you could start messing with the wastegate of the turbo, but you run the risk of shortening the life of your turbocharger.
There aren't really any "free" power mods when it comes the the 1.8T. Cheap power mods, yes. You can do a "diode" mod and then use a MBC to get some cheap power, but that's not as good or safe as a chip, IMO. Invest in a performance program from APR, GIAC or REVO and get a major gain in power.
Plus, your modded 1.8T will arguably be MUCH more reliable than your friends DSM's.
