Default Speed Tuning tommorow!

So after debating back and forth with myself I am deciding to chip my A4. I just talked to Oliver, that guy is amazing. The main reason i'm just now deciding to chip after 3 weeks of ownership is because my parents are out of town lol. They didnt like the mods I did to my old eclipse so they said I wasnt able to engine mods except for BPU stuff. Right now they are in california taking my brother to USC. Oliver said I would have my ECU by friday afternoon which will be right before my parents get home. I also have a test pipe and Forge DV in the mail, (Thanks Chaos). Man I'm excited to see some extra power. Ill let you guys know when I get my ECU i plan on doing a full review for anyone that is skeptical. I also plan on doing a 0-60 in comparison to the stock one I had.

you might want to buy some coils just in case they go out when you put the chip in, after awhile, a few people who have got the chip have had to replace there coils. chips can commonly finish off a bad coil. just giving you the heads up

From what I have read, albeit I am still a newbie, you should or at least check and adjust your gap.

You'll love the chip. [sm=smiley20.gif]I know I do. As far as your plugs gap them down to .28 and you should be good to go.

Don't do that. The engine will never start if the plugs are gapped over a quarter of an inch! Gap them to 0.028", which I think is what McGov meant. If you need new plugs,pick up the NGK BKR7E plugs at any parts store, and gap them to 0.028".
