...with the L-Tuned IS3 gear, preferably a forced induction solution. I just got back from my local Toyota dealership, and while I was up there what did I see but a fully modified Sliverstream Pearlescent Solara. It had everything, even the super charger. It sounded like a dream, I couldn't believe it when I saw it pull into the service bay. I asked the owner about it and he seemed very proud that he had the only TRD Solara in the area. Even after I got the oil changed in the Tacoma I took up there I didn't leave because I was to busy drooling over the Solara. It was so beautiful, if those L-Tuned parts aren't out by the end of this year I may just save some money and purchase a TRD Solara.

Chip upgrades on the A4 1.8T are very effective only because they raise the boost on the turbos. The chip mod is usually accompanied by a free-er flowing exhaust, which also helps generate more boost on the turbos.

You're not going to see those kinds of results on a NA engine.

However, supposedly some of the RMM intake kits come with a replacement chip to take advantage of the new intake.

The kit we've seen for the IS does NOT include a chip and is still expensive. The kits they sell for the GS and SC do have chips and they're like $1200 or so.
