sounds to me like you're really after power
don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure at 16 you want to be driving a car with more power? Most people your age wrap bicycle's around tree's let alone cars. Why don't you get used to your car for a bit (like a year) and then decide to work on it. If you must chip it, then I suggest GIAC. I like the way it feels compared to APR.
I was 16 and did ALOT of stupid things in my car. I never hurt anyone or caused any destruction but, if people were around I might have hurt them. Take my advice, chill on the whole more power testosterone thing. If you need to feel a rush, go rock climbing, bungee jumping or play some lacrosse. Take it easy killer. This concludes my afterschool special.

no confusion
honestly, chip first then screw with other things. The MBC will do damage if you keep using it. Just trying to save you some $$ in the long run. I've had a k04, t28, then t28rs. I didn't put an MBC on until my t28rs and that's only because I wanted to make sure that I can keep the boost as low as possible. Goodluck with the setup.

sounds like a plan
I was just lookin for something to give me a little power... friend said that a MBC would be the best bang for my buck... But if its just gonna hurt my motor/turbo then it would be worth it just to wait

C'mon let him have some fun, in stock form the A4 is more than slow
plus even with a chip its not exactly a speed demon. As long as he has quattro, I don't think 200hp on our cars is too much for a teenager.

Depends on the idiocy of the teenager
Not making any judgements on the original poster, but the car in stock form is more than enough to get you in trouble in the right (or wrong) conditions if you lack proper driving skills.

I guess I should consider myself lucky
that my car was stuck in limp mode due to a torn N75 cable and only making 5psi for the first 6 months of ownership(I chipped it 3 months in). I think it was making less than 150hp and I was very disappointed with it's performance not to mention the chip made no difference. However I did get a good feel for the car's limits and was still very happy with it before chipping. After finally figuring out what was wrong, the difference in power was very welcomed. I however bought the car with modding in mind and knew which chip I was gonna get before I even bought the car.
