fact is if you chip the engine to produce more force it will reduce the expectancy of your engine and gearbox which should be expected, more oil and filter changes lowers this risk but the life expectancy of parts will be reduced and easily replaced

 

Dude my car has 90,000 miles, 60 of which were chipped and to this day I have never had a single transmission related problem. And I drive like an idiot. Dont worry about it

 

im not worried its your car lol

 

So your advising ppl not to chip their cars. If so, you're the first I've heard thats against it, and I completely disagree.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I wasn't talking to you Avant, I was talking to the dude that posted the question...

 

no I'm not advising people not to chip their cars but that's my choice I'm just giving the facts on what happens and the consequences of their actions and possible loss of value of the car because of it, personally I don't give a ****

 

Give me the name of one person who has had their tranny "die" or "dropout" cause of just a chip. It is totally untrue. Many people run k04s, pc-16, front mount, exhaust, full nine yards and dont have a problem. Your torque converter isnt going to let the necessary power it would take to destroy your tranny get to it if it even got to that point to begin with. Shh shh. Chip the crap outa your car man. Go GIAC cause your gonna want more and all your gonna be able to get it a k04. Peace

 

Thats why i got giac, anything more than k04 might be bad and not practical with tip. fwd.

 

I cant advise on mods its your choice ( too many names of disappointed moders ) which I cant name because of security reasons lol

 

Thanks all for your advise... by the way, the car is not FWD.. its a quattro... that doesn't matter does it? I mean using the Giac/APR or not?
