I live in Canada and was wondering where the best place to purchase a programmer or chip, I would not like to remove my ecu. I have a 2000tt 180hp FWD Thanks

I used APR and love it.

 

Thanks

 

I went with REVO. It's a great chip and they can reprogram it through the port as opposed to pulling and resoldering the ECU.

 

Ditto on the REVO

 

I also went with the APR direct port programming. No pulling of the chip and invisable to the dealer (so they say). Easy to switch between programs, stock, 93 octane, 100 octane and valet. All through the cruise control stalk. Takes about 60 seconds to switch programs. I have a 2003 225Q. It makes a BIG difference. APR claims 267 HP on 93 octane and another 20-30 on 100. I'm not sure what is available for the 180. APR website is www.goapr.com. Max turbo boost has gone from 15-16 max in stock to 20-21 running the 93 program.

 

You say u live in Canada well that depends on where in Canada in Missauga there is JRP and they will flash your ecm with the Revo file

 

Ditto! Another Vote for REVO! They Kick A$$ [sm=happy046.gif]
