I found this chip http://www.performancechipsdirect.com/Audi/A4/
Seems too good to be true.... Anyone have any opinions on this?

Those really work! It's not quite as good as the APR one, but costs a lot less. While you are at it, be sure to add winter air to your tires before the summer gets here. The denser air will improve mileage and speed. And, if you are interested, my company can sell you some special stealth car wax called "vanishing cream". Not only does it make the car slip through the air much faster, but you are virtually invisible... to radar and other non-Audi cars.

So, obviously I was being funny... cracked myself up anyway. You can be sure this device doesn't do anything but drain your checking account. Notice that the model/version is the same no matter what car you choose. And, there is no explanation of what it does. Conversely, check out www.goapr.com or the GIAC web site and see all the technical data they provide.

Yeah, I think I will go with the APR chip. I like the fact it is untracible from dealer tests. Also there is some pretty nice software for it. There is a place less then 30 miles from me that program and install them so that is a plus too.
