And no dorito jokes please.

I really want to chip up my S4 avant TIP. I'm just a smidge too slow.

Also, what is the difference between the different milltek exhausts? Is one overly better than the other? My plan is to do a chip and exhaust and love my car for another year or so until the next gen comes out. Hopefully the next S4 isn't slower than my chipped TIP though!

Default nothing is totally "safe" but there are several options (m)

You will probably want a GIAC "Tip" program for faster shifts in addition to the engine chip.
Do a search and you will find everything you want to know but I beleive there was a discussion about a AMS/ABT ECU for tip transmisions that ran less boost. otherwise you could get GIAC,ABT,MTM,APR any are good and it is basically personal preference.
hope that helps

Default on a serious note... APR (m)...

from what i understand APR works with Audi in a "similar" way that DINAN works with BMW. For instance, I have an APR chip, dealer installed, and full warranty from the dealer. Good luck!

The dealer installed it, and its under warranty??? I've never hear of such a "friendly" dealer.

your dealer is not typical, most will not give this sort of support

Default I suppose you can't mention that dealer..

I didn't think any dealers would touch chips anymore considering all that has happened. Wow.

Default Actually Audi is working very closely with that company, here's what they've come up with.
