I am trying to decide when to chip my 1.8TQM. I am thinking on waiting 3000 miles....

I was originaly going to wait untill i got 5,000 miles before chipping but after 1,300 miles i simply could not resist. i went to AMS in So Cal looking for some clear corners and they took me for a spin in a Stage 2 car which made me drive out with the same chip. but i had mine transformed at 1,300 miles.<p>JC M.

I figured if the engine were defective it would have happened by then. I would have prefered to wait until after my first service, but I was at the A4 event at Neuspeed, so I did it there.

Waited 10,000 miles

Waited 22,000 miles

Um, 274 miles. And then we smacked it with 22 psi of boost. All in the name of R&D! Hehe!<p>Todd<br>Air & Water<br>1-888-565-2257

My car came off the lot with a 1.0 bar chip in it and 23 miles on it... I was unhappy with the chip and the dealer (Schaumburg Tuning) had its "tuning consultant" look at the car (Jones)... the car wasn't running as well as I thought it should be, and I proposed that we go back to a stock ECU.<p>With the stock ECU, the car was slower but ran more smoothly... then I decided I wanted more performance than just a chip or turbo would give me and called up a couple tuners... a tuner mapped out a plan for increased displacement on a legal pad with Win Ben Stein's Money playing in the background... the rest is kinda history.<p>Stay away from those Schaumburg chips.<p>Cameron

I put an MTM - Hoppen on at 200 miles. No problems. Hoppen chipS are installed at the factory in European cars as options - so it is not an issue - just break in car as specified.

What is your impression of the chip...do you have any ping or detonation problems??? How much did you pay for your chip. I assume it's a 1 bar program...or is it a more conservative .8 bar program??? Ohh and what grade pump fuel are you using.<p>I have a Neuspeed chip but have been interested in trying the MTM chip for the obvious reasons...Meyer's connection to Audi ect. ect.

Well folks, I just purchased my first Audi last week and couldn't be more satisified.<p>I do have a couple of questions regarding chip tuning:<br>1-What, if any, is the consensus on the brand of chip one should have installed.<p>2-Should the car be "broken in" before a chip is added.<p>Thanks in advance!<p>Jack<br>
