as getting CEL's. I went with Wett because it was best for me, what I wanted in terms of increased performance, and price. My Wett served me well for over 100,000 without a single CEL and the car passed emmissions with flying colors just a few months prior to it's sale. The car had 148k miles at the time. Now, I'm not going to argue with folks that love their Rocketchip, but that doesn't mean that I or anyone else can't love their Inmotion chip. Granted I only have a week on my Inmotion chip, but I love the performance increase and have nothing but good things to say about the folks at both Inmotion USA as well as Inmotion Austria, and no one can argue with the price.

 

[ewheeler]

Ok, but where did you have to send your ECU to. I just would like to know.

 

[DZLPOWR]

To his P.O. box in Oregon. Gunter will explain the shipping procedure after purchase. You have to use USPS as it is a P.O box. Overnight from Colorado to Oregon was $17, and return overnight is included in the price.

Mileage

DZLPOWER, glad to hear that you have good things to say about Inmotion.

Could you please update how your mileage has changed since chipping and if your driving habits have changed.

Peace,
Aron

I'm not familiar. Bring us up to date in one paragraph? What's so bad about Inmotion? They blow up turbos or something?

We DO need more options and competition for chip tuning. The dominant players charge waaaaaaay too much and are too inaccesible for most of us. More competition is good for us all.

Nick: You need to read this thread a bit more closely. On the first page, the fourth post is by Kerma, who falsely accused Inmotion as being associated with German Parts Wholesale. I posted that Inmotion is NOT associated with German Parts Wholesale.
Kerma has a bad habit, for all the good he does here, of saying all sorts of untruths and lies about other vendors, like he did with Inmotion. I most certainly agree with you, more choices, especially if the product is good, is what we need. I just get tired of Kerma throwing out his comments, which he did on his post. So, don't blame me, blame Kerma. Inmotion is quite popular in Europe, since their product is high quality and well priced. So I'm the last to ever say anything bad about Inmotion, unlike Kerma or Toomuchboost. So Nick, you need to get your facts straight before putting words in my mouth that I did not say.

Maybe Jim, er I mean "Gunter" should come on here and speak for himself.

Sorry, I misunderstood your tone. I'll just claim it's a byproduct of internet text-based communication. I'm not blaming anyone; I just want to know where all the unsourced negative viewpoints are coming from.

BTW: I emailed Inmotion with severl detailed inquiries about:

1. Can I just send in my spare eprom to him since I can get the other one desoldered and have the programmed one microsoldered in locally for less money? Would he do it cheaper? (It cuts his labor to about 1/10th)

1. Can he program the auxillary coolant heater glow plugs to come on more liberally (and not be so stingy)?

and whoever is there is very responsive about returning emails in a timely manner.

All: I'm not saying anything positive nor negative here, so don't read anything into it. Let's not start another chip war. I KNOW Jeff is good. He's helped me out with advice before; he's just really darned expensive and hard to get. I just want more options is all.

Nick

PS: Yes, I DID search the topics but found most of the threads to be flame wars of 'my product is better than yours' variety. That isn't very helpful.

Consumer to vendors: WE NEED MORE OPTIONS!

I am not trying to start anything here. I wanted to say, in an unbias way, that Jeff nor any other company is that expensive. We complain on here but have you ever looked at what the gassers are charged? APR and GIAC are known to charge almost $500 for thier good tunings. Jeff charges $325 and $4** something for his better tunings, stage 4 and 5. I think he upped his price for good reason. Considering your getting a chip that has 70 maps compared to Revo's 7 maps, it seems like a easy chioce. I am not trying to defend him personally just the price justifications on chips. On a gasser 2.0 you can pick up a chip for $120, but it is a N/A motor and easier to tune. I thought when Jeff use to charge what he did before it was a steal, now its more compared to good tuning prices, but still less compared to custom tuning or ggod tuning by other companies.

Sheesh, the nozzleguy sure likes his yahoo email addresses. If you have so many domains registered, why would you keep a yahoo address for conducting business?? Good research, Charlie. Not that he hides himself very well

 

[DZLPOWR]

Hello all you genius detectives out there, don't quit your day jobs. Try sending an email to the yahoo address, it's not valid. Inmotions email address is info@inmotionusa.com and if that doesn't please you, send one to Wolfgang at their home address in Austria, www.tuning-chip.at. And the information posted by Kerma and Drewser is clearly wrong as Inmotion is in Oregon, not Washington. Anyone else notice that we have yet to hear from any dissatisfied Inmotion customers? You know I started this thread to provide information on my experience with Inmotion, not to start a debate with underinformed members. Head over to Vortex if that's your game, there's plenty of impressionable 18 year olds over there looking for a mentor.

On a positive note, after nearly one tank, my mileage has remained the same. I'm a fairly conservative driver so my mileage doesn't include hammering the car, just daily accelerating and the like.

 

[Drewser]

Hello, genius alert. Try sending an email to the yahoo address, it's not valid. Inmotions email address is info@inmotionusa.com and if that doesn't please you, send one to their home address in Austria, www.tuning-chip.at. Last I checked that's nowhere near Oregon. Anyone else notice that we have yet to hear from any dissatisfied Inmotion customers?

Actually, you really don't hear much about inmotion at all. That aside, the point Kerma is making (and that I emphasized) is that the person to whom the inmotionusa website is registered to is the same person who has provided some pretty cruddy merchandise on this board (such as injectors that are simply crap) and his posts were extremely unprofessional.

Perhaps you're right...maybe it's a different person. But the fact that the TDINozzleGuy is even associated with this organization does not bode well. As far as the chip, nobody ever said he was the one actually making them...of course the chips are made somewhere else, and frankly the fact that this guy sells them is not necessarily a reflection on the chip. I truly hope you have a good experience. However, he will never get my money, nor will anyone associated with him. I experienced his days on the board.
