Powerchip has an ECU mod for the RS4?
I was at a meet yesterday and spoke to the Powerchip guys yesterday. Apparently, they have an ECU mod that loads through the OBDII port...with dynos.
Going to check it out next week and if I can set it up, will film the dyno run on the subject car.

Re: Powerchip has an ECU mod for the RS4?
they have a nice brochure on their site...
dyno charts, etc.
93 oct
8 to 12 lb ft across the band
12 peak
10 HP 5000 rpm+
16 HP at peak
$990
must be installed at one of their shops...
sounds believable, but who knows

GIAC's close as well
they've finally made some progress on the R8, which will translate to gains on the RS4, too.
An interesting tidbit... the R8 sees about 40whp more -- stock for stock -- than an RS4 on their dyno.
Do the powerchip guys say it'll make power on 91? the STOCK programming sees correction factors damn near double-digits on a moderately warm day in CA on our crappy 91 octane
Hopefully I can be the guinea pig once they're ready to port over to the RS4... I'd really like the use of kill and valet modes, too, so my fingers are crossed!
