Yeah, I joined in hopes that this will get bigger, I really don't like the format of the forums at AudiWorld.com. I just bought a '98 A4 1.8T FronTrack Manual Trans, and need to make it go fast but have a limited budget. Im gonna put some snow tires on it then get a chip, which one do people recommend?

 

Has anyone had any experience with the Neuspeed 1.8T .8 bar P-chip? That's the one I am considering because it costs 1/2 as much as the APR/Wetteruer/ or GIAC chips.

 

From what i heard neuspeed chips are sh*t, but thats what i just heard, never had any experience with them myself and also of your car still has warranyt i suggest buying a whole new board and putting the new chip into that. if you ever need to do warranty service you just put the old board in there.

 

Na, I got no warranty left, I'll prob just wait and save up for one the good ones, I've heard they're worth the $400.

 

I have the GIAC X chip, but it is only available for the 2001 cars.</P>


APR offers a great chip with the EMCS fuctions it is a definite top 2 choice</P>


GIAC also makes an excellent chip</P>


some other chips that aren't too popular anymore but are solid choices: Wetterauer, Neuspeed, Autothority.</P>


</P>


Depends what you want from the chip and what upgrade path you want to go with. Ie: If you want an APR stage 3 in the future get the APR chip, upgrades are free. If you want the PES T28 kit or a GIAC K04 upgrade, start with a GIAC chip.</P>

 

Well, I found a group buy on A4forums.com and today i go to check it out again, and the site isnt there. Random.

 

the site isn't working for me either. What chip was the group buy for?</P>


I've dealt with Supreme Power Parts before (definitley recommended) and they sell everything neuspeed. I think you would be happier with a 1.0/1.1 bar chip.Check them out.</P>

 

check out www.autothority.com they are one of the most respected and well known tuners. not to mention the great work they do. i have their stage one chip in my car, putting it right at about 195hp at the crank. check them out.

 

Just found out that I can get factory and performance products from my work at cost, Where I work at turns out to be a TTP dealer (Turbo Techniks Psomething), sweet.</P>

 

Never heard of TTP. What kind of performance stuff do they sell if you know?
