Just wondering if the engine and ECU specs are the same in both countries? (for chipping)
Also emissions and such?
Thanks for the info.

With the exchange rate, a car is a much better buy in Canada.

MSRP base model GTI 18910$USD
18910*1.59xxxx (current exchange) = 30059$CDN
But WE Canadians pay 26150CDN$ (MSRP GTI BASE MODEL)
So its 3909$CDN (OR 2459$USD) cheaper

VWofC was asked why Canada and US had this diference in warranty, supposedly, they claim that Canadians, specifically the Québecois are more demanding with warranty claims, that's what I read anyway...

Previous to the new '02 4 year warranty, the US warranty was 2 years B2B and 10 years powertrain. The Canadian one was 2yrs/5 yrs. The catch with the 10 year powertrain was that it was not tranferable.[HR][/HR]

Re: Any difference between US and Canadian 1.8Ts? (PoTs)
It cost $900USD and $300CAD to install. It handles the road really well it makes the car feel more neutral to oversteer esp. with their rear bar installed. Mine didn't lower the car one iota, but I have heard that they redesigned the suspension to lower the car some. It won't lower your car nearly as much as pretty much all the other manufacturers. Dick Shine explained it to me when I talked to him about lowering. He baisically scorns lowering with a street kit. It handles fabulously though and I like the sleeper look and I don't have to worry as much as others about busted oil pans
