Default Chip for 2.8?? Please help!

My warranty is finishing soon and i'm planning on putting a chip on my 98.5 30V Tip. I was told by the guy who works in a modification shop that i should put the neuspeed chip (9hp).He goes to me it's better than the Giac one. Also he suggested me to put an K&N air filter. I was also planing to put a Remus exhaust for the extra power that the salesperson told me about. He claim to me that with all those mod, i'll be a little bit faster than a 2.8 with 5 speed. Is that true???? and if it is, baby i'm so happy )
Basicaly my questions are.....have anyone of you guys who owns a 2.8 30v and chip it, what u think about this mod, and which chip should i go with. Also what u think about the comment that the salesrep told me.......am I gonna get all that power or it's only a marketing strategy to make me buy all that stuff. He told me also, with the remus(specialy made for audi) and not the universal one, i'll be getting around 12hp if i put the chip. So overall, i should be having around 18 to 20hp with all this mods.
Note: i'm not hopping that with all this mods my car will be a rocket.......but at least it will be as fast as a 5 speed one.

thanks guys!! I realy appreciate your help!!

Default My guess is no. The tranny robs power and torque.

10hp and no add'l torque isn't gonna cut it.

Default Go with GIAC tip and engine chips (more)

this will cut your shift times from 1 sec. to around .2. I love mine, shifts are incredible, not even noticeable. K&N does little (maybe 2hp), whereas an intake will get you around 10 hp, and better throttle response. Exhaust is usually a good idea.
With this you should be able to give a stock 2.8 5spd a run for their money :-) Hope this helps.

Default Re: Go with GIAC tip and engine chips (more)

Thanks for your help. I'm still wondering how is it installed the tip chip? is it 2 different chip that i'm gonna get or only one? And what about the installation.....where can i bring it so they can installed on my car. Do u have to send your chip first? because i have no idea on how it work.
Another thing, i don't know if there`s anybody up here in canada who would be able to install it.

Thanks again for your help.....I really appreciate.

U can also e-mail me for more details:
