Default Any V8 guys running this....

What are your thoughts? Is it worth the dough?

I notice it says 2002 and up. This won't work for 2001? I have an email in to them to find out, but haven't heard back. TIA<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=585">http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=585</a</li></ul>

APR has it on their site. It is under A6 2.7t ... it's confusing, but there

Default I'm guessing it's the same one that Achtuning carries, which is

suppose to give you an extra 35hp. The GIAC chip is only worth 20hp.

Default If it's legit, 35 ponies for 600.00 seems worth it to me, but.....

I'd like to find someone who is running this so I can verify the gains.

Default Achtuning also carries the same type of chip for the V8 Allroad, so you

might find someone with it on the AR forum.

Unless they show you a hp/torque curve, an absolute number isn't worth much

Default GOAPR.Com under allroad BAS* A6 4.2 02-Up they claim 52hp i think it is BS Hp rating. Will not work

on 01 because APR can not flash load an A6 4.2 ecm 2002 under since they haven't broken the code. Giac has an new kit and the 2001 is flashloadable. I wouldn't chip a N/A imo it is a waist.
