Default Brought the car to the dealer with chip in...

..first time i did it this way, mostly due to me being out of town and wife taking it in (usually i swap out..thought about it too late this time around and was a bit nervous about it).

Net result: no mention of it. I brought it in because of some steering wheel shake on braking (i.e. warped rotors, most likely). Survey said: they replaced all rotors (and pads). God bless warranty (for a little while longer).

Default I dont ever take it out anymore. The only time I'll take it out

is if I blow the turbos. Besides that I'm not worried, its an aftermarket warranty, and I dont think Audi cares about it.

Default They would not be looking for a chip for those symptoms. Now, if you had blown your turbos

you can be damn sure they would check.

Default You give them too much credt. They could not tell (upon driving) that my car was developing NO boost

whatsoever. I am not talking about limp mode; I mean NO boost. They were concentrating on my transmission for some reason eventhough I told the service advisor that it was engine related.
