Dollar for HP gained with an ECU tune is obviously much different for a turbo engine, but damn I can't believe the price of 18hp naturally aspirated from EcuTek. For what you get, $900 is crazy expensive, even when you break it down.
Again im not the most informed on VWs, but doesnt VW/Audi share their 2.0T across a million cars? Last time i went to AFRs page it seems like every car they make at least had a option for it.
