Hey guys, im new to this forum n it looks gooood. My question is what is your opinions on the Tip-chip and if it would make a big difference in my performance in my 01 a4 1.8t q?

 

Changes your shift times from 1second to 0.2 seconds. This coupled with a new snub mount will definitely make a noticable difference. Are you thinking about getting the engine chip too? The engine chip would add 40-50hp and around 50lbs of torq. and THAT is a serious increase in power! I think you get a deal if you get both the tip and the engine chips. brrman's all about the tip chip, I'd PM him if you got more questions.

The tip chip would make your shifts alot faster, but that doesn't give you the HP. You also need the actual chip, that gives you the HP. From what AWE says you will see 40hp and 80ft/lbs of tq. I would skip the snub mount, its a bitch to install for only a $50 part, you gotta remove the front end of the car to access it. Its a good idea when you have the belts changed because the whole front end has to come off anyways. I would get a boost gauge to monitor the boost that you will be putting out. It will help you find any problems boost related with the car plus it looks cool. And if you haven't got a new DV one should be put on before you chip it. The stock 710 valve is junk, it wont last with the added boost that you will be putting out.

 

Trailboss, the tip chip and engine chip are 2 totally differnt things. You dont need both of them.

 

alright thanks alot

 

hey i have both chips done to my 02 and it helps so much i notcie alot with the ecu and then when i got the tranmission done it was sick i love it
