Damn Guys! =)
Well Guys,
DAMN! DAMN DAMN! Well I finally joined the chipped 1.8T Club after owning my A4 for a year and a half, and....wow is all I have to say. My car is like a totally different animal. I jsut tested it for 15 min or so, but here are some already aparent obeservations. Levaing my neighborhood I usually give it a little but more gas, to get up to a decent speed because of just starting off and that I'm slow. But as I was leaving my neighborhood I had already hit 45, and the car didn't shift till around 3 grand. The smile was already starting to spread across my face at this point....I was getting on 44 and on the on-ramp my car just snapped back.....I guess this is what people say the big debate over GIAC and APR is...where APR is more of a smooth delivery, GIAC is like a lightswitch, with the boost turned on. It seems the car doesn't shift till near red-line if I give it enough gas, not flooring it, but maybe about pushing the gas halfway down.....very very interesting to say the least. =) The turbo when WOT has a different tone than before. Before when stock, it just sounded like it spooled up, no real turbo turbo whine that I could hear anyway. But now there is something cryin unerneath the hood. So those are just a few observations that I've noticed, it looks like now I may have to let my cool-down time be longer than a minute with the way I've been driving it toay. So I'm assuming that it is normal, the way the car shifts so much later now right? I also know my next mod is going to be the TT 710N BPV, but is there anything else I need? Any other comments, suggestions, input are welcome. The mod bug has officially bit me! Peace out guys!
