Default Chip problems?

Ever since taking my car to the dealer and replace my Abt chip with my stock, and then back again, it seems like my TT225 is making funny noises. The engine when revving sounds like a cross between an old Beetle (knocking?) and an old Jeep (whining). Did I just screw up the codes or is something wrong with my engine? The guys at AMS seem to think I didn't wait long enough after installing the chip with the key in the neutral position (I waited about a minute) and they're going to reset my codes today. Hopefully that should take care of things. Input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

3 minutes with key on should be right.

Would it reset the codes if I just stick the key in neutral for three minutes without having to change the chip again?

Default that I'm not sure of.....

I think you need to unplug and replug in the ecu then do the 3 min. thing or use vag-com to re-calibrate the throttle body.

Default sounds silly, but make sure the rubber sealing tube thing that seperates the ECU from the engine is

sitting properly. I had mine out for a few days and the engine noise is much more apparent, sounds like an old beetle.

Default Needless Opinon: That's the reason I bought APR -- with EMCS -- no switching of ECU

It's a relief for the mechanically disinclined. Also, I heard the placement of the TT ECU is a bitch to deal with.

I've got scars on my hands from swapping the ECU back and forth,
