hey does anyone know if the slr performance chips voids your factory warranty?

thanks

Oh and can you install it yourself how does that work do you have to have someone install it ?

 

Never heard of that chip, any specific reason you prefer it over APR / REVO?

 

none at all i just saw a link for it on audizine.com figured i would ask about where can i find info on the chips you where talking about.. are they $$.. thanks for your help.

 

Hi brascal44,

Certainly read up on all the software choices available! The ones FusionX mentioned are popular and well-respected. I use superchips on my TDI, mainly because that is the software the tuner shop near me uses. Convenience to get the car reflashed should be a priority in my opinion, as I have needed to get the car reflashed twice after my dealer erased the software performing other maintenance tasks. My new car that I'm getting is chipped with ABT software and installed by Audi Taiwan without any consequences to my warranty.

As for your warranty, I and others have written a fair amount about it. The short answer is...yes...it voids your warranty on parts related to the modification you made. Some dealers, however, will look the other way, some will not. Try to research your local dealer...but ask around...don't ask them!

 

My two bits. I purchased an ECU programmer for my current car, whereby I could return the ECU to the factory settings in my garagebefore visiting the dealer. I can also get free software upgrades through the internet. I purchased the same programmer for my on order A3. The only problem with this sytem is price, at about $300 more than APR.

 

Superchips - ~$900
REVO - ~$500
APR - ~$600


I have the revo chip in my car and couldn't be happier

 

fusionx, is your A3 manual?

 

I had Superchips in my TDI...loved it...and dealer never detected it.

Will have ABT in my car...don't know if it sucks or is great!

 

no its not manual auto with dsg ........ anybody no any ways to improve gas mileage?????

 

dj- my cars auto/dsg

brascal44- drive like a grandma Chips will improve your freeway gas mileage but reduce your city mileage. So if your a freeway commuter I guess the chip can help you out on gas mileage there.
