WELCOME BRIAN!!!!!!!!!

you'll feel right at home at this forum!!!!!

where are you located?

as for Mods........... start with a chip............. and as you start getting addicted to modding like most of us A3 drivers. you'll go into crazier mods

ex: Exhaust, CAI, sway bar, engine mount, fat tires/rims, shortshifter, bigger turbo.............

but just start with a chip, i'll fall in love with your car.

enjoy.......... and welcome again!!!!!

you can either go to www.goapr.com for APR brand chip,

or

www.revotechnik.com for REVO brand chip, both brands are very good and are comparable to each other. and both sites will give you a list of local shops around your area that'll service your chip/reflash.

Welcome newbie, disregard everything Chef, and Nam have told you and go straight for the new Ko4 turbo upgrade APR has and get all of those 300 horses under your hood!...... Just joking, Get the chip I have the APR, it works pretty good you'll like the immediate increse in hp and torque. But dont stop there send us some pics of your ride. good luck.

Would a chip void the warranty here in the US?

here we go again......... should tell him to read earlier posts or should i expalin it to him? ok, i'll explain.........


YES, a chip WILL void your car's warranty, but you can avoid that by adding certain features to your ECU, your aftermarker dealer can do it for you for an extra 50 bucks, that way, that feature will have a lock out code, and ONLY YOU will know that code, that way, the dealer won't find out about your chip
