So, my clutch has slipped twice since my APR chip
and it seems to have gotten alot better since day one.
First gear has an amazing kick @ 3k and the turbo sounds scary as fvck (my friend was driving it and asked if I wanted to hear it, so I rolled down the window of the truck and heard him drop it into third . . . GAH!)
is that odd? that my OFE clutch is slipping with just a chip?

APR Stage 1 does not require you to replace the clutch....
unless of course yours is worn enough to slip handling the extra power APR provides.
The chip doesn't do anything to your transmission.
It might "age" a little faster, but as far as a newbie like me knows that's all.

I was noticing with my '01 that after my APR chip on a hard 0-60 run 2nd gear would slip a bit...
I could see the ESP light going crazy and it would loose power. either that or the ESP was taking preimptive action....
Either way, i have decided i hate audi's ESP...

I had a similar problem. After a few thousand miles with a GIAC chip, my clutch started slipping
Put stock chip back - no problem. After a few more thousand with the stock chip, it started slipping again and soon became undriveable. Replacement Sachs clutch is fine with the GIAC.
