Iam looking into being chipped to gain more HP? i can get 20% off the price but, not sure what effect it will have on the car and also this was just a thought due to the discount, they told me it would be about 30hp? is this true and also GIAC would be providing it through AWE....? Is this the only optioni have? and or exhaust...? Possibly Kimbo if you know? or anyone else, thanks.....

...Jigger with the boost pressures, wastegate timing, etc. On normally aspirated cars like ours, chipping only yields modest gains. 30hp sounds reasonable.

I wouldn't bother.

Der Kimbo

Which I can believe, but not without changing several things, including exhaust and air intake. One worthwhile mod, if anyone with some expertise would like to help with, would be a D2 S8 3 Stage intake manifold. That along with the other mods could easily yield close to the 380 - 400hp region.

RCBENZ

any idea about the cost on that? or who to talk to?

i was thinking that 30hp, isnt that much really? do you think it will be felt in the lower end or at the top end of speed, also they said it would de-activate the speed limiter, which i think is 155??...not sure, comments welcome....

I understand the D2 has less electronic gadgetry but it still has a sweet engine. And I do not believe I would be losing signicant trunk space. I put an order in for the Q7 last week but now am hesitant. It seems like any first year model will have bugs. Maybe get the S8 and in a few years get an improved Q7, D3 S8, or new S6. What do you think?

If you dont mind spending the extra $$, then go for the MTM Supercharger, but it's about $25k, and you get 450-500 hp.

what kind of $$ for the chip/install for the D3?

RCBENZ

th lost is like $595 with a 20% discount, but the $595 was a quote....
