Put it in stock mode and lock it out for routine visits. Have it flashed to stock for big failures

what they did for the 2002 A4 when it came out.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/28715.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/28715.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Crew219 - while I applaud your efforts to get the stats... one simple fact remains clear...

It's the way you use the new found power that will make a difference. If you drive like a daily commuter you will see marked improvement. However, who here will not be sticking their foot it to use what they paid for. That will lower the mileage significantly.

APR - you should post your stats to clear this conversation up. Thanks All...

Default Indeed, but a car that runs richer at one given RPM

will burn more fuel than one that runs a bit leaner.

It would be nice if they gave us some more info. All they really tell us is what gains it gives. If they really want to sell these chips, more information is needed. APR?????
