Regardless of chipping,
Get the timing belt and tensioner changed.
Several examples on this board and at my local service department of premature failures.
Audi has an updated tensioner with a piston mechanism. The old tensioner used a ball mechanism.

APR tuned

I added my chip at 55k only problem I had.....
was with the bypass valve. Under acceleration I was losing boost, this was confirmed when I added a boost guage. I ordered a Bailey valve and all was good.

SScott please give me your advice!!!
I think that I have that problem. I have the stage 3 from TAP and I'm very happy with the power of the car untili recently intall a boost gage and found that I get 18 psi when I open my throttle, but after I reach 5000 rpms the boost starts to go down up to 11 psi at 6500 rpm.
Is that the valve. Is it similar to your problem??? Can I do somthing to keep the 18 psi all the way up to the 6500 rpms???
