That Fu(kin crazy!!!!!!!! - they were going to charge you $800 and then dropped it down to $25 - I hope they just made a mistake on the quote or thought you meant something a lot more difficult. It just kinda blew me out of the water when you said $800, I mean the Bosh 440's only cost $225 how the hell can you charge that much for a program to run them. But, glad everything is going to work out - tell us what he says. I also have a Tip - didn't know just installing injectors with the right program could give me that much power.

Yup, no tip chips for the B6. I was going to go with GIAC only because i heard they had one, but they said only for the B5s, so i went APR.
I am running the APR K04 Stage1+ (+ is for injectors, there is also a stage 2 which is for a test pipe). I don't know how much of an improvement you will see going from chipped to chipped with EFIs because i did it all in one shot.
I just got my K04 programming yesterday (turbo was install over last weekend) and it throws you right back in the seat once you hit 3k, VROOM, GONE! I will feel much better once i can get a Level10 valve body and torque converter. then I'll just have to open up the exhaust I'll be set engine mod wise for a while and i can start working on her looks.

RE: B6 TIPCHIP!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!
It's a tip, and I'm about pushing the limits of it if I'm estimating correctly. There is a company called Level 10 Performance which can upgrade your tip to be able to handle 450hp if you have the money. Speced out I figured $2500 for the new torque converter, upgraded valve body, and labor to install to be abel to handle somewhere around 350hp which should cover everything i want to do. Not too bad really, but still more expensive then a a new clutch for a manual. For now I'm just sure that I let the tranny engage before I give it gas and almost always drive in tip mode, I really dislike the way the auto shifts anyway.
