Default Looking forward to Chipping!!

Hello fellas! Just got my neuspeed p-flow installed yesterday, and its working like magic.... peew peew lol. Now i'm just looking for the right ECU upgrade for me. As far as i know, only APR can switch programsusing the cruise control buttons. (am i right?)Both revo andneuspeedhave the extended controllers toselect program.But I've read some posts saying that APR's ECU is pushing the engine kinda hard, while nuespeed is more moderate.I haven't read much about Revo.Can i get some simple introduction of each ECU,such as "APR would be a better choice for ppl who like more power and have less concern about depreciation of the engine"or "Neuspeed ECU has some power gain, while protecting the engine from over-tuning"... and REVO... well there are just based on the posts i've read. I'm sure i'm not 100% correct about these statements. ohhh... and where's a good place to go for chipping in/around Irvine area?? Enlighten me!! thanks guys

Welcome!


Have you read the NooB thread at the top of the A3 section? There is good discussions there. Come on the GTG to Solvang tomorrow and you can experience many different Audis with different tunes. Check out the "West" section at the bottom of the forum for info.




Cheers!

I've seen and been in cars with the APR, GIAC and Neuspeed Chips, while I personally have the REVO. ALL of them are very very close to each other in performance. Since you have a manual transmission, I think you could choose any of these and be very happy.



Cheers!
