I think it's listed at somewhere around $600... does that price also include spare ECU?

Default Because they don't Hoppen doesn't feel the need to compete on price

Since Hoppen (who headed up Audi's US race program in the 1980's) is one of, if not THE top Audi tuner and MTM (the chip which Hoppen supplies) has a VERY close relationship with Audi AG (simmilar to AMG and Mercedes) they probably feel that people will be willing to pay a premium for their chip. I was...the dealer installed my MTM chip 2 weeks ago and I was very pleased. I wasn't particularly surprised since I had been in several chipped cars, including a Hoppen/MTM one, so I knew what to expect.

Regards,
Rodney

Get Garrett chip and Stebro exhaust for $1100. It matches perf of the MTM chip& exhaust at 1/2 the price.These 2 outperform all the others I've tested.
