Where exactly is Champion Motorsports? Hmm interesting, i never knew they gave a warranty.
Do you know how the warranty works? what is covered and what not?

UPDATE 2

We took the car to Riverside Audi in stock mode, they replaces the intake flap motor per a TSB . When we picked up the car switched to 93 and at 3,000 rpm it is still misses but in stock it's fine. Going to call APR(again) and ask what the hell is going on .

Called APR explained what is still happening they said call the guy that mods the ECU's are the Audi dealer.explain what is happening and ask him to help you out even though you had the car chipped somewhere else. The only way to figure out what is wrong is to take it to him with the 93 tune ,he said if the guy has an issue he should call him at APR. I feel that the problem whatever it is is beyond the abilities of the place where it was chipped .
Will update again after I talk to the APR guy at the dealership.
thanks

So the audi dealership with the car in tune mode found it was the 2 and 3 cylinder coilpack shorting out due to the added boost...don't know what the deal is but the car runs perfect now in the apr 93 mode just as fast as before thank goodness...it is so great to get the car back tuned because it is a world of difference from stock...hopefully 50k more miles with no problems...this thing pulls soooo much harder

Since you are boosting more & the coil packs seem to have a problem.

Maybe close up the spark plug gap...
Just a thought.

just something to look into.... but you probably want to also upgrade the DV as well. Otherwise, your just gonna keep blowing the stock plastic one. I have a Forge in my B7 works great with my REVO chip.

As for the warranty, I have 90k on my car chipped it at 42k and never had a problem. Oil and all my services are done at Audi dealerships. I always just tell them my car is chipped and not to add software and just ask them to keep the "chip" part off the report so its not a note in the system. They have always been cool about it.

Had mine done on Friday, my car is a hell of a lot of fun to drive. I had it done at European Legacy Motors in Houston TX. Nice guys down there. Authorised APR dealers. I got the tricked-out 4-program + anti-theft etc all for $599 + labour and tax as APR have a special on the B8 and my friend was getting that done.

I was told that the only way Audi can detect that the car has been chipped is if they view the logs in the ECU they can see that the boost pressure is over stock levels.

My turbo whistles at high revs, going to get a new DV for sure.

Great!
What trans are you running?
What setting are you driving your car in so far & what octane?
Thanks
