The ride lasted a couple hours as we drive all around the island and finally put traffic to a halt as we entered the Lafontaine Tunnel. Once exiting, some of us stopped at the Shell gas station. The feeling of meeting up there resembled something seen at the annual Worthersee Tour in Austria, as they too have a large VW meet at a Shell gas station. The police tried blocking off the road, but we managed to escape in time, as they began giving out tickets to drivers. Some were unlucky enough to have their cars towed for being "too low" and for other miscellaneous reasons. Enjoy this video we put together of the event.

This three day Air & Water-Cooled Festival attracted all generations of Volkswagens and Audis. From Beetles to Type 2s and 4s to more recent models on bags and even a Phaeton. The show gather people from all over the North East to bring a weekend filled with a laid back atmosphere. BagRiders kicked off the weekend with a BBQ, followed with a performance by the Drop Kick Murphys. Saturday started off early with the show and shine, with several activities during the day including the car limbo competition. The afternoon called for a cruise out to the beautiful Vermont country side, over the scary Smugglers Notch and back to Al's French Fries for some Fries and Homemade Ice Cream. The show ended Sunday with another show'n'shine and with the Trophy Ceremony for the best cars in their class. This was our first time at the event, and definately not our last. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and meeting all the people that came to see us at our booth. Here are some pictures we snapped during the event.

The drive that gathers 50 or so Volkswagens and Audis from Montreal to the ever so big, Waterfest. A lot of new faces this year, and many old ones, we all took on the path to New Jersey. The participants tried to book at the same hotel as last year, but unfortunately Ramada has banned all Montrealers from their establishment. They were not sure beforehand what this meant, but we soon found out the whole deal once they got into town. Essentially, the city was prepared for them. Apparently, they were notorious for all the crazy parties, burnouts, shenanigans, and drunken behaviors. Out of all the 20 000 or so enthusiasts that invade the town, they were targeted as the ringleaders of the awesomeness that goes on. It was thanks to them that the cops closed down the Chili's meet, the Ramada burnout party, and all other small gatherings throughout the run down cities surrounding Englishtown. Stay tuned to our facebook page for the release of several video of the event. http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/453_klutch_online_contest_winners_announced!.html Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:51:00 -0400 http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/453_klutch_online_contest_winners_announced!.html News and R & D Unitronic Chipped and Klutch Online are pleased to announce the winners of our online survey contest.

His ride is unlike any other and is a perfect example of cleanly modded car. It has been featured in both Eurotuner and Performance Volkswagen magazines, as well as several online websites such as Canibeat and AirSociety. At first glance it may seem like an ordinary MKIV, but a lot of work and sweat has been put in by Don in his home garage. Shaved and tucked engine bay, CCW Classics, GT3076R from CTS Turbo, Unitronic Chipped Stage 3 Performance Software, Bora R front and rear bumpers, Bagyard Air Ride kit, Recaro seats, and the list just goes on. What is fascinating to see is the transformation it has gone through. Don bought the car years ago completely stock and has been working on it ever since. The image below is how it looked like the day he first brought it home. This is how the engine looks today.

The heart and soul of Quebec was poured into Eurokracy and it was reflected in the quality of cars and drivers that stopped by to say hello this past June 25. A day filled with rainy weather didn’t hold anyone back as over a thousand people poured into Autodrome St-Eustache to see everything from bagged dubs to stanced out JDM rides. What’s a car show without a Limbo Competition? There was stiff competition between Skip Tuning’s rabbit pick up, Sam’s static dropped Bimmer, and even VW Campbell’s Thing with dropped front windshield and no roof; but the winner of the competition was a bagged BMW Z4 from Ontario that dropped his ride to under 50″ from ground to roof! Wet asphalt made for an awesome burn out competition, a handful of dare devils lined up and ripped rubber. DM Motorsports’ burn out lasted for over 2 minutes long! For being the first event of its kind in Montreal, Eurokracy not only delivered the good stuff but pumped out enough epic rides to make sure that there will be years of awesome Eurokracies to come! www.EUROKRACY.com http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/425_wuste_2011:_hangover_eurofest_sponsored_by_unitronic_.html Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:39:00 -0400 http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/425_wuste_2011:_hangover_eurofest_sponsored_by_unitronic_.html News and R & D Wustefest was born in 2007 with about 130 Euro cars.

