My kid brother chipped his golf and blew the engine within 5k miles as the fitter didn't make an engine mod also, so I'm nervous about just doing a chip/remap without knowing all the consequences and/or knowing someone who has had it done already and driven it around for sometime, especially for a 3.0 variant.

Cheers.
Eric you're MK area if I remember right? Superchips HQ is in Buckingham and they do fitments on site there if you are concerned about the quality of the installer. But chipping it on a non turbo car gets minimal results compared to a specialist rolling road remap.
