RE: Where to Chip?
A chip is a chip.
So..decide on the chip you want first.
THEN...pick a shop that is professional, has good service, and is CLOSE to you!! It really helps if the shop is close by in case your car gets flashed by the dealer and you need to get re-flashed with the chip. This also relates to the shop's attitude, will they do this for free? what will they charge? How easy is it to get an appointment? In my opinion, since the chip is a chip, the service and and a close location are the most important things once you've decided on the chip you want.

RE: Where to Chip?
Just as an FYI. I purchased an ECU programmer for the A3 I have on order. It is a self contained programmer with both aUSB cable for receiving updates over theweb, and an OBDII cable for plugging into the OBDII outlet under the dash. It allows me to return all settings to factory before a dealer visit, and to re-tune after the visit. The HP/torque after tuning is 245/266. I have this system in my Volvo V50 T5. No issues. Have a look at http://www.eurosporttuning.com/ Yes this system costs more, but I prefer being able to change back and forth between factory and tuned settings in my own garage.
