Default On the topic of chipping, anybody ever try these?

I am thinking about chipping my 2001 A4. I don't really know anything about chipping cars. Has anybody ever used or heard of these chips?<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_a418t.html">http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_a418t.html</a</li></ul>

Default It can increase or decrease mileage depending on...

...right foot persuasion ;-).

The 1bar chip closes the wastegate sooner than the stock chip does; thus more exhaust energy is utilized (compared to stock chip). As a result, you may experience ~2mpg better than stock (if you can train your right foot)...otherwise mileage could be lower if you're enjoying maximum boost most of the time.
