Default Newbie performance quesiton

Recently purchased an Audi, and I've decided to chip it and put in a new exhaust now, and maybe later turn it into some kind of sleeping street demon...who knows.

Anyway, that means I'll put in other mods later, and I don't want to make upgrades now if they're going to be replaced later. If I put in an APR chip and exhaust now, will it require futher modding if I put in other items (like a new turbo)?

Everything requires more modding. You say "this is it...the last mod" then next week you want more

Default normally people here would "suggest" you search, but the search is messed up a little sooo..

If you got a decent exhuast (not just a muffler) you should be fine with that forever, but the chip is a little different. Unless you get the turbo upgrade from APR you'll have to get a new chip. If you go with APR stage 3 or stage 3+ they'll reprogram your chip, or give you a discount. As Stolen has already stated, it never stops. I'm sorta glad I'm a poor college student or I would have spent way too much on my car at this point.

Default If you get a stage III kit from APR they thow in alot of free programming because you have the CHip.

if you go KO4 it has to be replaced.

Default Yeah, APR had a KO4 kit for about 2 weeks.

The funny thing is that I saw their KO4 car driving around town for about a year or two.
