you will not be able to get yours done without removing the ECU. Call Oliver at speedtuning 301-421-9464 for all details.

you could find buy a spare stock ecu and ship that out, either at a junk yard or in the classifieds for a couple hundred $'s.

Hey,

If you go to the ARP website you can find a list of dealers that can flash an ECU upgrade. so you don't need to remove the ECU. They just down load it off the net I think.

i think you meant APR , but he wants speed tuning because the chip is only $125 right now where APR is $500.

That shouldn't make a difference for the engine control ecu. They are probably just don't have the program for your automatic transmission ecu. Getting your TIPcontrol unitchipped and the engine control ECU chipped is 2 very different things. The ECU chip controls the boost, airflow, timing, and fuel. The TIP chip only controls shift points, etc for the TIP automatic transmission. At least that's what I think...but I have a 5 speed. Has anyone else here with an automatic TIPhad their engine ECU chipped by speed tuning?

you'll probly end up spending just as much if you buy an extra ecu, unless you can find a good deal from a car being parted out thats exactly the same as yours. or you can go to a pick and pull lot and if they have an a4 just like yours and you can pocket that **** lol
