Upgrade

Been watching in the background for about 2 years now, first post.

Question:- Running 99.5 Tip with APR 93 octane chip and I have been very happy with its performance, however my turbo is now failing. I would like to upgrade what I have, even if it means changing my APR chip. What are my options. Am concern that too much power might affect my tranmission. What do you guys recommend.

cheapest route would be to find a used K03. or, sell your chipped ECU, and buy AWE's K04 kit at WF.

WaterFest

IIRC, it's around $300 off and sell your chipped ECU for another $250-300+ profit (after buying a used stock one, try car-part.com)

so, about $1200-1300<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&PP =a4_18t_drivetrain.cfm&PPT=Drivetrain&IL=A WEK04">http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&

I did! Dragways w/2" of water dont hold much interest. It also seems more a venue for kids.
