Thanks.
I purchased a 2015 A* 4.0 with 18k miles in May....I'm considering the Chipwerkes chip vs. the full-on APR...

I have a 2013 A8 4.0. APR tuned. It’s well worth the tune. 545hp 629T It will crack your back off the line.

so by tuning the car brings it up to 100 octane what's the horsepower?

As far as the warranty goes my Audi dealer installs APR and says its a not really an issue. Apparently there is a ton of power left in the 4.0t. Along with our 8 speed transmissions the apr tune is conservative they say.

If my car stays problem free for a while i may consider it.
your warranty is through Audi or an independent warranty company.
