Big 2nd, plus it's handy to keep the stock ECU as a spare.

Default and a 3rd! You could also sell the stock one for near 50% of what you'll pay for a used

chipped one.

Default Man Zach, you've got *****! As much stuff as you've had to warranty lately??

I might hold off on risking voiding it until she proves that she'll hold together for a while. Then again, I myself didn't listen to this advice AT ALL...

If you do turn to the dark side, definitely get the used chip. A used ecu with a chip costs about as much as adding a new chip to your ecu anyway.

I finally got a VAG if you ever need it. Be careful man.

Default haha, thanks man...i was just throwing the question out...

we are looking at houses a little more seriously now and the $$$ isn't quite there. Plus, ever since I got my car fixed by Induktion and some last little nagging things, the car has been running very nicely. thanks also, i'll probably hit you up for usage of the vag-com once in a while.
