Default Chipping question: Don't worry an easy one...

It is common knowledge in the S4 forum (where I usually am obviously as an S4 owner) that chipping an S4 makes a world of difference even at "stage 1." Its like driving a different car.

But what says the Audi A4 1.8T crowd? With only one turbo is the difference worth the $500? Does it make for an entirely different car?

My girl wants a BDAy present, and she is either getting a upgraded stereo or the APR chip!

Told you it was an easy one. 2001.5 Stage 1 APR chip BTW, 91 octane only!

Default if she enjoys driving at all then chip, no question

unless she's REALLY into her audio and doesn't care about the driving experience.

does she have a sister?

chip for sure then. a chip will put the 1.8t a lot closer to an S4 than a stereo will

Default 170=>214,167=>257

those arent random numbers.

Those are claimed chipped HP and TQ numbers.

I didnt even feel my turbo until I chipped (probably the longer gears, but still)


I laugh at stock A4's that try to play.

Default dude, the sister thing doesnt always work.

My girlfriend makes fun of me when my car doesnt boost, plays video games, likes sex more than I do, wont let me pay for more than myself, and puts up with all my **** (we have all seen the cross dressing pictures)

and her sister is an evil controlling bitch.(that plays video games)

Default Let me say this....

My wife did not like driving in any way, shape or form...and always use to just drive behind every one else, never take over etc...

Than I got her and A4 (2001) and APR chip, now she goes into the passing lane, takes the lane that ends after the light....and when she gets home I get comments like

"the trafic was light, I got to tubo today !"
"I had to merge and there was a spot way up ..."

she will love it !
