Default what should i do....

hey everyone.. I'm a happy owner of a 2000 Audi S$.. I love the car.. So far i have bilsteins with H&R springs, AWE cat back exhaust, Forge DV's.. The car just hit 100,000 and i wanted to ask the people on here what i should do.. Waterfest is this weekend and my options are as follow:
- Giac Chip
- Timming belt change with everything upfront.
I dont know what i should do first for the reason being that i want to get a chip b/c of the price they will have at the show but i also want to change my timming belt just to make sure everything is running fine... Any imput would be nice..

Default when was the timing belt last changed (miles and time?)

if it has never been changed and you are at 100k miles, you're living on borrowed time.

Default No brainer -- you have to do the timing belt (assuming it hasn't been done)

my rule is scheduled perventive maintenance always comes before performance mods.
