Default What kind of performance chip should i get?

I have a 1999 audi a6 2.8L Q, and I don't know much about performance chips, but do any of these seem good?

Amazon Amazon

Stage 3 Performance Chip OBDII Module
I know my cars not really meant for a lot of chips, but i just want something to help it run smarter and give it a little more power without it ******* something up.

No and no. Only chip worth the cost for a 2.8 is from SpeedtuningUSA.

Be aware that all aftermarket engine/transmission management software/chips are compromises. Simply snapping an aftermarket chip into a computer isn't going to do much good overall, regardless of it's quality or price. Engine and transmission performance enhancements should be left to professionals who are properly equipped.

Um, they are done by pros. You just plug the ECU in and drive... :|
