Default Just chipped B6 A4, now what?

Hello all,

I'm new to the forums, and don't know very much about cars. I'm leasing a '05 A4 B6, and I've just upgraded to the APR chip. I am curious as to what else I could do to the car that would upgrade it's horsepower and boost, without making permamnent adjustments to the car. I don't want to do anything drastic, because I don't plan on keeping the car when the lease is up. The only reason I did the chip is because I knew they can flash it back to stock program in a few years.

Are there any adjustments I can make to improve the performance of my car without making significant changes to the car? This may not be possible (again, I don't know much about cars), but if so, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tyler

Are you saying that you are looking for a mod, that has the same disposable properties of the chip? I don't know of any off the top of my head that would have significant or even any effect on performance without making a significant, reversible change. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't know of any.

I know nothing about leasing...can you do those mods on a leased car? It sounds as if he won't be buying it after the lease period.

yeah, everything is pretty permanent. i wouldn't mod a leased car if you aren't planning on keepin' it because you will just loose a lot of money in the process.

I have a leased A4 and have APR chip with flipswitch.
It dont matter if its leased. I am not going to be buying the car out after the lease is up.
But the chip,DV, etc.. was all worth it.

First of all, thank you to everyone who responded!

Secondly, and excuse my ignorance, but what's a DV?
