Default Toys on the way!
Just got an oil change yesterday and ordered some new toys.
A spare ECU and an APR chip, Forge BPV and an APR snub mount bushing. Should be ready in about two weeks.

I can't wait. Sweet...

why'd you bother with a spare ECU?

Because no matter what you hear, it is still the safest way not to get into trouble with Audi.

Default Exactly...
I figure I can always sell it once my warranty expires or once I feel comfortable letting it go.

Also, w/o a spare, my car will be out of action for a few days and that doesn't work for me right now.

Where or how did you order your spare ECU?

Not true, they just have to programm the new ECU to match the keys and the immobilizer.

I'm buying evrything through my mechanic - Vancouver West Motors. I haven't got it yet but the ECU is supposed to be about $1000-$1200. I'll post again when i get everything in mid-November.

While I agree.. isn't the dealership going to be a little suspicous when you ask for the codes?
