From my understanding, you'er not replacing the ECU, you are just adding something to it. DONT QUOTE ME ON THIS!!!!!!! This is only a quess from me because i dont have one.

This thread is pretty funny. I think we should view this as a thread that resolves the s-line + chip = (?) question rather whatever shenanagans seem to be going on thus far. I have heard in my vw days that a chip for the 150 HP 1.8T brings that car to a level playing field as a chipped 180 hp 1.8T. The extra 30 hp is not added on top of the increase from the chip. I suspect this to hold true for the s-line 2.7T, but that is just a guess.

I know some peoplewould liketo think it's about"Performance Gain", but at the end of the day, it's about customer services, delivering a quality product, how to get the customers to come back, and MONEY. If the company(s) can't deliver a product for my car, they why buy from that company?

Ok so now that you are asking questions, let me provide you with an answer like I have already done... NO, you are NOT adding to it. Like I have been saying ALL along, you are ERASING the original tuning and loading completely NEW tuning that GIAC gives you, hence the reason why I said all chips for the 2.7T are the SAME. Ok anyone else still miss understanding? Or better yet, does anyone else want to accuse me of just making this **** up?

I just love how you skipped over the 2nd part of my question so that you and prove your point.

OK, you answered the question about GIACbecause i assume that you have a chip from them, but what about ARP? On their website, it even states that the HP gain is based on your ECU.
I just love how you skipped over the 2nd part of my question so that you and prove your point.

Why spend all of this unnessuary energy of something that you dont want or have?
Now, if you would like to listen to me and I can explain this...
I have APR tuning for my A6, as my sig says. The link you posted is saying that the difference in ECUs and power gains is relating to what engine you have in your car. Look at the table right below that. See how the group ALL 2.7T A6's from 2000-2004 together, and they all have the same HP gains? They erase the original OEM tuning, s-line or not, and load there tuning on. Now, I know APR has a switching program that allows you to revert back to stock tuning if you want. It's a feature that costs extra, but then you will still have your stock level 265 HP to go back to. So in a sense you are keeping the 15 HP, I guess. Does this make sense to you? I don't like to argue, I just like to inform people. I am not an s-line hater, just don't act aloof around me becuase you think your car is better, thats all I ask. Are we good?

Ok chill man, like riot said, all I want to do is help you guys understand. I came into that thread and I saw people saying stuff like ti was fact and it didnt make sense to me, so I wanted to investigate. Yet somehow as soon as I try to explain something to you guys I get blasted saying that I am a "s-line hater". Not the case, in fact I have already admitted I like the s-line, I just hate tip. That is all...

I always though that when people said "chipped", is was a ECU add on and not an ECU reprogram.

RE: Who ever said there was a special GIAC "S-line" chip?
My E-mail to ARP:
I have an 2004 Audi A6 2.7T S-Line, VIN# WAUCD64B54N090705
I would like some information about a software chip for my 2004 A6 S-Line.
Dose APR offer a chip specially designed for the S-Line that will still give me the performance benefit of having an S-Line, or will it down grade my car to the same performance as an normal 2004 A6? The 2.7T S-Line produce 15 more HP and 22 more torque over an A6 2.7T?
Responce from ARP:
It will not downgrade anything, but you will only make as much power as the regular 2.7Ts with our chip. This is because Audi just made the s-line with a tad more power but there were no hardware changes.

Responce back to ARP:
There is nothing that ARP can do for the S-Lines owner? When we brought the S-lines, we paid for the extra power, so to chip a S-Line, you're basically throwing away the extra money spent on an S-line, that's bad business and unfair to the S-Line owners.
Is there anything ARP can do for the S-Line owners?
(But ARP dose not offer an S-line chip on there web site, I'm still waiting for GIAC)
