no chipping the 30v 2.8 is pointless. GIAC only gives 4-6hp so thats pointless. speedtuning claims higher and is cheaper but still not worth it IMO

Thx Bro. ive heard. That is why i put it up for sale 2 days ago on autotrader, hopefully it will sell. This is my first Audi and i really enjoy it any hints you give me would be helpfull. What should i look for when buying a used 1.8? whats the lingo, what is the 1.8 called anyhow?

APR wont be 400 if you get the extra program (which is a waste IMO).
The only difference between them is GIAC is more torquey. But you should choose based off what your gona be doing in the future. giac for k04, apr for stage 3, unitronics for BT. if your not planning on swapping the turbo in the future than any of them will be fine, but GIAC is my reccomendation, especially when coupled with a mbc.

RE: Chip question, give me some imput on yours
i meant for more than 1 program, each program costs something like 50 w/ apr iirc. where do you live?
as for the future, the only bolt on turbo's are the k04 or the elims. a k04 is just a k03 with a better tq curve and slightly higher hp, but the elims can actually put out good power. up to ~400hp. if your going with one in the future i would suggest Unitronics. that way you wont have to pay as much to get re-tuned.
and yeah mbc is manual boost controller. ~22psi is good. anything higher than ~20 is going out of the turbo's efficiency range. so spiking ~22 and holding ~20 is good. and you dont need to change anything else out with the chip, just a new dv to hold the extra boost. but ways to improve on the chip is adding a mbc/ebc, less restrictive exhaust, and fmic/wm. the stock fueling system provides plenty of fuel, so you dont need to upgrade anything there. now if you go BT you'll need new injectors and maf and all that.

RE: Chip question, give me some imput on yours
you can change between programs with apr using the cruise control stalk, so its like going from 8 psi to ~20psi when you switch from stock to their 91 or 93 octane program

RE: Chip question, give me some imput on yours
I have the full flash REVO, and for sure I felt the difference! I am currently pushing 14 PSI with stock air intake, Stock DV valve, and stock exhaust. But once that RPM reaches 2k and you start to hear that turbo spool, then you hit 3k and my car takes off! Defenately faster before I got the chip.
Tomorrow I'm installing a Forge 004 BOV and an ABD air intake, and I'll let you if it feels different =]
