Default To chip or not to chip...

My 1.8t is sad. It wants a chip, but it doesn't realize that bad things can happen. Things like voided warranty and extra stress on the engine and drive components. Any thoughts on the risks associated with a GIAC. And is $515. including ECU install a fair price from my local tuner?

Default 515 is OK ...I dig my chip the most....and so do all my components

I got really tired of trying to get more from the 1.8 than it could give(before my GIAC).....now, the car runs better pulls smooth.
