Scotts Mototune is in Dover and they need to car for no more than three hours to complete the work. The information on the chip is downloaded direct from SKN in Germany so you only need about 3 days notice!
This is from memory, I had this all explained to me but I was still too amazed by the results to listen but what the process actually involves is sending the ECU model number to SKN in Germany. Then they wait two hours, in those two hours someone at SKN Germany is modifying the software signals of that particular ECU type. Then is is sent back through IDSN (?) cable back to Scotts motor tune. These new improved signals are copied onto a new chip and soildered back into the ECU. So as you can see this is not just '1 code fits all' like some companies, the 9n FSi ECU has four codes and SKN has different settings for all of them, thats how on the ball they are!
"For many years the name of SKN has been synonymous with the highest quality in electronic engine management developments. Unlike many other software suppliers in the market, SKN aimed from the beginning for sensible and TUV approved chip tuning and they have justifiably succeeded. For example, SKN have won the confidence of the German Interior Ministry and have
been tuning several special assignment vehicles for the Police Force.
SKN chip tuning programmes are TUV approved. That means they have been rigorously tested and comply with strict emission and safety requirements."

) to the front arch of the car,behind the grill, to the opposite side of the Gti badge.This when viewed from the engine side is a small indentation to the arch, right behind the aircondition aluminium tubing.U just cut through the 2 layers that make up the arch, and connect the opening to the airbox tubing.Thats all.Really good mod (but u do have to do some "destructive" work..)
