... and about 60,000 miles.

They were great to deal with and the one time I had a prob I shipped the ECU and they had back to me within 2 days after they received it.

If and when I go with a chip. I'll be looking at APR and Strat/OCT. I'm also looking into exhausts and would like whoever has the best Stage 1+/Stage 2 program.

Appreciate the feedback. Not familiar with Strat/OCT - off to look! Car sounds great, what do you think of the 402 mod?

I was worried when buying the allroad about suspension handling. My A4 had Koni coilover's and 17" wheels and Kumho's. That car took on-off ramps nicely

The allroad lowered just a bit thru the 402 mod and using some decent 245/45/18 rubber (I'm using the S03's) has been fun. Not as tight as my A4 but the ride isn't nearly as harsh either. Very good for a "family hauler".

I might add the Sport package swaybar from the A6 to see if I can get rid of some of the tail sway on high speed sweepers.

Stratmosphere has been getting some coverage on this board lately - check out JBo's deal with the K04s.

The link below might help a bit...<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/oct.htm">Stratmosphere's OCT page</a></li></ul>

I have it...it runs good...but there is a revision coming out so I would wait.

Thanks again. I agree on the sway issue. There is the opportunity to do some real high speed driving here without fear of radar. I kinda got used to the suspension in allroad #1 but having changed from Porsche back into an allroad I do really notice it. I do plan to go to 18" wheels at some point and I will need to give some serious consideration to rubber. Temperatures of 50 degrees Centigrade are not very forgiving to tyres, so I will have to do some investigating. Ran P Zero on the 996 - great tyres! The allroad is great car and the better half loves it too!

performance wise I would think there wouldn't be much difference from one chip to another....

but since you don't have a local shop you could either order the programmer and dump your own updates (that's nice), or wait till the new release is out.

it handles flatter and is much more controlable near the limit.

where is here??? : ) curious to see what your oil temperature runs at in those temperatures
