Default The "tip chip" ....

tells the computer to shift faster. Since Audis are luxury cars and 95% of the drivers are not enthusiasts. Audi programs in a little lag for smoother shifting. The Tip Chip tells it to shift quicker, to downshift with less throttle, and to hold it in gear longer.

Does it make a difference if you are in Tip mode? Who sells them?

Default 2 different chips. the tiptronic ECU is under the carpet in the passenger footwell..

it makes a huge difference! Gone is the shift lag,, gone is the slipping clutch feel.
