Timing belt Before or after a chip

I am planning to get my TB done this month and also am planning to get an APR chip. Does it matter which is done first?

I just passed 75,000 on my 2001. Do you think I may need it done soon?

Are the 2001's any different in this case?

2001's are different

however some have prematurely failed, so nobody here really has any faith that the 2001 tensioners will go the distance Audi says they will.

If it were my 2001, I would do it at 60K.
