Default The Devil Made Me Do It

Well, I've really gone and done it now. Today I sent my ECU off to APR for re-programming. I couldn't get to that damn fifth bolt! But I was able to get the cover open and remove the ECU anyway (I was in a rush to get the thing to FedEx before they closed).

Pretty funny too, I left my car in the parking lot at the office during my chips abscence and all these people that were leaving work seemed to think that my brand new Audi was busted, they kept asking me if I needed help.

The only help I need is not to freak out waiting for my chip to make it back to me safe and sound!

Many thanks to the Denver Audi Lunch Bunch for finally pushing me over the edge!

Default Leaving at work is the best thing as long as you have your ECU shipped

back to the office! Cuts down on sit time if you ask me...that's what I did. Took a 2 hour lunch once it was shipped back to me!
