Default Help with CHIP tuning

I'm thinking about swapping my stock ECU for a APR 93 Octane ECU for my 00 A6 2.7T 6spd.

Is it plug and play??

Also, what should i need to replace? DOV? TBB?

Is anybody sell APR CHIP???????

send me an e-mail

Default don't swap the ECU...just swap the chip...

provided the ECU has the same numbers as yours does.

There are many codes, immobilizers, anti theft, etc. that have to be taken into account for an ECU swap. It can be done but you need instruction and a VAG-Com set up.

Default For a 2000 an Ecu swap is safe providing it has the same letter.K eg manual or automatic.

no immobilzer issues in 2000

Default As others have said, for MY 2000 it is plug and play, just make sure the ECU has the same Letter

code on it. Yes, you would want to upgrade the TBB, either Samco, or APR, or you could go with the bi-pipe. DV's the Audi 710s do just fine. Good Luck, it really transforms the car!
