Yes, you've all heard about Pandora's box, and the Zat box, and the 
meddling with this capacitor and that resistor.  The truth is, you could 
make an L-Jet go fast(er) with its analog ECU, but it's easier using other 
methods.  I simply swapped out the L-Jet system for a Motronic system.  
Instantly, "chipping" became a reality.  Any tuner who modifies a Bosch 
'box can help you out (I got the assistance from an Audi tuner).

As Zamani mentioned in his post, a whole EFI upgrade is the best bang for 
the buck, IMHO (how serious are you?)

If you don't feel like spending that kind of money, then a freer-breathing 
exhaust is usually the cheaper alternative.  Nothing comes free or cheap, 
however.

When I was in college, and wanted a few extra horses or pull a few extra g'
s, I'd visit APE and buy so-called performance mods from junked cars.  The 
performance gain was all in my head - purely psychological.  Ten years on,
  I can smile at that, but I wouldn't recommend anyone in this forum to go 
down that road.  Why bother?
