If you had a cold air intake professionally installed in your Volkswagen Jetta GLI, for instance, it would cost between $250 and $350 for the labor and parts combined. Doing so, however, would allow your engine to receive more airflow, thereby enhancing its performance.
Alternatively, a tuning chip—which typically costs between $400 and $600—can be used to change the mapping in your Volkswagen’s engine control unit (ECU) to electronically alter the engine’s operating characteristics.
Ultimately, it will be simpler to estimate the cost once you know exactly how you want to tune your Volkswagen Jetta GLI.