The event extends over 3 days only because Vegas is that cool. Saturday morning, Wuste drivers gathered for a BBQ and a drive up to Mt. Charleston. The twisty mountain roads and beautiful scenery are a way to relax before heading back to Sin City to wash up their rides to get ready for the show-n-shine. The Unitronic crew headed down to Vegas to attend Wuste for the first time. We provided on-site ECU flashes at our booth throughout the show.

This event, held in the Southeast, attracts thousands of Vdub enthusiasts from all over the States. There are even some Canadians such as us that made the 20 hour drive down there. You might be asking, “Who drives so far to look at cars?”. This show is unlike any other. It brings the love and passion that the whole community shares, no matter where you are from. There were many stories and “miracles” that people shared about their journey to arrive at the hidden German alpine village located in Helen, Georgia. One incident involved the Wagenwerks crew hitting a bear with their Audi wagon. Luckily they are alright, and the car was not that badly damage. A picture of the aftermath can be seen bellow. Overall, SOWO is an amazing event that keeps growing every year. The quality of the cars, the great people, and the beautiful village are what attracts people to come.

We have tested many TFSI tuned vehicles. Until today, we had never seen any real significant solution or difference from the other tuning companies, especially on the new engine platforms available through VAG and distinctively those with the TSI emblem. Their differences are more than what one could guess or fathom. The new Bosch Motronic MED17.5 ECU was proving to be a big obstacle for many tuners around the world. This was not an issue for Unitronic Chipped! MORE THAN JUST CHIPPED The Canadian based company specializes in programming engine platforms within VAG, which stretch from Seat, Skoda, Opel all the way to Porsche. Performance and reliability are tested and proven in their privately owned Engine Dynamometer just like the real Automakers. The philosophy is to make improvements that do not spoil the character of the car. This exactly was the purpose of Petros Nousis of CarWorks for the white VW GTI. All luxury options installed from the factory, ranging from full leather seats/ sunroof package and the amazing DSG transmission combined with the DCC intelligent adaptive chassis. It is very obvious that this GTI is a no-compromise vehicle. Instead of going only for the ECU upgrade, Petros moved the project a step further. He replaced the stock turbo (K03) with turbo from Audi S3 (K04). A Eurojet Racing intercooler was added, which is rated for up to 600hp, but does not cause pressure drops even at lower power levels. The intercooler installs in the OEM location, taking its exact place, using even the stock bolt positions, this required no modification at all. Thus it was chosen as the best option. Throttle body pipe is from BSH and is the “True Seal” intake, along with the Larger Diverter Valve that is used in place of stock electronic one. The exhaust is taken care by a full 76mm BlueFlame system, with 100cpi race cat and two mufflers. A necessary addition on TFSI/TSI engines is the Oil Catch Can system. Due to direct injection on the engine there is no fuel to drop and clean the intake ports and valves, so oil fumes return and remain on intake valves. A BSH Competition series catch-can system was installed. The job of sewing this all together was handled by Unitronic Chipped. The ECU was tuned to maximize efficiency and guarantee perfect usability and long term reliability of the drivetrain. The ECU was flashed through the Direct-Port leaving the ECU still installed in the vehicle, while flashing through the Onboard Diagnostic Port. Turbo boost can spike as high as 1.45bar. Though due to the inherent design of the turbo and to maximize efficiency and cool intake charges, boost would be not more than 1bar after 5,000rpm. You can see more details in the Dyno box later on. In reality, what is amazing is the rate at which the engine accelerates with a steady pace up to redline. RECORD BREAKER We took the GTI to a straight road where we do all our testing and measurements, we were in for a good surprise! Car seemed strong, but going for VBOX