Default Problems with Chips

I have a 2002 A4 1.8t Quattro. 5 speed with 27k miles. No mods done yet. What are the pros and cons of chipping? If I decide to chip, which one should I buy, and can I hook it up myself? Should I consider other mods before I buy a chip? How does a chip work? and what kind of horsepower should I expect with no other mods aside from the chip? do you really get 30 horsepower?

Default expect 30hp from just a chip. apr and giac have good reps.....

pick the one with a dealer near you. some installations need soldering, doing it yourself may void any warranty. expect to replace your bpv mine lasted less than a week after chipping. fix any engine problems before you chip because the chip will make any malfunction more noticeable

Default New 710N BPV ~$35, a chimpanzee can do it in ten minutes...

so if you feel that it is over your head, expect labor to run you 1.5 hours
