APR ECU Upgrade. My input! (UPDATE PAGE 2) GO GO GO!
2001 A4 1.8T Tip
As I said earlier, I was going to get some stuff done to my car.. Well heres my input!
The APR ECU Flash Upgrade is the best bang for your buck! My car is so much more responsive, and responds a lotfaster at that! I feel the gains in horsepower indefinately. I'm pushing at least 200 now.
With the chip, I upgraded my DV of course to Forge 007Ps.. Lifetime warranty on those of course, and everything is good with it.
Unfortunately, they were out of stock on K&N Air Filters - Will pick one up in 2 weeks along with...
They said whenever I wanted a Test Pipe(A solid 15HP gain)for my car, they'll upgrade my software so that the "Check Engine Light" will not come on after installation the pipe, for free!
Test Pipe will be $155 + $80 Labor for installation.
I get it done in 2 weeks!

congrats... consider getting a tip chip before the test pipe though... wont give you more hp, but will change the way the car behaves and youll be able to take more advantage of your new found power. Technicaly it will make you faster cuz it cuts more than a 1/2 sec. off each gear shift. Its my next mod, so im just excited.. We need more pepeswith tip chips round here. Guinea pigs, that is.

RE: APR ECU Upgrade. My input!
what is this program to get rid of the CEL that comes on with the test pipe you speak of? i might have to look into this...
im sure just like with any modifications you do to your car there will be some strain on certain parts, but i have had no problems

I think I read somewhere on the forums that the tip chip is bad for the car? I'm not too sure though, please be kind enough to give me some more info on that. Thanks!