measurements without having done the dyno previously, we did not know exactly what to expect. Finally, whatever our expectations where, they were too little, since CARWORKS’s GTI simply broke our chronometers!! Without any drama at all, without any special effort, our 0-100km/h measurement stopped at the very impressive 5.3 second and the rest of our measurements continued to amaze us! 400m in 13.5 seconds and 1000m in 24.2 seconds. Our excitement was later verified in our offices, after studying older measurements on other tunes.This GTI, is the fastest front wheel drive vehicle we have ever measured!!! Until today, the title belonged to Seat Leon Cupra by Cargate back from 2008, with 5.7 seconds, 13.8 seconds and 24.3seconds respectively. So we took the car out again and did more testing, the GTI’s domination continued! From 80-110km/h in 3rd gear it takes 1.9 seconds (Leon 2.0sec); from 110-140km/h in 4th gear 2.7 sec vs. (Leon 3.0 sec). To note CARWORKS states times are going to be improved after Unitronic finishes the new DSG programming on the DQ500. If we compare the numbers not to our previous Champ, but to a stock GTI, the differences are disturbing! For example, 60-160km/h time has fallen from a Stock 12.9 seconds to Unitronic’s 8.3 seconds, that’s more than 4 seconds! The stock GTI propels itself from 80-100km/h in 3rdgear in 3.3 seconds and from 110-140km/h in 4thgear 4.8 seconds. The stock GTI comparatively, is very slow, with numbers like 7.1 seconds, 15.0 seconds and 27.1 seconds respectively on the 0-100km/h, 0-400m and 0-1000m. When driving calm, the engine never feels like its laboring to generate any sort of power, even showed very smooth acceleration in low rpms, while driving in high gear withnot much pressure on gas pedal, it felt very responsive. According to Petros, in everyday use, the car achieves lower fuel consumption than a stock GTI. The very good handling of GTI in all sorts of roads and conditions has not been hindered in any way to note! Even with all electronic traction systems turned off, the GTI had no problem coping with everything we threw at it. Only when exiting very tight curves in full throttle at around 2,500-3,000rpm power comes strong and some exercised caution is needed and recommended. But with electronic stability systems on, there is absolutely nothing that would trouble you while you accelerate with the highest possible rate from one corner to another. All this performance from CARWORKS’s GTI comes without the slightest disturbance of noise coming from the exhaust or intake. The exhaust system has a sweet and sporty note and is very enjoyable mashing throttle, but when cruising on the highway it produces no sound at all. If anything, you will be annoyed by aerodynamic wind noise and then by lack of exhaust noise! The electronically controlled DCC suspension has not yet been subjected to any improvement, along with the stock 17” wheels it makes for a very smooth ride. In “comfort mode” really is great for the long haul and bumpy roads. IT DOES IT ALL CARWORKS did not have an easy mission. This GTI’ setup needed to be fast but at the same time comfortable, economic and enjoyable especially on long road trips. What they came up with is simply the fastest front wheel drive car we have ever measured. Regular usage it consumes less than stock with the slight hindrance to comfort or drivability. Something tells us they DELIVERED!!! http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/334_official_launch_of_eurokracy_2011_-_powered_by_unitronic.html Sun, 06 Mar 2011 11:01:00 -0500 http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/334_official_launch_of_eurokracy_2011_-_powered_by_unitronic.html News and R & D We are really proud and excited to announce the official launch of this new event to Montreal.

Quality cars, passionate people and new events including car limbo. Basically lots of fun ahead! All information could be found on our website atwww.eurokracy.com Event though this event is Euro based, it's very important to mention that we welcome all stanced cars. As ya'll know, the EURO-JDM trend is to be found in all type's of tuning lately and often related to quality builds. This is not RATED13 but : There will be lot's of bagged cars, stanced cars, wide wheels & stretch tires ...
