I had my 2000 A4 1.8T chiped today with a GIAC chip. The place that did the work claimed that there was a "problem" and if I was to go over 5000 rpm I would loose all power and have to turn the car on then off again to reset the ecu and would need a MBC to fix this. Does this make any sense at all? becuase I figure he was just full of **** and wanted me to buy a MBC from him?

 

I doubt there is a problem. I've gotten rare overboost conditions in the last 3 years.

 

im 1+i peak about 23 then it holds @ 20 but ive never had an overboost condition and hell////////

what k03 holds power past 5k anyway?????????

 

no prob redlining in my car. maybe they wanted to keep you from racing. maybe they want you to take it easy for the first couple weeks while everything adjusts. 5ks bout where to power maxes, so you don't really go over it too often.

 

i got my apr chip, andhad no problems, forgot my sunglasses in there to i ahd to coe back like 3 min later and they gus were all excited to hear what i had to say about the power, but when i told them i was taking it easy they got dissapointed and told me to throw it around a bitbecause the had warmed it up and got it mostly adapted for me. lol, there si only one way to checkthe 5000 mark, and thats to p[ush it past that
