You should be able to find local dealers by going to the tuner web sites and looking up their dealers since its best to deal with someone local when doing a chip. If you need any actual parts feel free to PM, Email or even call me up and I can get you prices on just about anything you want or need.

Agreed.

Audi fitted DSMIC as standard on the 190bhp S-Line B6 here in europe which is what I now have.

I wonder if the new ER B7 Sport dual SMIC kit would fit that car. I have all the ER kits on sale right now including the dual SMIC kit at around 15% off the Intro MSRP.

Has any one heard about the PCD chip stage 1 from performace chips direct? It attaches to the air intake temp sensor. Claims instant horse power gains.

Junk and a waste of money. You dont gain anything by changing the air intake temp readings.

I would recommend FMIC over DSMIC. I have the Neuspeed DSMIC and I still get heat soaked pretty bad. But then again, maybe it's because I'm in FL.

I have a quick question.
On the ECS website it has a product that plugs directly into you ECU. Here is the link:
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B6_A4-...Tuning/ES1109/
Is this the same product that is used to the the ECU flashes?? Such as the APR 1 and APR 1+? I would love to do this myself and it is a lot cheaper than paying $500 + do have a shop to do this.

Looks like its just a way to load your own programs, and switch between them. Me personally, I would rather pay a dealer todo it right, then risk loading something I shouldnt by mistake and risk the car. Maybe thats just me though. Paying $500 for the gains youll get from the flash seems good to me though

Correct, that is just a home loader. You still need to pay for the tuning to load it into the chip.

It states it in the discription.
APR's home programmer allows you to load any APR available programs into your installed APR EMCS module regardless of the number of "memory slots" you purchased
