93,000 miles and adding a chip?
Good idea or not so good idea?
I believe everything is stock. I've been asking around and it seems that everyone I talk to is a little mixed.
What all needs to be replaced/upgraded in order for this to work?
Also, about the tip chip, does that just get included into the ecu? Forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

TCU is the chip where the tipchip is located... I got my car with 45k miles on it and blew the turbos after chipping it at 57/58k miles.... You are at 93k I think this is a horrible idea unless you have money to replace the turbos saved up.

GUESS IM SAVING FOR TURBOS! 85k over here. I think once they go ill start really putting money into it.
QUESTION OVER HERE
If you put new diverter valves (710N) is there any time limit that you would need to chip the car within or chip it at all?

People chip at high mileage....
Some blow turbos early even stock.... I think you'll be fine if you don't beat it up constantly, maintain the car well, and do the prerequesite upgrades (TBB, DVs).. Also always do the warm ups and coold downs... There are guys with way over 100k miles while some unlucky ones have turbo issues as early as 40k, though usually at higher miles.... There is no way of saying for sure....
