Default Chips for a Newbie

Alright guys, sorry to annoy, but I am picking up my 2004 A4 1.8 tomorrow and need a quick education on upgrades. Is there a website that tells me what I can do? Explain different chips?

I want to get it all done at one time, so any recomendations on a shop in So Cal?

lastly, can I remove the stuff and sell it on ebay when I sell the car?

Thanks a lot!

you dont even have the car and your thinking about what to do when you sell it?!

one step at a time man

i have GIAC, and like it alot, youll also want to consider a DV, although the 2004 allready has the 710N most people upgrade to...

maybe also an exhaust or snub mount...

Apr and giac are the most reputable, either of them are very good.

Another chip to consider is 'Upsolute'.

It is great!

And yes...an upgraded DV is recommended.

I'll let you know about the Turbosmart DV/BOV once it's installed. This thing is even adjustable (sound)...really cool.

Not ricing the car, just like that 'pfffff' sound!

Anyhow, there's great power with this chip!
