yeah, I agree with CCA4, you will need a Vag-Com to do it

$30 for ECU sounds really cheap.

Edit: Also which company would you personally use for a chip for a k03/bolt ons only tune? And who has the best prices?

That does seem pretty cheap, but it appears to be the right one.

APR is known to have the most reliable tune for the B5s. However, there is a Speedtuning group buy going on for 130 bucks. Look for it in the B5 section.
