ORIGINAL: 01afour
trust me i tried everything to get the chip. i said it does everything from improve the mpg, to tune the abs system, i came up with so much b.s. about the chip and they still wont let it fly. and dont worry i have a job, i pay for my car and my insurance and icommute to school so i really dont have enuf time to work and save up money thats y i was askin my rents for the chip. im probably gunna get a ratchet set from snap on or something cause i still have the connection from when i worked at a body shop. what are the real names for those screwdrivers that have the star shaped head? i wanna get a set of those too. and cincy i would do the diode cause i read the entire thing and was gunna do it befor i read that the car has to be a '00 or '01 or something, my cars a 99 even tho thats not wut it says in my name.

Yup, you'd need a MAP sensor for that diode mod.
Speed Tuning has a deal ending this month - send in your chip and they do it for $125 - better than paying $500.
http://www.speedtuningusa.com/ call Oliver and tell him your with Arron's group buy on Audi Forums, and he'll tell you what to do. Thisecu programis actually very good. I did mine and like it a lot. You can afford $125 plus shipping, right? It adds about 50 hp steadily increasing through the rpm range, and increases the torquewhere itwould normallyplateau with the stock ecu programming. Your '99 is a 1.8T, right?
a few of us have done it and like it. read the speedtuning chip reviews posts.

RE: tools.
yeah ive been following the speedtuning group buy and everything, the only reason im hesitating on it is because i plan on doing a lot of mods in the spring and cant afford to send out the ecu every time i mod it. how long did it take you to get the ecu back? if its like 3 days i can probably work with that but if its longer then that i cant do it. i kno im gunna get the tools that i need to wrench my own car and hopefully i can convince my rents to buy the chip too.
