Tiptronic Upgrades?
To start off, I am a newb. I will be tuning my car piece by piece over the next few years. I want to start with the transmission. All I have found so far are 2Bennett. Are there other companies that upgrade the Tip? Money isn't a problem because I will just save accordingly untli I can get what I need.

Like chimchim said, talk to VAST (recommend talking to VAST first)
don't think 3zero3 is selling the tc anymore. Recommend giving careful consideration as to what you want (or excpect) out of it (think of what you want the car to do, how you will be driving it) and then set about obtaining clarification on how to attain your objective.
I highly recommend the VAST Tip Chip - one of my favorite upgrades!
Might as well warn you up front, money will become an issue (it is just a matter of time) - but if done well the upgrade path can be very rewarding.

Get a six speed. I have a tip. and wouldn't buy another.
Stay away from Level 10. Heard lots of bad things.
If you stick with the auto., I read good things about these guys but haven't used them myself....<ul><li><a href="http://www.importperformancetrans.com/volkswagonauto.shtml#main">Link to IPT</a></li></ul>

I agree, I like the TIP a lot due to the amount of long drives I do for work. Plus, it allows my GF to drive it without killing a clutch. I am just concerned with the durability of a stock TIP with the massive torque coming out of a chipped engine.

How many miles have you put on your TIP since going stage 2?
I just want to make sure I am not going to fork out extra cash to replace the tranny when I could be spending it on better things.
P.S. I like the idea of 350+ HP and TQ
