That sounds great. Having read your reply will bring me to my last and hopefully final question. Is the actual ECU and DV swap easy? Are they accessible easily? I ask this because I've thought about buying an already flashed ECU so I can keep my stock one untouched.

What year is your Audi A4?

If its 2002 + all they do is open your ECU box and plug a cord into it, push a button and in 10 minuets it all loads... after its taken out you got better gas mileage and a newly found 40hp. Its amazing, and the DV swap isn't every difficult to my knowledge, many people do it on there own here on the forums. And I'm sure any basic mechanic can do the deed for you, for a few bucks.

How much better gas mileage are we talking about?

Prolly 2-3 more miles to the gallon assuming you drive the same as before you were chipped.

Hey Amze,

I called the local APR dealer. He said realistically i'd get 30+ hp and 70 ft. lbs with a chip and DV upgrade. Does that sound about right?
