RAISED FROM THE DEAD!

 

I know I am late to the game but I still have to ask the question.

I just bought a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8L, Is there a chip for this car?

 

Mahktha NO just for your can thou everyone else can use GIAC or APR

 

More HP and Torque is good, but what about the gas mileage? Say I get 40-50 more HP + 60/70 lb of torque. How will my mileage suffer on 91 gas?

 

You should probably list which is better at what and such. Get quite a few of those type of threads too.

 

first make sure the file runs on 91. im pretty sure that those files are 93 octane, unless you get a 91 program.

 

My car (details in signiture) has seen about a mile per gallon to two miles per gallon decrease in fuel economy after upgrading to the APR chip. But this might be because I drive the car harder now. Ultimately, mileage isn't the problem; it's your right foot and its desire to stomp on the gas every chance it gets.

So wait one minute. I just looked at APR and GIAC's numbers for the '01 Audi A4 1.8TQ and I see APR gets you from 170hp to 214hp and GIAC only gets you from 170hp to 208hp. Also, in terms of torque, the APR chip gets you 247 lbs/ft and the GIAC gets you 226 lbs/ft. How is the GIAC chip better? That said the numbers are all over the place. I took these figures from GIAC and APR's websites. I have seen different figures posted on AWE's site for the GIAC chip. I have the APR one and I absolutely love it.

 

So if i purchase a "chip" will I have the capability to tune it myself? or do I have to rely on someone elses tune from a different part of the country?

 

Does anyone know anywhere to order a GIAC Tip Chip from online? Where do you guys pick up most of your mods?
